I want our democracy back. It was my honor to be a public servant for 35 years... from the Statue of Liberty, to Africa, to addressing air pollution from mobile sources and now time to fight to restore our country's goodness.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

NEW: Admiral Frank Bradley arrives on Capitol Hill for a classified briefing on the “double tap” boat strike, where US forces hit a target once, then hit survivors and vessels again as they tried to flee.

He’s the one Trump and Hegseth are trying to throw under the bus to save their own asses.

Major Issue:

1) What targets did OLC bless as lawful in this make-believe armed conflict? Per some reports it was drugs not passengers.

2) Is DoD actually attacking the targets blessed by the OLC permission slip?
If DoD is attacking people, but OLC only okayed the drugs, that's a problem...

Putin is actually citing the fact that Russia signed, and then violated, through serial invasions, agreements with Ukraine as evidence of his commitment to "peace."
Putin to India Today:

Let me remind you,we were not the ones to start this war.The West egged Ukraine on &supported the events, orchestrated the coup d'etat.We've tried to resolve these issues peacefully for 8yrs,signed the Minsk agreements,hoping that they could be resolved through peaceful means

Trump says affordability is a “Democrat scam.” Bold words from a billionaire who’s never bought his own groceries. The reality check he needs? His economy is crushing working families. Affordability isn’t a scam — Trump is.
Thanks Rep Jimmy Gomez!

I can’t even imagine the degree of stupidity doing something like this entails.

Or what would’ve rightly happened to any of us working in a sane government after doing such a thing.

NEW: The IG report on SignalGate is out. Hegseth sent classified information out on an unclassified Signal chat and put our troops in harms way. Hegseth says he retroactively "declassified" it so it doesn't count. You can read the findings here: media.defense.gov/2025/Dec/04/...

Well, there's no documentation of declassification at the time he sent the info that was marked SECRET, so it seems to me its retroactive. He does have classification authority, though. So he can - technically - send whatever he wants to whomever he wants and just say he declassified it.

Wonder if any questions would have been asked if he’d done it in like May.
whether hegseth gets away with it remains to be seen but it is interesting to see that he thought trump handed him a license to murder with this job, no questions asked, and now questions are definitely being asked.
