He made a political speech as an active duty officer. Even though that doesn't mean he had to pay such a hefty price, he knew-at this time, with this administration, he would. But solitary confinement is neither necessary nor appropriate #StandWithMajorWatson

Trump and Hegseth still haven't admitted that the US military massacred 120 Iranian schoolgirls and 26 teachers in a missile strike at the start of the war. At one point, Trump claimed Iran blew up its own school despite overwhelming evidence that the US did it. Lying murderers run our government.

Zelensky is a far better defender of constitutional democracy than Trump, and would make a much better President of the United States than the current occupant.

This is stunning. Since Trump took office, households in the top 0.1% have added an average of $9.6 million in net worth. The ultrawealthy gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom half of the country.

2026 United States intervention in Venezuela - Wikiwand
On 3 January 2026, the United States launched a military strike in Venezuela and captured incumbent Venezuelan president NicolĂĄs Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The US operation, codenamed Operation Absolute Resolve, began around 2 a.m. local time, when explosions were observed. The US Armed Forces bombed infrastructure across northern Venezuela to suppress air defenses as an apprehension force attacked Maduro's compound in Caracas. Approximately 80 people, including Venezuelan and Cuban military and civilians, died and seven American soldiers were wounded. Maduro and Flores were transported to New York City by US forces and were indicted on drug trafficking charges to which Maduro and Flores pleaded not guilty.

In response to this, the DeSantis administration releases a statement saying that they'd make this outrageous cage "even smaller if we could." The Department of Homeland Security's own Inspector General said it violated every detention standard and posed a significant danger to health and safety.
"At least ten million illegal aliens entered our country under the Biden administration. Florida decided to do something about it," Lanfranconi said. "The left-wing media wants to focus on a confinement area for violent criminal aliens who have proven they cannot remain peaceful while awaiting deportation. While it adheres to all federal standards for criminal confinement, we'd make it even smaller if we could."
