This is as treasonous as it gets

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Pete Hegseth is using the deaths of American servicemembers to push his own political agenda. A Gold Star father explicitly says he never told Hegseth to “finish the job” in Iran, despite Hegseth’s claims. Exploiting grieving families with lies is a disqualifying lack of integrity.

Rep. Ralph Norman on ICE agents: "They were doxxed. Their homes were raided by the agitators." (This never happened -- Norman is just straight up making stuff up.)

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“One night at Dilley, their mother heard a strange sound ... She went to check on him and found that he had managed to pull the drawstring out of his sweatpants, put it around his neck and was pulling it tightly, believing at the age of 5 that it would be better to die than remain in detention.” 3/

Trump's DOJ isn't hiding the "Epstein Files." They didn't care enough about Epstein to keep him alive, much less hide his files. Trump's DOJ is hiding the *Trump Files*. They are covering up Trump files, including videos and pictures of Donald Trump raping underage girls. This is not about Epstein.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

MS NOW's Ken Dilanian on Patel's USA hockey trip: "Nobody believes that Kash Patel would have been in that locker room had Donald Trump not made him the FBI director.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too? TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

This is your reminder that DOGE risked the sensitive Social Security data of 300 MILLION people. Jeopardizing personal information and having to reissue millions of Social Security cards doesn’t sound like government efficiency to us!

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
