Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028.

You can believe me now or believe me in 2028.

Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

AOC on Vance/Watergate: I think what it reveals more is about what JD Vance’s vision for America is, is that he wants more of the same. He doesn't want anything to change in this country. He wants to continue the reality that corruption is banal, normal. And he loves the way that the country is being governed right now. He loves that you can start an illegal war and make tons of people rich, send Americans into harm's way, and that it'll barely be a blip in on people's radar. He loves that we can engage in record levels of corruption and get away with it. And so in that statement, it's less about the acknowledgment of the reality, but it's that his vision for the future is exactly the same, and that your life won't change if so long as he's in charge.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “So as Elon Musk jumped around with his chainsaw and bragged about wood chippers, experts and laid off aid workers AT THE TIME, were telling us VERY EXPLICITLY, what would happen…Again, he and a bunch of folks that came to work with him, they pulled the plug on all sorts of programs with no warning whatsoever, for the poorest and most desperate people in the world, who were relying on it for everything from food to HIV medication, then he walked away from it, and his space company went public. History will obviously remember Elon Musk’s inconceivable wealth, but will it reckon with the human cost of his power?”😳

Stephen Miller: “America’s doors are fully closed to asylum seekers… If you want asylum, we’ll find another country to take you.”

Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees have been resettled in the U.S., according to the Refugee Processing Center. All but three, who were from Afghanistan, were South African.

Meanwhile, The New York Times reports the Trump administration has prepared a welcome package for future white South African refugees arriving in the U.S. that includes an Android tablet, an American flag, copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and Trump-approved literature promoting a version of American and South African history that criticizes racial equity and civil rights laws while promoting claims of discrimination against white people.

It doesn’t get more racist than this. Refugees are welcome as long as they’re white.

When I was coming up as a political scientist in the 1990s, Nixon was the exemplar of the presidency gone wrong. We learned about Watergate to learn what the presidency should NOT be

US pol sci & history widely regard Nixon as the worst POTUS ever for his crimes.Vance knows this

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

This is what Elon Musk and his orc lieutenants *know* they’re stirring up. They’re trying to get some psycho to do the deed(s) for them.

It’s unbelievable to me we American taxpayers are funding this fascist scumbag (who comes from a very long line of fascist scumbags, to boot).

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

THIS is exactly what @ABC and others should have done to Trump instead of caving and giving in and paying him off with millions of dollars.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

Police assault 9 month pregnant woman—who was already handcuffed behind her back.

Officer pushed her against wall—then punched her in head giving a concussion.

While calling the woman "gross," and "nasty"—all captured on body camera.

Then blamed assault on the public saying: "I don't think that the public treating us like crap means that we have to sit there and be quiet and take it either."

Carri Carrico was also caught on camera punching another man already handcuffed and in custody.

She was indicted last month on 2 counts of aggravated assault—trial is set for November.

Incident occurred inside the Buckeye Police Department facility in Arizona.

Get real Doug. Veterans are treated poorly in so many places, and your draconian cuts just make things worse.

Farewell to the land of the free...the Zionist neo-Nazis have arrived to subjugate the American people.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

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.

Sen. Warren: "What's the annual wage growth right now? It's just a facts question."

Phelan: "I do not have that in front of me right now."

Warren: "It's 3.4%. So let's put this one together. Is 4.2% higher than 3.4%?"

Phelan: "I will repeat what I said, which is real wage growth in this administration is positive."

Sen. Warren: "Right now families are falling behind...You have now made clear what your position is, and that is you can't even do the basic facts...You can't bring yourself as the person who sits there and says, 'I want to be the head of the Council of Economic Advisors,' and you can't even say, 'Yeah, inflation is running higher than wages right now'...I think this person has disqualified himself in five minutes."

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Let’s be clear about what’s going on here: They knew this story would hit, may have even been the source. It’s an effort to intimidate people into thinking it’s too risky to work the polls, too risky to vote. Do not bend the knee here. If you haven’t already, register & volunteer

Anita Hill was attacked for warning us about Clarence Thomas. Hillary Clinton was attacked for warning us about Samuel Alito. Christine Blasey Ford was attacked for warning us about Brett Kavanaugh. E Jean Carroll was attacked for warning us about Trump.

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

The Utah Senate President has an 18-year old grandson charged with molesting a child.

Last month, he passed a bill reducing child molestation sentences, only for 18-year olds. Yesterday, he lost his job.

They walk among us, insisting leftists & minorities are the problem.

Artur Shehu, the Albanian who claims ownership of the land he is selling to Jared Kushner's Qatari business partners, lives in Miami Beach and is under investigation for money laundering tied to an "international drug trafficking ring" connected to the Kushner resort deal.

When you think your normalization of unprecedented crime and corruption from the Oval Office is a brag…

[Chasing Ennui @rwlesq]

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice.

She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.

Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.

[Lorraine E-Van-Off @LorraineEvanoff]

"Jones, a charismatic cult leader, led a group of a thousand people from California to a leased compound in the jungles of Guyana.

He promised them utopia. Instead, he gave them forced labour, public humiliation and propaganda — broadcast over loudspeakers 24-hours a day. It was a tough place to get a good night’s sleep.

He confiscated their passports, medications and life savings. In spite of this, most of his followers continued to worship him. A small number of them saw him for the monster that he was and wanted out.

The ones that wanted to leave were the ones that Jones referred to as the “handful of our people with their lies.” He said their daring to want to leave him was “the betrayal of a century.” To one of his followers he said, “Without me, life has no meaning.”

In the end, 908 of his followers lay dead. Jones either shot himself or was shot by someone else, it’s never been determined which.

Democratic congressman Leo Ryan, 3 journalists and one of Jones’ followers were murdered trying to escape.

It is often said that people who are attracted to cults have certain psychological defects. Or they’re just stupid. Not necessarily so.

The best defence against falling captive to a cult is to cultivate critical thinking and to get into the habit of fact-checking all claims.

People like Jim Jones are very good at manipulating others. Cult leaders are almost always malignant narcissists or sociopaths. Jones was both.

So is Donald Trump.

So where will Trump’s sidewalk end, and what will he do when he gets to the end of it? I don’t know. We saw a demonstration of how Trump behaves when backed into a corner on January 6, 2021.

Whatever he does this time you can rest assured it will be bolder, scarier and far more violent."
