Patriots will rally to this flag, but CA is going to have to meet them halfway. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Recharter and resource the California State Guard before it's too late.
if it's Trump something else is going on bet on it...but get out early.
Serious fusion firms chase engineers, regulators and boring capital. They don’t need meme stocks. A fusion company merging with Trump Media smells like a shortcut to publicity and a public shell, not synergy. When science needs media to exist, the problem isn’t fusion, it's dark money.
Trump Media to Merge With Nuclear Fusion Company in Deal Worth Over $6 Billion
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, announced a merger agreement with nuclear-fusion company TAE Technologies in an all-stock deal valued at more than $6 billion.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

All heroes are unlikely, lessons on the strength of diversity.
All I can say is that I am infinitely grateful that this Bondi Beach hero is not at the mercy of ICE in Trump’s America!

Heroes come in all forms, and some have their flaws. AB arrived in Australia from the Middle East as a refugee when he was 20. And, he has a criminal history.
An unlikely hero: the story of the man from the bridge
A flawed hero emerged from the carnage at Bondi Beach. A case of mistaken identity put him in great danger.

Promsiing retaliation is about moving the conversation away from accountability. We are there retaliating already that's how this occured. How stupid are people?

Biden should have promised retaliation for Abbey Gate and that all would have went away then?

For those that joked the movie "idiocracy" was a documentary, they were not far off.
Plutocracy is replacing meritocracy. It’s a full-blown attack on the expert class. Vice President JD Vance urges that we trust our common sense over the ideas of “the experts.”

(Plutocracy: government by the wealthy.
Meritocracy: people selected on the basis of their ability.)
Opinion | Populists are replacing meritocracy with something far worse
Undermining expertise is a pretext for consolidating power among the ultra-wealthy.

The official MAGA report of the report, "He didn't do nuffin!"
It appears Hegseth’s response to the watchdog report finding that he directly endangered U.S. troops is just lie & say he didn't.

“This Inspector General review is a TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth @PeteHegseth," spokesperson Sean Parnell said, per Trump acolyte Laura Loomer. trib.al/QxJPk4u

One thing Trump didn't get wrong about America, 1/3 of the country hates the other 2/3 so much they are going to back a criminal regime right up to the point they get told it's ok to put their neighbors into mass graves.
Vance: If you look at every affordability crisis confronting the American people today, it is traceable directly to a problem caused by Joe Biden and congressional Democrats. We had 20 million illegal aliens in this country taking homes that ought by right go to American citizens.

SOCOM/JSOC the command to be most closely watched as I've said before. Operating at the juncture of Titles 10/50 directly from the White House as it gets. Other sub commands NSW, MARSOC, SFC etc. have more eyeballs that *could catch questionable actions.

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Very few people have these higher medals/award so we gonna have to conuslt the rules, but it looks ok to me. DDSM and DFC(s) might be out of order, and then Legion of merit possibly? What an little a$$hole the SECDEF truly is.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is seeking to humiliate an American hero.

Senator Kelly flew 39 combat missions during the Gulf War in 1991 and flew four space shuttle missions (commanding two of them).

People destroying our country by divisive means not limited to the right. Biden and Harris had a chance to champion crypto instead of cede the battlefield to Trump which he readily exploited.

The majority of Americans being used as human batteries by Wall Street was rejected during Occupy (Obama)
Happy Thanksgiving, crypto bros. Enjoy!

When the Govt is actually trying to murder people you would think a full scale revolt can't be far behind.
“Federal prosecutors dismiss charges against Marimar Martinez, shot by a Border Patrol agent multiple times after allegedly using her car to assault federal law enforcement in Chicago…”

So THEY rammed HER, shot her, and bragged about “5 shots, 7 holes”

Along with the Quatari F-15QA (Eagle II) this is yet another strategic blunder on the part of Trump admin. Strategic air power and the US (soon to be former) dominance of it is for OUR DEFENSE.

congress setting itself up for enrichment grifts like Trump, and locking out future investgations it knows are coming post Trump. No media reports....
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
