This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

The inability to afford things you used to be able to afford for the same amount of money is a Democratic scam...
No, my man. It's called "inflation."
And your tariffs are the leading cause of it.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.
Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

How much longer are we going to put up with this Heroin addict, Shitstain who's killing what's left of America's healthcare 😡
Kennedy is now using his post as the highest-ranking US health official to spread the claim that psychiatric drugs are a key cause of mass shootings at the nation’s schools and beyond.
RFK Jr. blames pills—not guns—for school shootings
There is no credible evidence that antidepressants cause violence, but the health secretary now vows a “massive” effort to prove the failed theory.

Right now, the trump regime is a sick, caged animal, but as Heather Cox Richardson points out, it's a regime that is collapsing on itself.
Expect increased violence, inhumane behavior, and more blatant corruption. Use it to motivate you.
