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.

Rahm Emanuel represents the last vestiges of dying, corporate do-nothing foolishness. He’s not a Democrat. He’s a wealthy, status quo strongly-worded letter in a suit. Anyone who listens to him is digging their own political grave.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Yesterday, Pete Hegseth spent part of his “State of the Force” speech focused on culture wars. Then he announced a 20% cut to America’s top military leaders. That’s not a small change, and I have a lot of questions about how this could impact our national security.
