Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. He’s a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. I’m voting NO.

California makes all the food this country eats and all the clothes this country wears in addition to paying more federal taxes than anyone else. Want to cut us off? OK. Good luck with the tariffs and trying to get cheap produce and goods from Mexico and Canada without us!
HANNITY: Are you saying that California, if they continue to aid and abet lawbreaking and harbor illegal immigrants, money from DC gets cut off?
MIKE JOHNSON: Yeah. We're talking about conditions to this disaster aid.

Trump hits the ground running trying to keep the costs of drugs high for consumers. Literally.
Trump has rescinded a Biden executive order calling for the development of policies to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

In case you need it in motion — because his pounding on his chest is so Nazi — like my ancestors who were murdered in Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps can hear the boots marching !
Elon then turned and did it again.

What’s even more uncanny: Octavia Butler lived — and is buried — in Altadena, the location most devastated by the Eaton fire.
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Journalist who lost his home in the Eaton fire:
Also, I don't blame our loss on "DEI firefighters" or space lasers or antifa or Gavin Newsom or wokeness not allowing forest floors to be raked. There's no cartoon villain here. This was a catastrophic wind storm that caused bone dry vegetation to ignite. It's climate change.

REMINDER: Project 2025 includes a section that suggests changing the 40hr workweek to a 160hr work-month, so your boss could make you work extra hours with no overtime pay by cutting your hours later in the month. See page 592.
President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.
Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
