THIS JUST IN: Pete Hegseth has decided to take away the rank from all military Chaplins- because they're not ‘warfighters’. Since WW One, US Chaplins have won 5 Medals of Honor, 26 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Navy Cross, 45 Silver Stars and 719 Bronze Stars for valor.
Why the fuck was Tiffany Trump’s husband, Michael Boulos, a private citizen with no role in the Trump admin who has significant financial ties to the Middle East, sitting next to Marco Rubio during a high level meeting with UAE to discuss the Iran MOU.
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that it should be a MUCH bigger story that trump's cabinet member, RFK Jr, tried to dangle a gov't job to an Iowa candidate in exchange for dropping out of the race.
“As a liaison with the White House”
CORRUPT AF.
MONSANTO'S MAN ON THE SUPREME COURT
Clarence Thomas did not recuse himself in the Monsanto case. Thomas worked as an attorney in Monsanto's legal department in the 70's.
Three major Monsanto cases have come before the bench while Thomas has been a justice. He has voted Monsantos way each time
Todd Blanche's name is on emails in the Epstein files.
He is now the Acting Attorney General, deciding what stays hidden.
Today a federal judge granted Katie Phang's injunction and ordered his Justice Department to release the records it withheld.
The court is making him.
A billionaire can write off a private jet as a business expense, but a teacher can't write off the crayons she bought for her classroom. A CEO can deduct a $500 steak dinner, but a nurse can't deduct the scrubs she's required to wear.
NBC: “This new U.N.-commissioned report carried out by a committee of independent experts says Israeli troops deliberately shot at Palestinian children and carried out genocide and war crimes… over 21,000 children died.”
If Democrats are serious about winning the midterms they need to hire a seasoned spokesperson to hold daily press conferences. They need to challenge the lies and misinformation that the White House spits out every single day.

The SAVE Act would require people to show proof of citizenship that matches their current legal name - documents like a passport or a birth certificate.
Only 39.7% of Michiganders hold a passport.
Over 2.2 million married women in Michigan changed their surnames.
The SAVE Act could disenfranchise MILLIONS in our state. But that's what the president wants. Housing crisis be damned.
3 judges with the International Criminal Court filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Trump and his administration, challenging the sanctions against them and calling it a "financial death penalty."
The judges bringing the lawsuit are:
- Kimberly Prost (Canada)
- Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda)
- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)
Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.
The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures meant to punish and coerce them. They say the restrictions cut them off from banking, online platforms, travel booking, and sometimes health insurance.
This should be much bigger news.
