2026 is the first year in 18 years in which there are zero female active duty four-star generals.

Pete Hegseth has been intervening in military promotions & fighting the military’s leaders in firing & denying promotions to women.

The military promotions board – including its Trump-appointed director – selected 31 officers for promotion as “the best qualified officers within their respective competitive category.”

Those 31 included seven women.

Nine total promotions were cancelled by Hegseth: all seven women & two black men. Not one white man was removed.

It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.

The GOP's Farm Bill includes a provision that could force school meal programs to sharply limit imported foods like bananas, broccoli, peaches, fish, and other reliable foods that cafeterias depend on.

Nutrition experts and school dining directors say our schools don't have the budget, staff, infrastructure, or flexibility to suddenly replace imported staples with domestic alternatives.

This means less options, higher costs, more stress, and worse meals for American kids.

Not to mention the fact that in 2025, the USDA terminated the Local Food for Schools, which allocated $660 million to help schools source fresh products from local farmers.

Instead of causing chaos for underfunded schools and placing a bigger burden on families, we need a national food policy that makes sure all children in schools are fed with universal meals that are abundant, fresh, and nutritious.

RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.

Alzheimers.

One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.

He's not interested.

He's a nasty piece of work.

TRUMP IS LITERALLY TURNING THE DNI INTO THE EPSTEIN POLICE FORCE:

In a move that almost nobody saw coming, Trump is pushing Epstein Island confidant Jay Clayton to be the new head of the DNI.

Jay Clayton was a key partner of Leon Black's Apollo Global Management, which is nothing more than a Mossad front company. Leon Black is intimately tied to Epstein and plastered all over the files.

Jay Clayton was then appointed to head the RIGGED SDNY to help with curating Epstein Documents for the DOJ.

Jay Clayton will be weaponizing the intelligence community against critics of Trump, Epstein and Israel, turning the DNI into the De Facto "Epstein Police Force."

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.

Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.

The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.

Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.

What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.

What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."

The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.

1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.

What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

Not a single ball has been kicked yet, and this is already the picture of the 2026 World Cup:

• The Senegal and Uzbekistan delegations were reportedly subjected to invasive searches upon arrival.

• One of Africa’s top referees was reportedly sent back despite travelling on a diplomatic passport.

• Iraq’s team photographer was denied entry despite holding a valid visa.

• Around 90% of Moroccan supporters who had already purchased tickets reportedly had their visa applications rejected.

• Multiple members of Iran’s support staff were refused visas.

• Switzerland travelled without their star striker, Breel Embolo, after entry issues delayed his arrival. His visa was only granted following significant backlash.

• Iran’s team, despite playing all of its matches in the United States, has reportedly been required to base itself in Mexico and fly in and out for games.

What's the point of hosting a World Cup if so many of the people who make it a WORLD Cup are struggling to take part?

🚨Este Mundial está RARÍSIMO, hermano...
❌ Le negaron la visa a hinchas escoceses que ya tenían entradas y hoteles reservados.
❌ Varios periodistas y representantes de selecciones recibieron avisos de que sus visas no eran válidas.
❌ Y ahora le prohíben la entrada a EE.UU. al mejor árbitro de África, que debía dirigir partidos en este Mundial.
❌ Jugadores retenidos apenas pisan el aeropuerto.
❌ Y a Irán le exigen abandonar Estados Unidos en menos de 24 horas después de jugar.
La verdad... cada día sale algo nuevo. Y esto ya empieza a verse MUY extraño.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 The Pentagon espionage bombshell just got worse...

New reporting confirms Israel has been eavesdropping on the American peace negotiators themselves.

The targets named: Steve Witkoff, Trump's top negotiator with Iran. Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon's policy chief.

And Michael DiMino, who runs Middle East policy.

Israel wasn't just collecting on America generally.

It was listening to the specific men writing the deal Netanyahu opposes.

What's wild is the documented incidents read like operations against an enemy state.

American defense personnel in Israel discovered spyware surreptitiously installed on their phones.

In 2021, Israeli military intelligence officers were caught planting listening devices at DIA headquarters.

Last year, Shin Bet officers were discovered trying to bug a Secret Service vehicle.

A SECRET SERVICE VEHICLE.

One senior official described the Israeli collection effort against top U.S. officials as "unhinged."

And the rating in context: Israel's counterintelligence threat level is now higher than any other American ally and EVEN HIGHER than some adversaries.

Notice who got targeted.

Colby is the most prominent advocate of foreign policy restraint in the government.

DiMino runs Mideast policy. Witkoff writes the deal.

Israel's espionage maps perfectly onto the people standing between Netanyahu and the war he wants to continue. They bugged the peace.

All of this while Israeli officers sit inside CENTCOM with unprecedented access, while Congress moves Section 224 to link the two militaries' systems and data permanently, and while Huckabee negotiates the framework.

The Pentagon says the ally is spying at a critical level.

Washington's answer is to hand them the keys to the network. Please make it make sense...

🚨 Trump's AG Todd Blanche announces that the DOJ will not be releasing the 2.5 million remaining Epstein files they have.

He says they have "moved on."

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

You have to read this. 

Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House and replaced it with a private ballroom funded by corporate donors. Now we know what they got for it. 

More than half of the publicly identified donors to that $400 million project won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion in the 6 months after they gave. Most of those same companies also had federal enforcement actions against them suspended by the Trump Administration during the same period. 

There is no honest word for that other than corruption.

🚨 ICE announces it will no longer report deaths of recently released detainees.

This comes after the deaths of recently released detainees surge to a two-decade high.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu knows Americans are sick of funding Israel’s wars. So now he’s working with Congress to hide military aid inside Pentagon co-production deals.

That means MORE U.S. tax dollars for Israel, with even LESS oversight.

Not gonna happen!
