This is unconscionable. Where are the members of Congress speaking about this? Esp the ones who call themselves Christian (yeah, I mean Speaker Mike Johnson). Does the media even ask about it?

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

Then came the purges. And the news keeps coming.
On Sunday night, The New York Times reported that Hegseth shared details about the Yemen strike in another Signal chat that included his wife and brother.

Alito: The Supreme Court. made a horrible mistake. Technically, the law does say rights and due process, but that results in less of the overt cruelty I was enjoying on my television, which means the Court should’ve found delays and loopholes for the govt to deny those rights in practice. I dissent.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Today, Trump delayed his Temper Tariffs because the American people couldn’t stomach them. Just now, House Republicans pulled a vote on their bill to cut Medicaid & give tax breaks to the rich for the same reason. Republicans are in disarray & are leading the country astray.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky
