Pete Hegseth is a psychopath and a disgrace. Its unfathomable that he's still in power. I don't even know what to say anymore. Whenever I think that the moral rot has fully metastasized a new mutation is discovered. We're a sick society, getting sicker by the hour. I'm ashamed to be an American.

50 percent tariffs for our beloved neighbor and historic ally, Canada. A red carpet and a military flyover for Communist China’s leader. Donald Trump is a sick man and a danger to America.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

So to review: Oil > $100 a barrel, ~30% increase at pump. Mortgages >6%. We replaced one Supreme Leader with his more hardline son, whose whole family we killed. We murdered ~160 girls. Everybody in world but Bibi is pissed at us. Spent more in 1 week on war than USAID costed for 6 months.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
V. CONCLUSION
An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A
masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to
challenge his conduct.
A regime of secret policing has no place in our society. Here, the Government’s power is
derived by the People, and the People must be able to identify the Government when it acts to
infringe on their liberty. Masks obscure government action and deprive the public of its Fourth
Amendment protections.
Therefore, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, [ECF No. 26], is GRANTED. Petitioner
is ORDERED released immediately from civil immigration custody. Respondents are
PROHIBITED from re-arresting and detaining Petitioner absent significant change in
circumstances to justify detention or subject to the determination of a neutral and detached
decisionmaker.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!
Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it?
Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge?
How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account?
Who are those people?
Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else?
How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump?
Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct?
If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously?
What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post?
Has the staffer been disciplined in any way?
Will the staffer continue to have access to his account?
What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account?
Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it?
How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post?
The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability?
What does it say about the President's honesty?
What does it say about the President's credibility?
Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something  widely seen as indefensible?
What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it?
Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime. I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller. A thread: bsky.app/profile/simo...

The stock markets have lost more than $6 trillion in value since Trump imposed sweeping tariffs last week. But on Sunday the president won — at golf.
