Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

It’s been obvious from the start that Hegseth compromised sensitive information in that Signal chat. Now we know he was sharing CLASSIFIED material — and lied through his teeth about it. He put American soldiers at risk. He should be fired.

Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told
The revelation contradicts the Trump administration’s long-standing claims that no classified information was shared by the defense secretary’s account during the “Signalgate” scandal.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Something is off here. There has been no confirmation the Secret Service was by her table when a man who sure sounds like a professional thief—or spy—took valuable, national security-implicating items from her. And there is no statement about who she was with. And she is rumored to be in an affair.
