@atrupar Reminder: Angie Wong was voted off two boards during an ugly fallout involving allegations of financial misconduct and cross accusations over mishandling funds meant for veterans. She’s a clout-chaser.
Fuck you, Angie Wong.
"A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier publicly reprimanded Pete Hegseth and his advisers on Veterans Day.
After a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, Hegseth posed for photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, and senior aides, including chief of staff Ricky Buria.
Some in the group began laughing and talking near the memorial, and the sentinel on patrol stopped, turned to face them and called out, “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!”
The tomb is one of the most sacred war memorials in the country, and soldiers from the Army’s Old Guard have guarded it around the clock since 1948.
The rebuke came just a day after House Republicans shelved the effort to impeach Hegseth, which he and his allies claimed as vindication.
A Miami Republican official is attacking the soldier who reprimanded Pete Hegseth at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Angie Wong, a Miami Republican committeewoman, defended Hegseth after the sentinel guarding the tomb called out his group for laughing and talking near the memorial on Veterans Day.
“You have the war secretary lay a wreath on Veterans Day and then to be yelled [at],” Wong said, adding that Hegseth is “the most effective War Secretary that we’ve had.”
Her criticism is aimed at a soldier from the Army’s Old Guard, which has guarded the tomb around the clock since 1948 and is charged with keeping silence and respect at the site."
BREAKING: Democrats Flip Mississippi Blue, Pete Hegseth Reprimanded For Laughing by Soldier, Major Epstein News, and More https://t.co/eibC9Qqily
@angiewong is a treasonous pos supporting disrespect for our vets as she attacks Arlington Guard for yelling at Hegseth: "I mean, pay talk about 'paying respect.' You have the war secretary lay a wreath on Veterans Day and then to be yelled that ..." fuck you, Angie.
This is truly abhorrent. Pete Hegseth doesn't know how to conduct himself, even at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
His behavior is unbecoming of any visitor to the Tomb, let alone that which comes from a Secretary of Defense.
A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”
@Sheila45005286@Tom92855662 No he didn't. At the debate, Stephen Fry discussed how Victorian-era laws and terms (such as "rent boys" or the age of consent) have changed over time, and cautioned against applying 21st-century legal frameworks to 19th-century historical figures.
I can’t believe a Democrat is already exposing his own party like this
Don Leonard, the Democrat who just won Ohio’s 15th District, says senior House Democrats warned him what happens if he won’t back Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker:
“Making my life a living heII for the next two years here in Washington as well as being sure to lose my election”
He says they “expect you to wear the team jersey” and “be a good team player”
They don’t want representatives, they want obedience
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”
A security agent for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just warned the reporters here — for Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months — that we will be physically removed from the briefing room if we are not professional and maintain decorum. We asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this. Shouted questions are normal. “This is crazy town” one journalist said, noting the White House has never threatened reporters like that. We’re in the room, back row:
Trump has completely deleted his year-old Truth Social post directing then-Attorney General Pam Bondi to speed up prosecutions of his perceived political opponents.
21/ It's not all crypto, though. Another big factor: Trump's overseas licensing deals.
January 6th once looked ruinous for the Trump brand. “He has done permanent damage to the Trump name and image,” real-estate analyst Kevin Brown told me after the riot on the Capitol.
2/ This question appears to be based on the change in Trump's net worth increase from the fall of 2024, when he was elected, to the fall of 2025.
Over that year, we estimated his fortune increased from $4.3 billion to $7.3 billion, a jump of $3 billion.
4/ What happened between early March 2024 and the fall of 2024 that drove his net worth up by $2 billion in a matter of months?
The president brought the Trump Media and Technology Group, the company that operates Truth Social, to the public markets. Trump fans went nuts.
6/ I explained all of this in a cover story for Forbes that fall. The quote on the cover was from Trump himself: "Politics is great because you don't spend any money. You can't make a bad deal." https://t.co/22d1D6ONtC
