The Army tried to hold a standard this week. Then Hegseth fired the guy running the Army and replaced him with the guy who used to carry his bags. #ratcclips

Pete Hegseth's broker tried to buy defense contractor stocks right before the Iran war kicked off. The trade failed. The ethics loophole didn't. rachelandthecity.com/pete-hegseths-broker-tri... #ratcclips
Israel just made the death penalty mandatory for Palestinians but optional for Jewish Israelis. Same crime, two legal systems. rachelandthecity.com/netanyahu-just-passed-a-... #ratcclips
The FBI director was subpoenaed in the same cases he's now firing people for. Three agents just filed a class action. rachelandthecity.com/kash-patel-is-being-sued... #ratcclips
Memphis held a massive No Kings march. It ended with pepper spray, three arrests, and a brand-new Tennessee law used to charge the people keeping marchers safe. The ACLU is now involved. #ratcclips
David Sacks spent a year writing White House AI policy. Now he's backing a $100M PAC to elect people who'll protect it. Total AI midterm spending: $300M. They already won 10 of 11 primaries. #ratcclips
Sanders and AOC want to freeze data center construction. But freezing supply in a supply crisis just hands Big Tech a monopoly. rachelandthecity.com/bernie-sanders-turned-an... #ratcclips
The Army will now take your 42-year-old knees and your weed conviction. It will not take your trans identity. The recruiting crisis Pete Hegseth helped create is being patched in real time. #ratcclips
Tennessee just advanced a bill that publishes trans patients' data online. No names required. County, diagnosis history, and prescription details - all public and downloadable. #ratcclips
The White House is bragging about "banger memes" while 13 troops are dead, gas is up a dollar, and Congress won't even vote to ask why. https://rachelandthecity.com/memes-and-body-bags/ #ratcclips
The Trump admin told courts the White House ballroom project belonged to an office courts can't review. Then they said it's the Park Service. The judge wasn't having it. https://rachelandthecity.com/the-alteration/ #ratcclips
Afroman wore a flag suit to federal court and beat seven deputies who sued him for making fun of their botched raid. The First Amendment still works. https://rachelandthecity.com/the-poundcake-verdict/ #ratcclips
The government loaned CBP a laser cannon to fight cartel drones on the border. They shot down party balloons, shut down El Paso's airport, then two weeks later lasered their own drone. https://rachelandthecity.com/party-foul-at-fort-bliss/ #ratcclips
The Pentagon asked for $200 billion today. The president's sons own $750 million in drone companies bidding on those contracts. Nobody blinks. rachelandthecity.com/the-war-is-a-product-lau... #ratcclips
Israel funded Hamas to undermine the PLO. Watched it become a monster. Leveled Gaza. Moved on to Lebanon. Now at war with Iran on Day 19. Ron Paul said it in 2009. The receipts were always there. #ratcclips
The U.S. fired every expert who modeled a Strait of Hormuz closure. Then the Strait of Hormuz closed. There is no punchline. This is just what happened. rachelandthecity.com/they-fired-the-war-gamer... #ratcclips
The SAVE Act was born as a political favor. Now it's threatening to disenfranchise 21 million Americans to stop a problem the Heritage Foundation could only find 100 examples of since the year 2000. https://rachelandthecity.com/the-fly-they-want-to-swat/ #ratcclips
Nvidia just announced it's building data centers in space. Also a trillion dollars in chip sales. Also self-driving cars. Also a robot Olaf. We live in the weirdest timeline. rachelandthecity.com/space-the-final-server-r... #ratcclips
Russia gave Iran intel to target U.S. bases. Americans died. Two weeks later we suspended sanctions on Russian oil. Make it make sense. https://rachelandthecity.com/the-sanctions-boomerang/ #ratcclips
A Lancet study found US sanctions killed 38 million people over 50 years. 51% were children under five. The success rate? 13%. rachelandthecity.com/the-quiet-war-how-americ... #ratcclips
A senator just walked out of a classified war briefing and said the plans are "incoherent and incomplete." Here's what's actually happening. https://rachelandthecity.com/no-plan-no-exit/ #ratcclips
The Alexander brothers were convicted of sex trafficking this week. Their industry called their behavior an "open secret." The jury called it guilty - 19 times in a row. rachelandthecity.com/the-alexander-brothers-w... #ratcclips
Cherry Picking: selecting only the evidence that supports your conclusion while ignoring everything that contradicts it. The data doesn't lie - but liars cherry pick data. #ratcclips #criticalthinking rachelandthecity.com/logical-fallacy-15-18-ch...
Anecdotal Evidence: "My uncle smoked and lived to 95." One story vs. millions of data points. Personal experience is not statistical evidence. #ratcclips #criticalthinking rachelandthecity.com/logical-fallacy-15-17-an...
Rubio built his career denouncing Maduro. Now he's testifying in a trial where his best friend lobbied for Maduro's government - and the WH chief of staff's role is under seal. rachelandthecity.com/the-florida-network-is-o... #ratcclips
The FBI told NYPD’s SVU to "stand down" five days after Epstein’s arrest. One month later, he was dead. NY still has four ways to go after his co-conspirators. rachelandthecity.com/new-york-had-everything-... #ratcclips
Hasty Generalization: drawing sweeping conclusions from tiny samples. "I met one rude New Yorker so all New Yorkers are rude." That's not logic - it's laziness. #ratcclips #criticalthinking rachelandthecity.com/logical-fallacy-15-16-ha...
$6.9M on lobster tail. $98K on a grand piano. A custom Japanese flute. All in one month at the Pentagon. Two months later, 42 million Americans lost their food stamps for the first time ever. rachelandthecity.com/the-spending-spree-is-th... #ratcclips
