This is some next-level trolling: US Representative Mark Pocan of Wisconsin introduced legislation called the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act (ELON MUSK for short) to make government spending more transparent.
If you’ve ever been to the spot at Arlington where Hegseth got reprimanded, you know it’s one of the most solemn, heaviest, emotional places in America. Most would never dream of being loud or laughing while we are there. But Hegseth, on Vet’s Day of all days, is a classless ass.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
This thread is HORIFYING.
- An 18-year-old former Turning Point chapter VP says she was held down and assaulted at a TPUSA event. It was filmed without her consent, and a man can be heard saying "she is for the whole team" while she resists, and there is clearly blood visible on pants.
- The video was taken without her permission and the men jump onto her. She filed a police report with Rutgers PD. Instead of accountability, she says she got a threatened lawsuit, and that a Turning Point staffer deleted their messages.
- The man she accuses, Vincent Tabone (who goes by "Jim Callahan"), sent her an AI-written cease-and-desist and threatened a defamation suit.
- The man who allegedly filmed her, Daniel Baez of William Paterson University, kept contacting her after she told him to stop.
- Her Turning Point field rep, Anthony Romano, allegedly first told her to block Baez, later changed his position, and deleted their chat messages.
Then there's video of Turning Point's own general counsel walking into a room of underage drinkers, high schoolers included, and saying "I know you are all 21!"
Where is the outrage from the "protect the kids" crowd? Every reporter should be on this.
NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
