does anyone think he wouldn't nuke an American city if he could?

The next president needs to send bulldozers out at midnight on January 20 to take out the arch like Mayor Daley took out Meigs airfield in Chicago.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

This is such a sick, evil thing to say. Especially because he’s not saying this as a joke. Just as sick that his supporters are laughing at it

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I have no doubt that if Trump COULD nuke my city, he would. If he could get Netanyau or Putin to do, he probably would. And Republicans in the Senate facilitate this as does the corrupt Roberts court.

Trump announced South Korea would invest about $54 billion in an Alaska gas project. South Korean officials promptly said the investment has NOT been finalized. Nothing ruins a victory lap like the other party checking the contract. #AlaskaLNG

He’s obviously removing all anti-trump leaders ahead of a ‘national emergency’ so they can halt elections and seize permanent control.

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

Trump is intent on sacking Washington before he is done; I expect a lot more damage if he loses the mid-terms in spite of doing his best to restrict voting. I hope if we have a Democratic president in 28, that on the night of January 20 he sends in the bulldozers to the arch Mayor Daley style.

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it. Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.

He is a lifelong business failure with a real talent for sticking his investors with the bills and creaming off the cash. He is doing the same thing to the US, sinking us into debt while he fills his pockets. GOP will later claim we can't afford to do nice things for Americans. Not unpredictable.

Gloria Steinem, trailblazing journalist and activist, dies at 92
At a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom.
