That's an interesting email box...it'd be a shame if it got filled up with random things... mail.proton.me is your friend

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.
Me and Mrs. BTQ were planning on taking a nice EU vacation this summer. Unfortunately that plan was canceled due to...*everything*
Charles Payne: "A couple days ago Bank of America came out with their credit card data, & it was scary. I mean, shocking declines in restaurants, airlines, lodging. Just look at the most recent poll of people who said they're gonna go traveling soon. It has plunged. I think the boom times are over."

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Doesn't commit for aid for Americans. Does commit to aid for law enforcement to forcibly remove people (which will include Americans). What ever happened to helping Americans?
WATCH: “No, I won’t commit that.” Speaker Johnson refuses to say there won’t be “strings attached” to disaster aid for California.
Hegseth: "Yes I would, and quite frankly already thinking about how to invade our allies"
HIRONO: Would you carry out an order from President Trump to seize Greenland, a territory of our NATO ally Denmark, by force? HEGSETH: President Trump received 77 million votes-- HIRONO: We're not talking about the election
The military shooting US citizens who are lawfully protesting will not be viewed lightly.
HIRONO: Would you carry out an order from President Trump to shoot protesters in the legs? HEGSETH: *dodges question* HIRONO: That sounds to me that you would comply with such an order. You still shoot protesters in the legs HEGSETH: *silent*
Hegseth a month ago: "I will stop drinking if I get the Sec of Def job" Hegseth today: "I will not commit to resign if I drink on the job"
Wow -- Hegseth steamrolls Hirono as she tries to ask him about accusations of being drunk on the job. He then dodges a question about if he'll commit to resign as sec def if he drinks on the job
What I heard: "We will raise standards to levels that women are unable to reach to force them out of the combat roles they have rightfully earned"
Hegseth: "Yes, women will have access to ground combat roles -- *given* the standards remain high. And we'll have a review to ensure the standards have not been eroded in any one of those cases. That'll be part of one of the first things we do at the Pentagon."
Sounds like Hegseth needs an expanded FBI background check.
BLUMENTHAL: I assume you'd be willing to submit to an expanded FBI background check HEGSETH: I'm not charge of FBI background checks BLUMENTHAL: But you would submit to it and support it? HEGSETH: I'm not charge of FBI background checks *takes a big gulp of water*
If your own unit thinks you're an extremist, it's not just because of a tattoo. It takes much more for unit commanders to take a hard look at you, INCLUDING your behavior. Totally outed himself as a Blue Falcon (Blue Falcon=BF=Buddy Fucker=someone who would screw over their buddy in a foxhole).
Hegseth: "I volunteered to guard the inauguration of Joe Biden but was denied the opportunity to serve because I was identified as an extremist by my own unit for a Christian tattoo." (Hegseth at the time was a January 6 hype man on Fox)
Gillibrand: "It's a silly thing to say [that a mom can't be lethal on the battlefield]" No, it's not silly, it's sexist.
Gillibrand: "You said in your statement 'you don't want politics in the DoD.' Everything you've said is politics. 'I don't want women, I don't want moms.' What's wrong with a mom, by the way? Once you have babies you're no longer able to be lethal? ... it's a silly thing to say."
Why should someone who makes up shit be given a position in the government? This question isn't just about Hegseth...
GILLIBRAND: Give me one example. I get you're making these generalized statements HEGSETH: Commanders meet quotas to have a certain numbers of female infantry officers GILLIBRAND: Commanders do not have to have a quota for commanders in the infantry. That does not exist.
I hope all you Palestinian protest Trump and no-votes are happy with this answer. "Pave paradise and put up a parking lot"
COTTON: Do you consider yourself a Christian Zionist? HEGSETH: I'm a Christian and I robustly support the state of Israel and its existential defense and the way American comes alongside them as their great ally ... I support Israel killing every last member of Hamas
That's exactly what the military already does. If someone is unable to perform their military duties they are recycled/reclassed into a new role. Hegseth and Cotton are fucking idiots.
Hegseth suggests that women serving in combat roles if they can't meet the same standards as men is a bad idea and something Trump may reconsider
HEGSETH: "Women shouldn't be in the military" Also HEGSETH: "We have a recruiting crisis" If you think you have a recruitment crisis now, wait until you kick all the women out of the military.
Shaheen: "Should we take it that you believe that the two women on this committee who have served honorably and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable?"
Looks like I just needed the next video from Aaron, lol bsky.app/profile/atru...
Shaheen points out that Hegseth's views on women in the military magically became more enlightened after he was nominated for defense secretary
It's hilarious (it's really not) that Hegseth completely and utterly discredits himself on his own view on women in the military and combat roles.
Shaheen: "Should we take it that you believe that the two women on this committee who have served honorably and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable?"
REED: "What is a jagoff?" HEGSETH: "Me" REED: "Correct"
REED: Would you explain what a jagoff is? HEGSETH: I don't think I need to REED: Why? HEGSETH: Because the men & women watching understand REED: Perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand HEGSETH: It would be a jag officer who puts his or her own priorities in front of the warfighters
Reed is correctly identifying that Hegseth's proposed changes to the military would weaken the US. But when that's the plan handed to you by the Russian-in-Chief that you can't say out loud, what are you supposed to do?
Reed: "All of your public comments don't talk meritocracy. They talk about liberal democratic efforts that are destroying the military, 'those people are our enemies.' That's not meritocracy. That's a political view. Your goal as I see it emerging is to politicize the military"
Hegseth is lying saying he, and Trump cares about the troops. If they care so much, why are they trying to gut the VA?
Wicker begins his questioning: "Let's get into this allegation about, um, sexual assault, inappropriate workplace behavior, alcohol abuse, and financial mismanagement ..." Hegseth claims it's a "coordinated smear campaign orchestrated in the media against us."
Hegseth said he's gonna address the recruiting crisis back to the military. He doesn't know why the military has a recruiting crisis. I wonder when they'll announce mandatory conscription as a 'fix' to get more people to join the military.
a third demonstrator interrupts Hegseth's opening statement and is dragged out
