Q: "What do you say to veterans who may be concerned the U.S. is getting into another open-ended war in the Middle East?"
Hegseth: "This is not open-ended. It doesn't mean it limits our ability to respond — we will respond if necessary."

Q: "Are you prepared for a protracted war?"
Hegseth: "Well, anything can happen in conflict, we acknowledge that, but the scope of this was intentionally limited...with the capabilities of the American military nearly unlimited."

Would glitter-bombs be considered "assaults" on ICE. I am loving this idea. Glitter is impossible to get out of your hair and your clothes. Everyone should carry a secret stash.

Just want to raise the point that Secretary Noem certainly knows that Alex Padilla is a U.S. senator. She could have easily instructed security to knock it off.
(Also did the Secret Service not know he was a Senator, either??)

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

Elon said Donald’s bill was bad and then Donald said he Elon knew what was in it and then Elon called him a liar and that he rigged the election for him and that Donald’s name is all over the Epstein list and that’s why it’s not been made public which means Elon has been covering up for a pedophile.

If the Trump administration wanted to oppose antisemitism, they could start with themselves. They are trivializing the concept of antisemitism, making it meaningless — and that is a terrible antisemitic action.

The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.
It also received $22M in federal aid.
While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

CBS just released promotional listings for this Sunday's @60minutes.bsky.social. One of the stories is titled "The Rule of Law" – it's a Scott Pelley report "on the law firms picked out by the President and the different ways they're responding to White House pressure."
