Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

Speaking of "hate America," this guy and his GOP colleagues are smirking about rejecting the will of the American people. The Americans of Arizona's 7th district chose to send Grijalva to Congress but the GOP hates the majority of Americans and refuse to let them have any say in government.
KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right?
MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.
