Breaking News: The White House threatened congressional Democrats, saying aggressive oversight of the Trump administration could be a crime, a threat that experts called legally dubious. nyti.ms/4iBTcHy

It’s a white supremacist militia at this point and needs to be torn down and abolished.
There is no ‘reforming’ this.
ICE agent who fatally shot an immigrant in Maine talked of foreign bloodlines, denounced noncitizens and more, according to emails

Wow, @PeteHegseth is disgraceful. Our fallen service-members deserve better.

O M G. He deserves a medal before Hegseth court martials him.

Tomorrow, Lina Attalah stands trial in Egypt–simply for being a journalist. She’s the editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, the country’s leading independent media outlet, which the Egyptian government ordered to shut down.
Egypt must immediately release Lina and all detained journalists.
The new Democratic majority in Congress must reassess why we are sending this authoritarian government $1.5 billion in U.S. tax dollars annually.

Things we used to know about Jim Jordan, just chosen to be minority leader, 1: He was deeply involved in the coup attempt.

Everyone committed to a free press should stand with @Linaattalah &@MadaMasr today as Lina returns to court to face false charges of spreading "false news." The Egyptian government must stop attacking our bravest journalists for their invaluable public service.
I want to express full solidarity with my friend @Linaattalah & @MadaMasr. Lina faces prison for her journalism & Mada is threatened with closure. I’ve known Lina for 19 years, since she mocked my attempt to translate Bourdeiusian practice theory into Arabic. She still mocks it😂

Again, nothing our enemies can do to us hurts as much as what Hegseth has done. Everyone around the world who wants America weak and laughable will hope Hegseth is not impeached and convicted.

The Rosstat leak is huge. There is so much in there, it is absolutely incredible. It will take weeks or months to fully analyze. But it will be worth it.
Prepare for impact.
Virginia Jeffries retweeted
Okay, let’s reason this out. Thinking caps 𝗢𝗡.
If Hegseth committed high crimes or misdemeanors, and if he did them at the behest of, or on behalf of, or in cahoots with, someone else, say, I don’t know … uh … let’s assume the president of the United States … that would mean .…
Gosh, I’m stumped. I know there’s a logical conclusion here that should be obvious, but it’s just escaping me.
Could it mean that someone else has committed impeachable, removable acts too??
If so, who would that be?? Just completely stumped. But I feel strongly there must be a clear answer.
Damn, this is almost as hard as the president’s cognitive tests.
Can anyone out there help? @Grok, do you know?
Virginia Jeffries retweeted
He can’t. The guy is a bootlicker. He probably has to pick Donald Trump’s shoe polish out of his teeth before speaks.
No Tab Pete is a war criminal and he deserves to be impeached and held accountable for his crimes and the pain he has caused our troops and military families.
Send this clown back to Fox News.

Here’s the full transcript of the reverse edit of the CBS 60 Minute interview. There’s NO PAYWALL so anyone can read it. CBS completely rearranged the interview. I just went through and pointed out what was cut and what wasn’t. substack.com/@decodingfoxnew…

Q: Hegseth called you a disgruntled, defeated congressman.
MASSIE: I'm being polite here. An impeachment is just firing somebody... When the Democrats get in charge, they are going to be very vicious.

Just arrived at The Hague. On Wednesday, me & American taxpayers will file a complaint at the ICC against Trump & Rubio for their complicity in genocide, with hundreds of pieces of evidence detailing that complicity.
Use our tax dollars to improve our country, not kill kids.

If someone is bombing your cities and burying your children under rubble and taking your journalists captive, tying them to boards and torturing them with electric shocks day after day you might not feel a lot of respect towards that person.

ARTICLE VI against Pete Hegseth: Suppressing Free Speech
Virginia Jeffries retweeted
The more Vance tries to distance himself from the war, the more Trump and Hegseth will pull him back in. He can't do it.
