It's a bad video, but the audio is perfectly fine, and the message is more important than the man saying it. This is the way. This, was my military.

I don't recognize my Air Force, anymore

Never have all of our Generals from all branches of the military been called together like this - what's the plan, Pete? This is NOT normal or safe.

Protecting pedophiles is more important than paying our military. Got it.

Republicans won’t show up to vote on paying our troops during the shutdown because avoiding a vote on the Epstein files to protect Trump and his friends is more important.

From Meidastouch: It's reported by the White House that the Convicted FElon is going to Walter Reed Military Hospital tomorrow, Friday, for an annual visit. The problem is he had an annual visit back in April. It has been shown that the Convicted FElon is having some serious health & mental concerns

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Did you hear about the genocide being committed by Israel against the people of Palestine in what is currently called Gaza?

It's crazy.

There was a flotilla the IDF captured recently. You should consider reporting on this

I have found that male gun owners, for the most part, are men who have done bad things to others and live in fear of reprisals.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better.

An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever.

AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.
