Alarming — 🇺🇸 Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social denied access to military facilities in the Middle East: “Unprecedented. Hegseth is trying to cover up the extent of the damage from a war spiraling out of control. This should be unacceptable to everybody, Republican or Democrat.”

<Spoiler Alert> Just me or does anybody else feel like this is “Digger” with a different crisis and Putin as the main character destroying the world via bioterrorism? Covid-19 will have been a picnic in comparison.

Am I the only one thinking we’re funding bio terrorism to help Russia destroy a country they invaded & bonus is it won’t be contained & will go worldwide making Covid-19 look like a picnic in comparison? I agree w/Alison & was thinking the same thing: Projection. Every accusation is a confession.

Bonus: He’s grifting by selling meetings (~$1,300) to pay off his first grift he got in trouble for. To be fair Trump isn’t about governing and is only about grifting and Mr. “I killed a man when I was 7” is the same.
