Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.

In Stalin's Russia the rule was “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!" In Trump's cabinet, the rule is to wear the oversized, wrong-sized shoes Trump picked out for you. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...

Who will be the first to take off their shoes?
Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Every once in a while I have to make a PSA as a lawyer when I see someone post something unwise: Social media is absolutely being monitored— for political influencer and activist and media accounts particularly. Be mindful. Don’t post things you wouldn’t want read against you in a court of law.

Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Odd, how the “worst of the worst” are never committing crimes or lounging in drug dens, but are instead taking their kids to school or showing up for immigration hearings. It’s *almost* as if the Trump administration perpetually lies about EVERYTHING.

I very rarely have an “all hope is lost” moment, but the number of people taking seriously a fake, photoshopped Mamdani tweet purportedly celebrating the explosion of the Challenger shuttle (1986), when Mamdani was born in 1991 and Twitter didn’t launch until 2006, has done it.

News: NPR’s Tom Bowman reports of a Pentagon-wide warning about Signal’s security vulnerability - one week ago 👇🏼
REPORTABLE:  NPR’s Tom Bowman has learned that a Pentagon-wide email went out one week ago warning about the vulnerability of using the messaging app Signal.  "A vulnerability has been identified in the Signal messenger application," the email begins. The app is the same one used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other leading national security officials within the administration to discuss bombing Houthi sites in Yemen – journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to the group and privy to the highly sensitive discussions.
