DOUBLE SCOOP! As @dfriedman.bsky.social was investigating a top Hegseth aide tied to a Goodreads page listing porno books featuring "Asian wife swapping" and sex with transgender women, MAGA hitman Jack Posobiec threatened to do a hit job on Dan. Smells like a Pentagon attempt at intimidation.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Just weeks after Rep. Henry Cuellar was pardoned for federal bribery charges, he's given a top position on the Congressional committee that determines how your taxpayer dollars are spent.
This is exactly how corruption stays embedded in our government.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.
