Yesterday, Hegseth said: "I hope you’ve seen recently we’ve increased troop pay yet again… combat pay—almost doubled it… QUALITY OF LIFE IS FRONT AND CENTER FOR US.” I'll believe this when I see it.

The few Republicans who push back on Trump's agenda have better hindsight than foresight. Tillis is the same senator who voted to confirm Pete Hegseth.

Nancy Mace will be gone from Congress in 102 days, but she continues to spread her crazy nonsense. Vote for the OTHER Nancy to replace her in Congress: Nancy Lacore. Hegseth fired her after serving 35 years in the Navy. @nancylacore.bsky.social

Transphobic and testosterone-obsessed Pete Hegseth has used the "Training not Tranies" line in multiple speeches over the past 6 months. He's a disgusting human.

The Maga Cult feels very threatened by Rep. Ilhan Omar. As they should. Her new bill aims to redirect over $100 billion in funds into communities that have been impacted by DHS/ICE.

Another change to the FBI agent application. As of August 17, 2026, "applicants up to the age 38 at the time of application without veteran's preference may be eligible for an age-limit waiver."

This isn't a one-off dispute, it's a stated program — and it's already been tried and lost. Check the AP case, Trump cannot ban outlets based on coverage he doesn’t like.   Freedom of press is core to our democracy, and our democracy must survive this self absorbed President.

Kushner and Witkoff are presenting themselves to the world as "diplomats" or independent mediators in the Russia/Ukraine war. The reality is that they have skin in the game, much like Trump. You don't need to be a foreign policy expert to see that. (1/2)
