After installing a makeup studio at the Pentagon, ‘tough guy’, Whiskey Pete Kegseth decided he needed a little more help looking masculine so he got some Botox shot into his big ‘manly’ head.
Word is he’s quite full of himself even though he can’t even do one pull up.

Gutless red-state governors are bending over backwards to do Trump’s bidding – and they’re taking down democracy with them.

There was a mass shooting in South Carolina last night and all we get from the GOP is thoughts and prayers.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Angry elf reveals who is truly behind the cruel immigration enforcement. Will Trump care that Miller is openly taking credit for it? Or is his dementia that far gone?

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

I have yet to see this supposed #DutyToDisobey expectation from the military be carried out. They’ve so far obeyed illegal occupation orders into LA, Portland & Chicago & illegal murder orders in the Caribbean.
It’s clear the military follows illegal orders.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Beijing will block exports containing even trace amounts of Chinese rare earths essential to U.S. manufacturers

Those materials are key components in production of everything from electrical vehicles, medical scanning equipment,
U.S. defense munitions, precision weaponry to military night vision

Trump’s 100% tariff threat sparks defiance from Beijing

Beijing defends its new rare earth export curbs and warns its readying “corresponding measures” to counter any new U.S. tariffs.

Right now, Newsom, Pritzker, etc., aren’t fighting to be anything but a candidate you can vote for or against in a future election.

Right now, it’s about getting to future elections.

The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

i want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question: it's been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better? have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier? has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?

Odd how the orange and all his appointments as well as the other guardians of the pedo never seem to know ANY of the top stories.
They know nothing about what’s going on in America. 🧵

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."
