Hegseth: “Theocratic regimes should never have access to nuclear weapons. Trump recognises that.” The man who last week was manifesting the Christian god in the Pentagon and calling for a crusade.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott couldn’t find the time to campaign with Trump at the rally in his state tonight. Must be a busy guy.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

Pay attention. An ambassador nominee needs $100,000. Not a loan…a WIRE. Not to her…to AmEx. “It won't show up anywhere." "Please." That's what Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly texted a Trump donor on Signal, per the WSJ. She wasn't hiding a debt. She was hiding the paper trail. Ask yourself why

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The grammatical 'colon' and the anatomical 'colon' are not etymologically related. The anatomical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kolon’ which means “large intestine.” The grammatical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kōlon’ which means “limb.” Both are a means to an end.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Russia says there was no lab accident and the situation is stable. Maybe. But when someone working at a plague research facility suddenly dies from mysterious pneumonia, possibly plague, and hospitals start locking down, “trust us, bro” isn’t going to cut it.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

About 10, 15 years ago these people started the “was Hitler really so bad? Hitler only wanted what was best for the Germans, what’s wrong with that!?” talking point and I knew I would live to see it become the mainstream GOP position. The end of living memory of WWII is going to be ruinous.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

All Republicans have to offer voters in the midterms is failure, lies, corruption, cover ups, fear mongering, name calling, enrichment of oligarchs, christian nationalism, racism, data centers everywhere, flock cameras, higher prices, new wars and fake bribes. Hell of a platform.

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

Imagine being Eric Schmitt and writing "I DON'T CARE!" on a notepad referring to the Epstein files, and then attempting to go nuclear over an Atlanta Hawks game where you accomplish nothing more than outing Jack Smith as a Caitlin Clark fan. We are in the dumbest timeline.
