Hey Pete Kegseth.
If you are so concerned about security at the Pentagon, how about stop using Signal and act like a real grown up Secretary of DEFENSE. Free pressis the foundation of this country. You are not.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

So frustrated with the news in general. Tired of hearing Republican lies. Sick of the nmes over and over. Trump. Miller. Bondi. Kennedy. Patel. Holman. Vance.
So I treated myself to a lil Warren Zevon. Repubs are still deranged yet it elevated my mood. Try it.
Werevolves of London.
You will laugh.

Yes. See, media? That’s all you need to do, and what we, the people, have been asking you to do. Don’t use the right media’s performative in your face, angry, accusatory approach. Just ask the question, refocus when it isn’t answered, have clean-up available for when the buttholes who have been

The level of panic this question elicited by George Steph. with JD Vance tells everything.
Ask more often.
Press harder.
Keep cutting off lies and side stepping the question.
Make. Them. Sweat.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

If the Middle East loves Trump so much, they can have him.
We could make a helluva deal.

Political geek 💙💙💙💙💔 🇺🇦 @politicalgeek.bsky.social · 2d

Because there is no possible reasonable excuse for the delay. Johnson is a liar.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 2d

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?

He can easily prove it. trib.al/pEfcNkA

Treason.
The selling of America.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Looks like pseudo-prosecutor Lindsey Halligan will be indicting Norway next.

And the smug lazy asses are still on "vacation" while the country sinks to new depths. Mike Johnson is completely impotent. And useless.

Rep. Mike Thompson @mikethompson.house.gov · 7d

You can't make this stuff up. Congressional Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the Republican leadership has no plan to address health insurance premiums. Their own members are turning against them while Democrats are fighting to lower healthcare premiums.

Barbie Bondi.
She will no doubt thank her managers, parents, 3rd grade teacher and God for her good fortune.
Oh and of course, Trump.

Here's a thought.
Let's stop pretending Chuckies Judiciary is holding hearings. We can skip all that and just offer televised grandstanding speeches by GOP Senators.
Pathetic.

GOP has scripted questions that allow no actual questions, but offers a wide platform for GOP senators to grandstand. She is wildly incompetent and should never have been confirmed.
If you are watching the drama that has replaced Judiciary Comm under grandpa Grassley, nominate them for an Oscar.

Political geek 💙💙💙💙💔 🇺🇦 @politicalgeek.bsky.social · 8d

This Senate Judiciary "hearing" is comical. Bondi doesnt have to respond to questions about partisan nature if her DOJ. It's on full display with every snark, every psedo page shuffle, redirection of answers, wise ass refocus to years-ago issues, disrespectful dressing down of dems.

@maya4rights.bsky.social was exactly right tonight (as usual) and made important points. Trump is directing violence against innocent civilians-in blowing up ships in intrnatl waters and here at home with strongman muscle like in Chicago apt raid. He calls it war.
So why aren't these war crimes?

DO SOMETHING to protect our democratic Republic NOW or forever be known as the cowards who destroyed a really wonderful country.
You will all rot after answering to whatever conservative god you respect, if there is one.
You likely consider yourselves the only gods.

Chicago raid is clear evidence that this administration is runaway with power and completely out of control.
We have a Constitution.
We have laws.
Impotent Republicans, and conservative SCOTUS--looking at you esp Clarence and Sam with your 2025 wives who cut you off if you don't comply.
