🚨BREAKING: Lady Gaga said: “This is our opportunity to vote against Donald Trump,” and her video was removed from Facebook and Instagram. This is what Republican fascism calls “freedom.”
When you think about the fact that Trump was willing to sacrifice an entire press pool and his WH staff members to stay safe, it isn't too much of a stretch to believe that he was behind the murder of a fireman who was hit by a fatal bullet during a staged assassination attempt in an effort to get sympathy votes.
I’m seeking an official oversight visit with a bipartisan Senate Delegation to the USS Lincoln to investigate the reported alarming conditions.
Unlike Donald Trump, I've seen active duty. The way he's treating our service members as he carries out this illegal war is not just disgusting; it’s dangerous. These sailors are owed a sense of when they will go home.
The stories of crew members threatening to jump off the ship are a frightening alarm bell as to how bad the situation has become: moldy showers, sporadic hot water, rationed meals and soap, broken toilets, and grueling 12- to 16-hour shifts with no days off.
Congress must do its duty to provide oversight and hold the administration accountable for these actions.

Trump killed our military. Our armed forces are in distress. No ammunitions left, long deployments, death and defeat at the hands of Iranians. Now seamen are trying to jump overboard amid extended deployment. Drag that sleep-walking asshole out of the White House. https://t.co/IYXS2HKTCE
I still can't get over this. Trump and his top aides like Hegseth knew of a credible SAM threat to shoot down AF1 and they didn't warn the other passengers on the jet. They just let them take off as a decoy.
This is absolutely shocking. 🚨👀
According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency:
A deadly brawl broke out aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln following a visit from a US Central Command adviser. 😲
The confrontation involved crew members using knives and other bladed weapons, reportedly leaving seven sailors dead and several others injured.
Tasnim also reports that some sailors attempted to jump overboard, amid growing psychological pressure from prolonged deployments and isolation at sea.
CENTCOM is hiding this from the public.
South Africa has launched an Electronic Travel Authorisation system. The digital travel permit is linked directly to a person's passport and is designed to make travel faster and more secure. Border Management Authority Commissioner, Michael Masiapato says it will help process legitimate travellers, identify fugitives and tackle irregular migration. Tune in to #eNCA #DStv403.
This is remarkable and incredibly worrying for democracy. A French government agency detected interference from an Israeli firm in the Scottish Parliament elections, but the UK Labour (friends of Israel) Government won’t release more info in case it harms relations with Israel.
It's hilarious how during @realDonaldTrump FAKE assassination, he was able to stand up and yell, "Fight, fight."
But during a REAL assassination attempt, Trump was able to squeeze into a catering cart, and whisper, "Hide, hide."
And MAGA worship this coward.
🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Text messages from a sailor aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln reveal no milk in three months and ROTTEN food arriving at sea...
He reportedly wrote that almost nothing fresh makes it out except meat, because only frozen goods survive the supply run, and called it the worst deployment he has been on, with sailors who have far more behind them agreeing it could still get worse.
Add that to the list of grievances, and they become almost too numerous to enumerate...
No hot water for long stretches, laundry down for weeks, hour-long lines at the ship's store, one sailor eating half a cup of rice and two tortillas.
Multiple sailors have reportedly attempted to jump overboard, and one wife said her husband sits on medical hold now, terrified a 13-year career ends in a dishonorable discharge because he burned out.
The costs that don't make the gas sign are the ones Americans are actually paying: a thousand dollars a year gone from the average household, eighteen service members killed, and interceptor stockpiles run down to nothing.
All of it rides on the bet that Iran breaks first, which raises a question nobody in Washington wants to answer about who breaks first back home.

Light a candle for Karoline Leavitt as she leaves the job of WH press sec as perhaps the biggest liar of all time for Trump. Way to go! https://t.co/Jyc7VQJdIK
President @CyrilRamaphosa delivered remarks at the launch of South Africa's Electronic Travel Authorisation at OR Tambo International Airport in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.
The President underscored that visa reform was not simply an immigration reform but an economic one that speaks directly to jobs. Referring to the latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey released by Statistics South Africa, he highlighted that unemployment, particularly among young people, remains the greatest challenge facing the country, and that every reform must answer whether it helps create work and expand opportunities for South Africans.
He outlined how more visitors mean more hotel bookings, fuller restaurants, more tour operators starting businesses and employing others, more flights, more conferences, more exports and more investment, all of it creating opportunities for South Africans to earn an income.
Delivering remarks at the launch of South Africa's Electronic Travel Authorisation at OR Tambo International Airport, President @CyrilRamaphosa noted that the system will make travel to South Africa easier, faster and more predictable, recalling a live demonstration in which a traveller was processed in under a minute and left beaming at having been received so efficiently and respectfully.
The President explained that the reform will encourage tourism, support trade, attract investment and facilitate skills and knowledge exchange, while strengthening the integrity of the country's borders and improving migration management.
