Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

If a guy who did two Nazi salutes bought a bar, renamed it The Nazi Bar, welcomed Nazis there and catered all management decisions to them, while thinking the old patrons would stay at The Nazi Bar so that fascists would have people to argue with and infect with their vile ideology.

That's Twitter.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.

Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.

Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.

This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

Medicare for all.

Big food banks get attention and resources but small, community-based food banks also do important work filling gaps in the safety net. Let’s boost nine of them, from the city to the suburbs to rural Colorado. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations: www.coloradogives.org/story/arapah...

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

#caturday news is that elder kitty has renal issues but the blood pressure medicine has stopped the spasms. She has requested I not remove the fluffy fall pillow.
She's obsessively kneeding it, as seen below.

Rodney Taylor is a disabled double amputee who came to the US when he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him.

He’s been in a camp ever since, and his health has deteriorated considerably.

I’m primary caretaker for a baby now, spending nearly every hour of almost every day handling it all completely on my own.

I’d like to be able to afford 1-2 days a week to knock out big chores (like laundry) & to be on the ground again. A nanny costs $20-$30/hr. I make $350/week lol

The same big corporations that fund the Republicans who cut SNAP underpay their workers so much that they depend on it to survive.

We need higher corporate taxes and a higher minimum wage.
