#TheRightFight
Republicans cheered taking away health care from over 17 million people.

They cheered giving huge tax breaks to a handful of billionaires & increasing the national debt by $3.5 trillion.

I’m angry. But we stay in the fight — not because it’s easy, but because it’s the right fight.

The most surprising thing in this article is that Trump/henchmen have not yet fired the Pentagon's Inspector General. I thought they were ridding themselves of watchdogs altogether.
Well… yeah.

Most of us talked about that at the time. Hegseth revealed time on target and a whole bunch of other information that could have gotten troops killed.
BREAKING: Pentagon watchdog finds Hegseth's use of Signal to share details of airstrike posed risk to U.S. personnel, AP sources say.

The Trumpster fire govt is saying the "oil" part outloud. Have heard it from several sources today. We knew that, right? Tell me you knew they were murdering Venezuelan civilians to get to the oil.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

So the next time anyone tells you Trump is murdering Venezuelan fisherman because he cares about stopping the flow of drugs and terrorists into America…

…kindly tell them to shove it.

I’m more worried about the lack of vetting for Trump cabinet members.

www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Counterterrorism officials vetted Guard shooting suspect before he entered U.S.
Individuals with knowledge of the process that Rahmanullah Lakanwal went through contradicted senior Trump officials’ claim that he was not scrutinized.

What will it take for all of you in the press corps to have each other's 6 in these attacks? Each of you should repeat legit questions and refuse to let it go. We have counted on all of you to have our 6, too. But the vast majority of you let us down every day.

Stephen Miller said the building was “filled with TdA terrorists.”

DOJ prosecutors have not filed criminal charges or shown evidence that anyone arrested in the raid belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang.

"I co-wrote Trump's first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-2018. He's not trying to stop "left wing" terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious."

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

“You know, everyone keeps writing these stories about how President Trump is only insulting female reporters by calling them piggy, ugly, stupid etc. But, it’s actually because the women are the ones asking all the tough questions. Give that a thought.”
