Hegseth issued a 144-page book to the 600 troops attending his speech today, it's a compilation of some of his speeches. It includes a forward from Trump saying, "I will not ask you to fight dumb wars."

It should alarm us that the civilian head of the military gathers together troops to give them a political speech in which he calls the free press treasonous. He should be removed from office for doing so.

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez while he was making a food delivery. Now, he is being held at the South Texas Detention Complex with a bullet lodged in his body, forced to sleep on the floor with no pain medication. This is the reality of the Trump administration's brutality.

It's rather naïve to think of Kushner and Witkoff simply as buffoons, though they certainly are. Their objective in pursuing their "diplomatic" missions is always and entirely about themselves. They seek private payoffs in order to betray their country and its allies; it's as simple as that.
