This is one reason I am investing in $RCAT and $UMAC. The other reason is that Trump is funneling money to this contractor because Don Jr. is on the board and owns a lot of its stock

The Army’s Race to Catch Up in a World of Deadly Drones.
The U.S. military had believed that drones would keep troops out of harm's way. Instead they are making war deadlier for everyone.
My story on how the Army is reckoning with this new kind of war.

Really, the Pope telling Catholics that helping the powerless, the weak, the ostracized is divisive????

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 19h

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

If trump wants a coin, we can give him this one!

Just needs to have Trump's official motto: "In Jeffery Epstein I trust"

Ethan @grand-pa-etan.bsky.social · 18h

On October 3, U.S. Treasury unveiled a $1 coin featuring Trump, sparking an unprecedented legal uproar. This initiative violates the 1866 law prohibiting the depiction of living people on currency. But Trump is advocates this project for the 250th anniversary of independence.

It is really bad when the lady that says that "Jewish Space lasers are causing forest fires" is calling Grindr Mike Johnson out.

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

War Crimes!

I have been to Colombia many times. Always been welcomed and wanted, and I never felt my life was in danger. Now, I will worry about taking that boat ride to an island.

The DEA should be dealing with drug boats. Using our military to blow up a boat without Due Process is illegal.

Are we in an AI bubble? Follow the debt!

All bubbles are fueled by large sources of debt. NDFI (non-depository financial institutions) lending have soared!

NDFIs are unregulated loans that are the fastest-growing risks to our economy. Debt is concentrating in a handful of large institutions

NDFI Loans Are Far Larger Than We Thought

No wonder asset prices are booming as they are, and that the real economy is doing the opposite

This is complete insanity. We MUST clean house in 2026. We need a Congress who is willing to act & clear our Government of this crazy conspiracy theory, authoritarian regime.

No bailouts!
No subsidies!

Farmers are not poor, they are quite rich, and they do t deserve welfare.

They voted for inflation, tariffs, and a trade war. Let them eat what they sowed.

A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

When the Democrats take over in a year, they need censure Mike Johnson for this misconduct and abuse of power.

Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva needs to be sworn in. This shouldn't be tolerated and it needs to be punished.

ICE cowardly back away and spray the Dancing Frog with pepper spray!

I measured the frog’s dance intensity and found that ICE receded by at least 3 feet. The frog isn’t just dancing, it’s radiating good energy.

Are there really no state laws about law enforcement using force inappropriately?

The Mayor and Portland Police Department need to go up and arrest these thugs. ICE is not above the law, and they broke the law.

You are allowed to peaceful assembly under the constitution!

Small sample of where the country is at, yes it is a mayor's race in Alaska, but the fact that Democrat Mindy O’Neall won is impressive and very telling.

Looking over at old Twitter, they are trying to get "Repeal Obamacare" trending.

The amount of stupid MAGA that think kicking a bunch of people off of medical insurance will lower costs is insane.

In reality, their unconscious mind is angry that Obamacare wasn't Medicare-for-all.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

C-SPAN CALLER: What is your plan to fix Obamacare?

MIKE JOHNSON: Great question. There's a lot of improvement that's needed. Obamacare did not do what was promised. We gotta fix that. In the big beautiful bill we reformed Medicaid.

Thune is a fucking liar!

I remember before obamacare premiums were going up at 16% per year. That was fucking inflationary!

My mom could remember visiting the doctor and costing an hours worth of wages. Today, to see a doctor, expect a full day or two of work.

Thune can fuck his damn lies!
