Fuck everyone involved with this.

Today I made a wish.

Be honest… you’re thinking the same thing.

Donald Trump doesn’t care about you.

He is using your tax dollars to fund another war in the Middle East while working families can’t afford health care.

So much for America First.

Hegseth Says U.S. Troops Are Fighting for Jesus. The Pope Disagrees.

"In late March [Pope Leo XIV] warned against invoking the name of Jesus for battle, saying in a Sunday homily that Jesus 'does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.'”

10,000 veterans have lost their homes in the last 10 months. The highest foreclosure rate in a decade.

The Trump administration was warned this would happen.

They shut the program down anyway, with no replacement and one week's notice.

How Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Vaccine Agenda Risks a Resurgence of Deadly Childhood Plagues The health secretary is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market. History has shown how plagues from the past can roar back...

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners.

Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back.

Shocked Matt Schlapp would approve this booking, given that Todd Chrisley will absolutely out-queen him.

“It Smells Like Desperation.”

Hegseth’s unraveling. And we can all see it.

And so can our enemies.

A page out of ‘The Handmaid's Tale’: Ohio Republicans propose bill to track all pregnancies Author Margaret Atwood insisted her novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” was rooted in real history. Now, a new Ohio bill proposed by Republicans to track all pregnancies in the state is drawing disturbing parallels to her work of fiction. Georgetown law professor Michelle Goodwin warns if the legislation passes, there is a “very real potential and probability of criminal punishments and civil fines and various other horrors.”

Q & A w/Trump re Iran war:

Russians helping Iran?

"What a stupid question"

Gas prices?

"If they rise, they rise"

Deaths of our troops?

"That's the way it is"

Possible strikes in U.S.?

"I guess"

Strait of Hormuz?

"It will open itself"

Abolish ICE. Fund TSA.
We’re done with the chaos.

“A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by Post and Courier thru public records... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984.” @postandcourier.bsky.social

Citizens United, Explained The 2010 Supreme Court decision further tilted political influence toward wealthy donors and corporations.

For those who would like an explainer on Citizens United and what it has done, this is a good read.
Dark money and Super PACs come into play. This alone shows how bad a decision this was and needs to be overturned.

Congress can stop this madness any time they want to. This is on them.

Joshua Haymes & Brooks Potteiger (Pete Hegseth's pastor) pray imprecatory psalms against James Talarico: "I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ ... If it would not be within God's will to do so, stop him by any means necessary."

DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family. Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

Nate Cavanaugh has gone viral recently for his taped deposition about DOGE eliminating "DEI" grants.

He's also a key figure in our story from last year. We found that he helped expose a sensitive Afghanistan program, leading to a brutal Taliban crackdown.
