@deptofwar.bsky.social When you restrict the press you restrict the people. The press is the watchdog of government "For The People." Per the Constitution of the United States. Hegseth is rejecting the Constitution. In doing so he rejects his oath. #gop #maga #Iran #Israel
A judge accuses the Pentagon of “classical illegal First Amendment retaliation.” @byjacobward.bsky.social joins me at 10 a.m. EDT with his take on Anthropic, AI, and the risks it poses to Americans. #Velshi
The difference between a #NoKings protest and a #maga protest. I don't think the maga maniacs represent the people.
Our flag speaks to Donald Trump:
"Let go of me you gutless coward. When I called for your help you ran. You ran with "bone spurs" and sent five others in your place. Now you want me to stand by you as you attack and murder my citizens in the streets and start foreign wars. F**k You!" #NoKings #gop
Iranian oil will be more expensive in lives than Venezuelan oil. Imperialism kills.
“The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, as thousands of soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East…”
This is a bad idea.
But it it is to happen, it CERTAINLY shouldn’t happen without congressional authorization.
So: Congress?

Republicans are saying those in government must be loyal to Trump. That makes Trump a King. Loyalty to an individual is the last thing the Founding Fathers wanted. Read a book maga!
Truth is stranger than fiction. House on Haunted Hill is fiction.
Demons on Capitol Hill are real. #Svengoolie
Omar: There were hundreds of millions in oil futures traded just minutes before a reversal in US policy on Iran. This is corruption. At DHS, we got a reckless spending spree, planes, vanity projects. It's like a billionaire's midlife crisis, except the American people are paying for it.
These Republican members of Congress are goddamn traitors.
POV: you’re in Odesa tonight while Russia is attacking the city with Shahed drones⚠️loud explosion on 3, 2, 1
A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily.
But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos.
Pure incompetence.
WATCH: Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff told the Secretary of the Army that Trump “would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events,” according to the New York Times. April Ryan and Kyle Bibby join to discuss.
How many times can we “obliterate “ Iran’s nuclear capabilities? How many years will Iran be “weeks away” from attacking the U.S.? How many wars can Netanyahu get us into? How many centuries will countries continue fighting religious wars? How many trillions must be spent to feed the military industrial complex? How many innocent men, women and children must be killed and displaced from their homes? END THIS WAR NOW
WHY ARE WE IN IRAN?
America elected a narcissistic emotionally immature reality TV host as President. His cabinet is made up of incompetent Fox News demagogues. An organization that was successfully sued for 3/4 of a billion dollars for lying. And people are wondering why America is screwed up? #war #Iran #Israel
FFS Trump is responsible for murders across the globe. Trump is responsible for rapes. Trump is responsible for paedophilia. Trump is responsible for massive frauds in the US and outside the US. Trump is responsible for war crimes.
BUT THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE CRIMES HE HAS COMMITTED.
"Trump needs to be removed from office before he can inflict even more damage than he already has. But he doesn’t just need to be stopped; for America to have a future he also needs to be repudiated." great essay by @cathygellis.bsky.social 👇
The gender pay gap has widened for the second year in a row.
And Trump & Republicans’ anti-women agenda are only deepening the harm.
This #EqualPayDay, I'm fighting for policies like the ERA to close the pay gap, advance opportunity & build a just economy that works for all.
Democrats should stop following rules that their opponents have burned to a crisp.
What MAGA cultists think:
We don't care if gas costs more.
We don't care if kids get raped.
We don't care if pols take bribes.
We don't care if masked thugs kill people in the streets.
We just know Trump makes us feel superior to black and brown people. And that's why he's our lord and savior.
When political cultism merges with religious cultism the world is in trouble. Per history. In America Christian Nationalism has merged with Maga. America and the world are in trouble. #Israel #Iran #war #maga #gop
1. Dyslexia isn't a "mental disability." STFU
2. The loon with mental deficiencies is speaking this sentence.
About Trump's mind, or the lack of it. The press should be interviewing psychologists and historians. Historians can draw parallels to other people and movements in history that tell us where we are going with Trump. Psychologists are not governed by the Goldwater rule, Psychiatrists are. #maga #gop
The best phrase I’ve heard all week: if Russia didn’t wanna get defeated, they shouldn’t have started a war. I agree , Russia s*ck, thanks for your attention
Republicans want to fund an organization that openly murders & beats American citizens on the streets. The Democrats are willing to fund that organization, provided there are protections put in to help prevent the murders & hold people accountable. I don't think that's too much to ask. #maga #gop
extreme demands like, for example, not having a dictator or being terrorized by his secret police
“I guess.” Nobody believes a single word Trump says.
Except people dumb enough to vote for that lying rat bastard.
Russia has established a transnational network to recruit, train and deploy spies and saboteurs across Europe.
Here’s what court cases in Moldova reveal about how it operates 👇
