The Signalgate IG report is officially out — it is incredibly damning for Hegseth.
If you only have one minute, read this section on page 25 ⬇️
Hegseth jeopardized the mission. He put US pilots' lives at risk. Then blatantly lied and covered it up.
FIRE HEGSETH.

Even accounting for the new congressional maps, a swing like Aftyn Behn's (Trump+22 to D-8.6) would net Dems 259 seats in the midterms.
Even if the swing is *half* of tonight's, Dems win the House with 229 seats

Just to put this in some perspective, the group of current and former senior FBI agents and analysts who just put out the scathing report on Kash Patel and Dan Bongino’s clown show tenure at the agency ENDORSED TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT. That’s how bad tweedle dumb and dumber are.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

As Thanksgiving draws to a close on the east coast, I am grateful for everyone who resists because they/we understands the moment we are in. It’s the butterfly effect and it takes each and every one of us to be the change.

I’m going to start a podcast. There’s already one called “Hearts & Prayrs” so I need another suggested name. It will likely be a daily show in which I lift up mass shootings that take place every day because we are way too numb and must reengage. Any suggestions? #thoughtsandprayers

CORRECTION: West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey walks back statement that both National Guard members were killed in shooting near White House. (This post corrects a previous post that stated the two members had died.)
Two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says
Two National Guard soldiers were shot Wednesday near the White House and their conditions aren’t immediately known, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.Emergency vehicles were seen responding to the area.

I was a front line nurse during Covid.
Wearing trash bags, wet masks, NO adequate PPE to protect me.
I worked a 60 day stretch over the holidays because staff were sick or had died.
I pronounced more people dead than I can count.
Donald Trump didn't give a damn if we lived or died.
