In 2019, Hegseth proudly told his Fox News co-hosts that he had not washed his hands in 10 years because "germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they are not real."
If he can’t see the flu virus, why bother getting vaccinated?🙄
After spending last week passing a resolution congratulating themselves, House Republicans are back in DC this week to debate yet another self-congratulatory resolution.
Michigan AG Dana Nessel just rejected a DOJ demand to turn over 2024 election records.
Nessel responded, calling Team Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud “baseless” and warning the state stands “ready to defend against these claims and any attempt to interfere in Michigan’s elections.”
WATCH: “This is a power grab. That’s all this is.”
@votebo.com rips Johnny Garrett & state Republicans for attempting to seize control of Tennessee airport authorities — and says he is not Johnny’s friend
Doesn’t sound like the congressional hopeful will be missed when he’s gone😢
“Some Trump officials privately acknowledged to CNN that the president’s public commentary has been detrimental to talks, noting the sensitivity of the negotiations and the Iranians’ deep mistrust of the US.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh if he has investments tied to the Trump family. He won't answer directly.
Trump's budget slashes food benefits for new moms and babies to pay for his war with Iran.
Don't let them lie to you.
Michelle Bachelet made an important point today: the rules-based order is not world government, but reliable assurance. In that, dialogue remains essential to multilateralism.
I’m at the hearings for the four UNSG candidates. In her opening statement alone, Michelle Bachelet spoke to the challenges facing the world in a way that was both direct and compassionate, presenting a vision of the United Nations as a home for dialogue.
The full write-up will be sent out tonight.

The Virginia vote is the latest chapter of a rare mid-decade cartographic arms race that Texas Republicans started last year when they drew a map intended to yield five more Republican seats. Virginia Voting Today on Map That Could Hand 4 House Seats to Democrats www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...
Killings like this have kept me up at night for almost two decades now, since I became a mom of sons.
In Guilford NH on 1/1/2023 police shot and killed Mischa Pataski-Fay in his home two minutes after responding to a MH crisis call. They knew him and his family from prior MH calls.
Future fed chair answers legit questions by smart-assing.
Why assume the Fed Chair nominee is a coward—as in wants to do the right thing but is just too scared of the consequences—when he perpetuates lies about the 2020 election? Isn’t the more straightforward explanation that he’s into it, and will therefore aid the anti-Constitution project when asked?
On crucial question of independence @warren.senate.gov just grilled Trump Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh on basics.
Could he stand up to Trump? Could he straight up say Trump lost 2020 election?
No. BS instead.
Could he name ONE element of Trump's economic policy he disagreed with?
No. More BS.

Trump's infamous line, "Let me get my shoes", delivered with all the aplomb of a Shakespearean actor, is a bit of a giveaway.
The one who actually did take the fatal bullet that day, Corey Comperatore of Sarver, PA. didn't have that luxury of time ...

"She has not reached for the pieces that are politically contested. She has reached for the backstop. The one piece that was supposed to remain untouchable forever.
And she touched it. And…the coalition did not eject her.
That is the signal." 🎯

Tweet from Pete Hegseth: "The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately."
In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.
The thing about that Washington painting behind him:
“Washington wanted to make sure that his troops were not affected by disease, and he believed that inoculation would help with that. So, just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers.”

Amazing creatures!
Like so much else Trump has done, he’s turned what was once a great department into a fucking mess. And it frankly breaks my heart.
