Pete Hegseth has issued a formal censure against a genuine American hero. The charge? The hero quoted the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the bronze plaque on display at the entrance to West Point.
Hegseth can't stand the rule of law, justice, or ethics.

Just a reminder that only a month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, a man who helped smuggle more than 400 tons of cocaine into the USA.
Also a reminder... RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

2/2 Plus the administration hopes it will distract from the fact that $1.99, $2.99, and $3.99 have all but disappeared from supermarket shelves. Prices are in the process of blowing though $4.99 now with many landing on $5.99 and $6.99. Who owns our food?

1/2 I'll raise my voice. Why are we attacking Venezuela and kidnapping its president and his wife? V produces 1% of the drugs Americans take but has the world's largest reserves of the drug industry takes-oil.

Posted by Zack Everson. I can't figure out how to repost it so I just copied the image. My mother traveled to Germany in 1938 and saw signs leading into towns, "Juden Sind Hier Verboten".

Thoughts on the rich man, Elon, originally by Joyce Carol Oates.
I’ve noticed the same thing about all the most prolific MAGA posters. Everything is a culture war. Anger and fear rule the day.
They don’t post photos of their pets or discuss their favorite sports teams or music or TV shows.
Normal things Americans enjoy are too woke or gay or whatever

Yep. This is the best morning spent reading the AN (awful news) in a long, long time. Bulldoze the White House?!? Have you noticed that everything Trump builds is just a wee bit...tacky. "I'm creatimg the ultimate in luxury" winds up evoking an Italian funeral parlor.
Seeing Mamdani win by a LANDSLIDE is giving me hope. That’s such a big deal these days. It’s amazing.

Happy, not for incoming shenanigans but to prevent them.
Democrats have secured a 5-2 majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, a key swing state.

There is no more 1.99. It's dead, and so is 2.99. There are a few 3.99 sightings but 4.99 is the new 1.99. Except for stale food. That's still a bargain.
I just bought a pound of butter at Kroger for $13.
It was not Kerrygold.
It was mid.
It was $13.
Trump take cookie.

Me too, actually. The implied question is: Are you a good person or not? And my answer is: Yes, but I'm just trying to buy groceries here.
