The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

very weird -- Newt Gingrich was on Hannity tonight, but Hannity didn't even mention the fact that Hegseth bizarrely included him today (along with Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey) as a co-leader of "Project Meridian" (whatever that is)

There was finally bipartisan momentum to help parents with childcare costs. Then Trump stepped in. @citizencohn.bsky.social explains how the admin’s proposal could take support from working parents to subsidize stay-at-home parents and reignite a culture war. lnk.thebulwark.com/3VZpkvC?utm_...

This is so odd. Is he asking states for proposals for the states to build military bases to "host" the troops? Did he spend the entire defense budget already so he needs states to build bases for the military? Do we need more bases?

Last year, a pastor saw masked immigration agents arresting someone at her church and filmed them. DHS denied they were there. A year later, DHS finally acknowledged the incident — days after WH border czar Tom Homan claimed "no one has been arrested at a church." religionnews.com/2026/09/30/t...

Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.

(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.
