Just going to say: maybe the experts are experts because they have expertise that makes them experts on things?

Not saying any expert bats close to 1.000. But I am saying expertise is real, and maybe policy by Fox News pompadours, proud dog killers, and Real World Boston alums is a bad idea.

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s β€œthe right of the people,” not of citizens.

We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

Pete Hegseth Halted US Efforts to Limit Civilian Deaths Ahead of Iran War People who were tracking civilian casualties have been reassigned to other jobs, says journalist Akbar Shahid Ahmed.

The Trump administration has reassigned people within the Pentagon who were tracking civilian casualties to other jobs. Other teams in charge of assessing whether a strike is proportionate or legal are also no longer in place, putting civilians and U.S. service members at greater risk.

Correct and correct! I thought they were solid quality - didn’t know there was a cheap connotation, but then again DSW isn’t exactly known for fancy lol

The US has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world. That's the country's elections crisis. But the GOP correctly understands that the more US citizens who vote, the worse things will be for the GOP.

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made β€œlethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Did the bombing of the girls' school at Minab flow directly from Hegseth's obsession with "lethality"? There's very good reason to believe that. And it furnishes another reason for his removal, as well as further disciplinary action against him.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

3.4 million fewer Canadians crossed into NY last year.

I served as a Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Rep at the White House. I know how much #NY21 depends on Canada.

We're the ones who take the hit from bad trade deals while billionaires barely notice.

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she β€œcleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

We do! We want more funding for good things and we want that $ to come from the Nypd budget or from taxing the rich.
