We’re building a training facility at an existing air base in Idaho so Qatari pilots can learn to fly the F-15 jets they bought from us.

OK, Pete Hegseth’s an idiot. He left out the word “training” when he said we’re building a Qatari Air Force facility. So I get why people were confused after his announcement yesterday, but I keep seeing folks repeat some version of “Qatar is building an airbase in Idaho.”

That’s not happening.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Under Kristi Noem's leadership, ICE is now shooting dogs.

Which means ICE will probably soon be sleeping with Corey Lewandowski, too.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Don’t you love the way Trump can post violent AI videos of people attacking Joe Biden or Democrats and Republicans are fine with it. But if a Democrat has a private text message in which he says something similar, all hell breaks loose.

Democrats, don’t fall for it.

Once again Hogsbreath is clueless. The story I’ve been seeing is Qatar bought a bunch of F-16 from the Trump admin The US will host a bunch of their pilots at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho to train. They will be housed in a separate facility for the duration. I’m wondering why they need to lie

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

22. IOW, Miller is lying to get you (and “low-info voters”) to give up. Surrender is strategically important. Without it, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They lie in the belief that you will believe them, and in doing so, defeat yourself.

But they can’t conquer you if you don’t.
