📌NEWS: Pete Hegseth said that the Pentagon is eliminating 1 in 5 generals and admirals. 📌NOTE: Authoritarian regimes eliminate military leaders who they believe aren't loyal to the regime. 📌UPSHOT: This is a very concerning development in the GOP's ongoing attack on America and her Democracy.

US withdrawal from Iraq was scheduled a few years in advance. But with Iran hitting US bases there, and Iran-allied Iraqi militias launching drones at Saudi Arabia, the withdrawal looks—to everyone in the region, and the wider world—like the US under fire ceding more of the Middle East to Iran.

I have repeatedly said this. WE will not get to 2028 as a democracy unless THIS fascist Republican regime is stopped in the midterms. IT will become more entrenched AND more emboldened- if that is possible! Once a regime is entrenched it takes decades to remove it. Look no further than TX - 23 yrs.

The best part of the UN today were Carney, Macron, and Zelenskyy. Trump was a little clown sideshow to entertain the guests while actual leaders got actual work done in the background. A good first day for the UN general assembly. AI is probably going to get very regulated soon.

Waking up this morning to this update: 1,600+ drones into Russia. About 450 aimed at Moscow. A major refinery hit. Half of Russia’s top diesel refineries already cutting output. This isn’t just another drone story. It’s a new signal: the war is escalating, not slowing down.

The current Mid East crisis situation is a direct of an uninformed idiot who does not understand the geopolitical circumstances that rule the region. The idiot has destroyed the precarious balance that existed and now regional authorities are reshaping the structure - and relegating the US downward.

Trump has promised Americans a $5,000 DOGE Dividend, a $2,000 Tariff Rebate, a $1,500 Health Savings Rebate, and now a $5,000 Trump Dividend. None of it ever arrived. Every single promise came at a politically convenient moment. This one is no different. Don't fall for it.

Canadians took in Americans during the air traffic shutdown on 9/11. They sent teams to Ground Zero. They responded to America’s NATO Article 5 call. They’ve sent firefighting and rescue crews to the US during other emergencies. My country’s so-called “leader” is despicable. I am sorry, Canada. I ❤️🇨🇦
