“The most important political office is that of the private citizen.” -Louis D. Brandeis (Supreme Court Justice)

So, to those who say I'm "political," damn right I am! It's my job as an American!

WATCH: Noem and the Trump regime cabinet let out an evil laugh about ruining immigrants’ Christmases 😕🎅🎄 (most grabbed by ICE have no records)

She says they are about to hire their 10,000th ICE goon - with a budget bigger than most military budgets. Your money.

Another bizarre Cabinet "meeting" where agency heads compete to be maximally sycophantic on camera. But elaborately praising the 79-year-old president as he nods off really takes it to another level.

So this morning I received an email from Medicare with the caption saying “Your mental health matters”. And then you open it up and this charlatan’s face is on it. I have an idea. 💡How about we prosecute, impeach, convict, and remove all these criminals then I think my mental health will improve.

Just a reminder that all claims that NATO expansion is a threat to Russia are posted by useful idiots who have fallen for the Kremlin's longstanding propaganda and should not be taken seriously because they're nonsense.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Blowing up boats and murdering folks is a war crime, especially when there is no evidence to support the decision.

Hegseth is in charge of the Pentagon and he’s the one giving illegal orders, but he’ll blame Admiral Bradley to save his own skin.

Hegseth should be removed and held accountable.

In the 10 months since President Trump retook office, the RNC has spent at least $796,513 at Trump’s hotels and country clubs.

That means Trump is profiting from everyday donors who thought their money was going to help elect candidates.
Trump Again Funneling Money From Political Committees He Runs Into His Own Pocket
Of the $1.1 million his hotels and country clubs have collected from Republican candidates and committees this year, 80% is from entities Trump controls.

Pentagon abruptly calls a press conference for 11 am. Or, since hard-pass holders are now right-wing orgs & influencers, something orchestrated but flavored like a press conference: "For in-person attendance, this briefing is limited to invited press only. There is no Zoom call dial-in available."

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

At the end of this month, the ACA tax credits will expire – plunging millions of Americans even deeper into the affordability crisis as their health care costs skyrocket.

It’s time for President Trump and Republicans in Congress to get serious about saving healthcare.

Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."

"Just a few years ago, conservatives struggled to navigate a world in which everyone was expected to pay fealty (whether sincerely or not) to the idea the US could be a multi-racial democracy in which equality was the goal toward which we all strove. But now, they’re pretending nothing of the sort."

Making Adm. Bradley the fall guy in the Administration’s “Protect Pete” campaign is disgraceful & destructive. It signals to military professionals down the ranks they’ll be thrown under the bus for lawbreaking by Hegseth & other political leaders.
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.
