Hegseth is giddy and proud to accept foreign payments to destroy American Democracy.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

This is the perfect way to funnel money from Qatar right into Hegseth's and Bondi's bank accounts.

Watching this film at this moment in history was a gut punch. New from me at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

Trump’s Abuses of Power Show We Didn’t Learn Much From the Nixon Era

That failure is implicit in nearly every frame of a new documentary about Katharine Graham.

But it's also racism. We didn't learn that Racists are some of the most disaffected motivated parts of the population. And even though the SPLC was warning us, the Christo-Fascists also racists were serious about installing a King. I am going to watch this, though.

Republican Senators, with an assist from Sen. John Fetterman, voted down an attempt to block the Trump administration’s missile strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats. interc.pt/4o9CBur

A photo of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., sits on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 1, 2025, in Washington, overlaid with the headline, "Fetterman Is Sole Democrat to Vote Against Blocking Caribbean Drug Boat Attacks," and the DEK, "It was the first time members of Congress were put on record about whether they supported or opposed the president’s war in the Caribbean."
