The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East.
This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.
I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Epstein wanted to use Zorro Ranch as a “baby farm” to impregnate women & seed the human race w/his DNA. Elon Musk wants to boost the world’s population by breeding genetically superior offspring w/his DNA.
I track the similarities between these men pushing pro-natalism.

HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
It's great when kids express empathy. Even trade for one diaper change at least!

Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.
Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.
Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.
“The US military might use generative AI systems to rank lists of targets and make recommendations about which to strike first, which would then be vetted by humans, according to a Defense official with knowledge of the matter.”

A Russian owned a warehouse in Social Circle, GA that is a camp. The Trump Admin. paid him 10X more than it was worth. It’s been on the Atlanta News. Local news is usually honest. We should use the camps we paid 10X too much for to house MAGA. USA, USA, USA, Let’s Make America Great Again! Amen!
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Looking at Russia’s oilfields, they were developed in the 1960’s and there has been little done to upgrade them. The CEO of Gazprom Neft, Alexander Dyukov, reports that 60% of its operation to extract one ton of oil in Western Siberia requires 30 tons of water to be injected underground and 31 tons
