The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Is it just me, or does Hegseth seem to derive sick, twisted pleasure from blowing people up? How often does he watch these videos? Who does he watch them with?

Remember when Trump blamed Biden and Zelensky when he realized how fast he was burning through interceptor missiles? Brace yourselves: He was lying to hide his own failure.

“When you think about it, we weren’t trying to make history or trying to rewrite history. We were responding to the problems of the particular time.”

What a life! Rest in power.

If you are a Costco customer, Trump stole your money and won’t give it back.

A budget is a moral document.

Pete Hegseth: Come for the bigoted White Supremacy, stay for the unconstitutional Christian Nationalism. Glory!

Considering what happened to Cricket for being impossible to train, Donald let Kristie Noem off lightly.

Marco Rubio: “Let me explain to you guys, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Have you met Trump’s personal spiritual adviser, Paula White?

Foolish chatterbox Pete Hegseth threatens Iran with an interminable war that will cost the United States trillions of dollars and countless lives.

Yeah, that'll show 'em, Pete!

In 25-Country Survey, Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad Across 25 countries, Americans are the most likely to see the morality and ethics of people in their country as somewhat or very bad.

A Pew Research poll of 20 countries asked if residents thought their fellow citizens had bad ethics & morality. Only Americans were more likely to think that.

Dems have all voted no against candidates and it hasn’t changed the outcome nor does it stop people for trashing them because they’re not delivering a vibe. If you want real, meaningful change and a real, meaningful fight against fascism, vote more Dems into Congress. Period.

ICE and CBP killed two American citizens and caused the deaths of immigrants who did nothing wrong.

Yet, Republicans refuse to rein them in.

I voted NO on this bill to fund DHS because Congress shouldn’t give these lawless agencies a blind eye or a blank check.

I've been thinking so much about Ireland during the ICE siege here in Minnesota and David, as always, puts on paper what for me was just a sort of inchoate blob of feelings. Terrific piece.

Scientists discovered a caterpillar that murders insects and stitches their dismembered body parts onto its back as armor

You’re welcome. Happy day! 😆

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Markwayne Mullin is an incompetent. Not because he doesn't have a bachelor's degree; because he does not have common sense, ethics, morals & and the instinct of a duck to come in out of the rain.

I’d give a pass to all who voted for Rubio, simply because he was far more qualified than the other nominees. Voting against everyone would have given Trump another talking point without changing the results.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

For once, an issue has bipartisan support: body cameras in Tennessee prisons. Someone opposes it: the department of corrections.
Why?
They said it will cost millions. But CoreCivic has offered to pay. (and estimates the cost of the pilot $350k).

The Tennessee GOP leadership is clearly working AGAINST the interests of Tennessee citizens!

At AG's request, GOP leaders back bill to block challenges of new laws Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, whose office is responsible for defending new laws in court, is behind the bill aimed at making challenges harder.

With Republican lawmakers upset over certain legal challenges to state laws/actions, GOP leadership is pushing a bill that makes it harder for residents to challenge unconstitutional legislative actions. From @evanmealins.bsky.social & @vivianejones.bsky.social: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Parole board recommends exonerating man convicted of Madison murder The board's recommendation now goes to Gov. Bill Lee.

It was a big day for the army of Thomas Clardy's supporters. This afternoon, the board of parole recommended Gov. Lee grant Clardy an exoneration. If you don't remember Clardy: In 2023, his 2007 murder conviction was overturned. Last January, it was reinstated and he had to go back.

Tr*mp didn’t fire Kristi Noem because she had 100 people killed in a flood. Not because Americans were murdered by ICE. Not fot arresting legal permanent residents and US citizens. Not for keeping children in fetid, rancid concentration camps.

Tr*mp fired her because she made him “look bad.”

Trump and his hateful, corrupt, unqualified Cabinet are the problem.

Once again, I voted NO on Republicans' blank check for DHS. The funding bill includes ZERO accountability measures to reign in ICE and CBP’s lawlessness, it’s unacceptable.

Communities are being terrorized, and people are dying, but Republicans refuse to put forth a serious proposal.
