The reporting by NBC on our depletion of weapons and by the Times on the selection of a CNO is more evidence that Hegseth—with his firing of competent general officers, politicized promotions, and a culture where truth-telling is punished—has done real damage to our military.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday that Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) five-week absence from Congress and lack of response to Gov. Andy Beshear's (D-KY) request for an update on his health "conveys a very disturbing inability to fulfill his duties."
"I understand that people have a right to medical privacy to deal with their issues, but we do not have the right to disappear from our jobs without explanation," she said. "I don't think any American has ever experienced the ability to just leave your job for over a month with no explanation to your employer."
If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the needy to be called "parasites," and our planet to be ravaged, all while billionaires get richer, we've misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.
Kelly: The military does not need more testosterone. It needs better leadership. And that starts with the secretary of defense. It also starts with the commander in chief.
He's the one that hired Pete hegseth, who is the most unqualified individual we've ever had in this position by far. They're firing the wrong people. Pete Hegseth is firing people because they're women and they're black. The President should fire Pete hegseth.
HEGSETH: We had US boats that surrendered to Iranian ships during the Biden administration--
REED: Listen -- we're talking about the war you started. Not a situation in which oil was flowing freely, there was no conflict, we weren't losing personnel. So your fallback to the Biden administration is just a very very obvious excuse for what I think is gross negligence.
Obama has just dropped a bombshell on Trump 🔥
🇺🇸Trump at 5:00 PM: "We need $1.5 billion to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for ships to pass safely."
🇺🇸Obama at 6:00 PM: But the Hormuz was already open before the war, idiot? So what was the point of whole war? You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING.” 🔥🔥
Mic drop 👏🤣
Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
More than half of Americans having to cut back on food for their families should be enough for Trump to end the Iran conflict, give up on his illegal tariffs, and address inflation. Sadly, it's not.
Our people deserve better.
Another leader with a spine, Finland’s President, Alexander Stubb calls out Trump! Trump is a moron surrounded by an incompetent, unqualified cabinet of loyalists that don’t know their head from their ass! 🤬
Chris Christie tears into Trump’s unprecedented grifting:
“He and his family believe they are entitled to this… This is Putin-esque type of corruption and self-enrichment.”
America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.
Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
Imagine not wanting the government to infringe on your freedoms as a Christian while simultaneously working to have the government infringe on the freedoms of others in the name of Christianity and refusing to admit the blatant hypocrisy.
🚨 BREAKING:
World-renowned US rapper Kendrick Lamar:
"Donald Trump is a narcissist who runs a country built on fear and division, trampling over democratic values; you either stand for equality and the truth, or you are part of this climate of hate."
Today, I’m announcing something new to fight back against Donald Trump and his attacks on our democracy. I'm launching Back The Bold to restore accountability in Washington.
The mission is straightforward: to back leaders with the courage to say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done, and hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable. That means supporting Democrats and Independents who refuse to flinch. It's time to be bold. Join the fight.

White, Christian Nationalism is the most powerful animating force in my former political party. It’s utterly un-American, it’s anathema to Christianity, and it’s completely out of the closet in today’s GOP.👇
