wow
Gimenez: "We've been warning the administration about the enforcement that's been going on. We thought there should've been a course correction a long time ago, and now I guess it's gonna be forced on us by the Democrats. We should've been focusing on criminals and gang members, not grandmothers."

Good lord, so painful to watch. How anyone can enjoy this, can say “this is what I voted for!” Idk
Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

The BBC is the world's most respected broadcaster. @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social

Just imagine being the parent of a soldier from Canada or Denmark or Great Britain or France who was killed in Afghanistan in the one and only time Article 5 was invoked and the entire alliance came to America's aid, and hearing President Bone Spurs say this.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Mark Kelly sued Pete Hegseth today over his petty and ridiculous attempt to reduce his rank and retirement pay. You can read the complaint here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I can summarize it using a term that Hegseth likes to use almost daily: FAFO.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Wtf is going on with our country
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

🇺🇸 Belated congratulations from this sailor to Navy today. You beat Army and that's as things should be.

🇺🇸 Remember your oath. This nation will count on you to get it right and make decisions that are worthy of her, because we have a dishonorable man leading us who is not.

🇺🇸 Don't give up the ship.

A tanker? We just doing straight up piracy now?
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't know why the administration keeps pursuing the pointless. But yet we see in the WSJ that it's all about trying to make agreements on rare earth minerals and natural gas pipelines, which Ukraine has no part of. Putin does not want peace. The president should see it"

There must be immediate Congressional investigations into Pete Hegseth’s ordering the killings of strike survivors and over 80 people in international waters. Where is my opponent Rep. Ann Wagner? Bible verses and banking regulations aren’t going to save you. Do your job or resign! @wellmanformo

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.
