USS Abraham Lincoln’s resupply problems weren’t a mystery. Iran hit NSA Bahrain—the 5th Fleet’s main logistics hub—hard in February. The Navy had to shift to Diego Garcia, 2,200 miles away instead of ~800. Transit times roughly tripled, so replenishment dropped from every ~3 days to ~10. That’s the logistics reality behind the shortages and 200+ days at sea without a port call. The Pentagon fired the editor of Stars and Stripes for telling the truth.

I ranch with my 85 year old Dad who has been a die hard Trump fan.

Whenever I criticize any Trump decision, even slightly, he’ll get personally offended and won’t want to talk about it. So I’ve
avoided voicing my disdain over his attacks on Massie, spending, Ag, etc. when Dad is in the room.

Today, after the beef import announcement, Dad shook his head, sadly, and said, “you know, I really don’t think he gives a damn about anyone who isn’t rich, and sure not about ranchers. Never wanted to believe that until today.”

There wasn’t a more stalwart Trump supporter on the planet.

Trump is losing the room.

As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.

Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.

His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.

A pure disgrace.

This is absolutely authoritarian. Stop making excuses for this behavior. Professional law enforcement would never do this. We must enforce the laws and regulations not because we are anti-police but because we want good police to not be thrown into the dirt with these thugs with badges.

🚨BREAKING: An ICE/Border Patrol agent approached a U.S. citizen at a gas station, in Lake Worth, Florida, demanded his ID, and when the U.S. citizen asked why? …

The agent’s said, “Because you’re an immigrant.”

Except that is not how the Constitution works.

In the video, the U.S. citizen is standing at a gas station when an agent walks up and says, “Let me see your ID.”

The man asks a completely reasonable question, “Why?”

The agent responds, “Because you’re an immigrant.”

And before the man has even been identified, the agents grab his hands and puts him in handcuffs.

People standing around immediately start questioning what is happening…asking the agents how they can arrest someone when they haven’t even identified who he is…

But the agents ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court has held that roving Border Patrol agents need reasonable suspicion, based on specific circumstances, to stop someone and question them about immigration status. And apparent ethnicity, by itself, is not enough.

So, what was the actual legal basis for demanding this man show his ID?

Because if the answer is literally… “because you’re an immigrant,” that should piss off every American.

You should not have to prove you’re a U.S. citizen before the government decides it has the right to put you in handcuffs.

And this is just another reminder that constitutional rights don’t mean anything if federal agents can violate them, over and over again, with no accountability.

Russia needs nothing short of complete humiliation and destruction. It’s a pure evil terrorist state

Make Russia small again

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was just murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches.

Anyone know what else happens in the next 90 days? Midterms.

He wants to lower the cost of meat, get your midterm vote, then you can go back to suffering.

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

A pregnant mom with a 7 year old daughter are trapped in Dilley detention center while trying to self-deport. They have been begging @SenKatieBritt to intervene. She has not responded to the lawyers repeated requests.

She did find time to go on Fox & slur people though.

The national debt just hit a record $40 trillion.

Trump promised to eliminate the debt. Instead, he increased it by more than any U.S. president in history.

Hey now

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: When he first announced the tariffs, you remember that? He called it Liberation Day, and it crashed the markets because it was clown policy. You remember that?

OK, so follow me through on this. He announces the tariffs on April 2 of last year. The markets tank nonstop for like a week because it’s a disastrous trade policy, and six days into the crash, April 8, Trump buys millions in stock. I’m talking Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and then the very next morning, April 9, he posts on Truth Social, quote, “This is a great time to buy.” Three exclamation marks.

OK, now listen to this. Three hours and 41 minutes after that post, one day after he bought millions in stock, he canceled the tariffs and triggered one of the biggest same-day rebound rallies in market history.

He’s trying to get money. And you saw, now he’s offering paid subscriptions to presidential announcements, right? Just understand what’s for sale here: The sitting president’s pronouncements on war and peace and economic policy delivered first to paying customers.

What an absolute crook.

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

Our troops are living in horrific conditions going without proper nutrition, and our munitions are depleting while we’re fighting a vanity proxy war with Iran.

But have no fear… our Commander in Chief spent his weekend…. GOLFING.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight.

This crisis appears to be far bigger than just the USS Abraham Lincoln. https://t.co/FVal1ePgO0

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Agreed. This is insane

I called for closing the skies in congress on day one. It holds today. Russia has not ability to respond.

(And no, panicans, they won’t use nukes good lord we used to call them out on this all the time)

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

The centre of Kherson was just hit with massive russian bombs. Imagine if this was any other city on earth, this would be global news. Tens of thousands of civilians still live here.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

You voted for RFK Jr. despite knowing full well he’s an anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist crank. You emboldened Trump to go even further with his insane and corrupt agenda when you voted Saturday to confirm Todd Blanche, his former lawyer, as attorney general.

You own this mess.
