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.
Not an immigrant. Not Trans. Just another white male Christian preying on children.
Meet MAGAt "Christian superstar" Zachary Joseph Radcliff, the former youth and music director at Oakwood Church in Michigan who is currently sitting in jail on a $3 million bond. Before his world unraveled, Radcliff’s public persona was deeply embedded in the MAGA movement. He proudly showcased his pro-Trump politics, utilizing Donald Trump's post-assassination fist-pump photo as his profile picture and eagerly sharing a photo on stage with Donald Trump Jr. at CPAC, captioning it as a moment he would "never forget."
The contrast between this public political identity and the horrific criminal allegations Radcliff faces is stark. The Michigan State Police investigation revealed that beneath the "family values" and "protect the children" political branding, Radcliff was allegedly operating as an egregious predator. He now faces a massive indictment of over 60 felony charges, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct, child sexually abusive activity, and using a computer to commit a crime. Prosecutors allege that since 2011, he used his religious authority to groom and abuse children between the ages of 12 and 17, forcing victims to record sexual acts and send them to him via Snapchat and email.
The severity of these specific charges raises profound questions about the consistency of the movement's rhetoric. The contrast between high-profile political messaging regarding child safety and the reality of Radcliff's alleged actions serves as a flashpoint for public debate regarding institutional accountability and political hypocrisy.

🚨TRUMP WILL HATE THIS: Hakeem Jeffries just reminded Americans that Trump LIED ABOUT LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
“He promised to lower costs on day one… costs have gone up.”
He promised no war. We’re in war. He promised lower inflation. It’s higher. This is Loser Donald’s record.
Six months after the killing of her son, Alex Pretti, his mother is sharing a heartbreaking message about the grief she says has only deepened with time.
In an emotional post marking the six-month anniversary of Alex’s death, she writes that no one has been held accountable and says her family has never received an apology or even a single phone call from government officials, hospital personnel, or the Minneapolis Police Department. At the same time, she expressed profound gratitude for the overwhelming support her family has received from people around the world, urging others to continue speaking out and never forget what Alex stood for.
Her full statement:
“Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex’s murder. No-one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the Mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain? Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?
And yet the out-reach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you’ve all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I’m here, you will never be forgotten.
For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don’t forget to spend time with those you love…”
Today’s simple truth: climate change portends a cascade of financial market collapses that would destabilize the national and global economies.
We should all be able to agree on that.
ICE agents pulled up on this black man at a McDonald’s & if you notice they blocked him in without any reason to stop him except his color & he was in an expensive car. He showed them his ID & they then they questioned if it was fake. Another guy asked where his car was from.
Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.
For months, Senate Republicans said Jack Smith "spied" on Congress and broke the law.
A judge just unsealed the files. Inside: routine phone records—that a call happened, when, how long. No message content at all.
They lied. Here's the proof:

Hello @ElonMusk. This is how you are perceived. Not too late to course correct but it’s getting pretty late. You certainly have the extra money on hand to really help the people of the world instead of the hellbent road of chaos and destruction you are ludicrously barreling down. Put down the Ket straw. 🤪
