Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied.
Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.
Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

Donald Trump's nominee for Solicitor General argued last year that the President could assassinate political opponents and, barring impeachment first, he could not be prosecuted him for it.
Even today, he embraces that dangerous view.

I was chatting with one of my climate science friends about this today: they've spent the past 25 years establishing facts about climate change--now that record of creating facts can be seen as "incriminating evidence" of being part of the "climate change hoax." Dangerous times ahead. 😱
Elon Musk inserted himself into the debate over the role climate change plays in wildfires as at least five fires scorched the Los Angeles area. But scientists are clear: a warming planet has created the conditions.
