Former GOP. Despise Trump & MAGA. Here to support democracy, post some cool pics, and hang with sane folks. The photos do not belong to me. I always cite the photographer after ©️, lest unknown. DM = Block. I cannot like or repost nudes or porn.

Pete Hegseth’s Troubled Soul The defense secretary appears unable to approach matters of of life and death with even the slightest bit of reverence or humility.

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon briefings since the war against Iran began “have reminded the world why he is exactly the wrong person to hold the position he does,” Peter Wehner argues:

AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

He’s not fucking around. He 100% will do anything to steal the midterms along with the 2028 election, where he FULY intends on running for a 3rd term. This man is terrifying.

Knives Out for the ICE Queen Senate Republicans might be ready to dump the DHS secretary.

"Americans don’t like what DHS has been up to, full stop. Democrats should aim a lot higher than just getting a scalp from Noem."

But, you know, a good start.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.

Shameful.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

I have absolutely no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish in Iran, or how he plans to accomplish it, and the fun thing is that neither does he!

That's why the constitution does not give the President the authority to launch wars without Congressional approval.
