So @PeteHegseth leaks U.S. war plans in a group chat—using what appears to be an unauthorized, encrypted app (Signal), which federal employees aren’t even allowed to have on government-issued devices—
and his first move isn’t accountability, it’s to attack the journalist who exposed it.
No facts. No denial. Just straight to “fake news,” like every good little authoritarian when they get caught.
Journalists brought receipts. Pete brought vibes.
And MAGA will believe him—not because he’s credible, but because they don’t care about the truth—only loyalty.
This isn’t patriotism.
It’s fascism.
Discredit the press. Deny the facts. Demand obedience.
1. Attack the free press – Discredit the journalist, not the facts.
2. Frame accountability as betrayal – Anyone exposing wrongdoing becomes “the enemy.”
3. Claim moral superiority – Call the journalist “discredited” without evidence while offering none of your own.
4. Exploit tribal loyalty – Demand allegiance over truth. “He’s on our side, so facts don’t matter.”
This is not about national security—it’s about control. Hegseth, an unqualified DEI hire in camo cosplay, is trying to shift blame for a leaked military operation by launching a propaganda attack on the press.
Déjà blue, n. The sinking feeling of depression at realizing that half the country is willing to forgo competence and character in the most important job on earth
@billmaher How sad, 30% of Americans believe that scientists, scholars, historians, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving them, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud and exhaustively documented lying is their only beacon of truth and honesty.
Holy mackerel that @Samitamimi cook book Falastin is a work of pure genius. Even dreamed I was having an affair with @ottolenghi last night and felt like I was cheating. Husband says either would be a good choice 😂 #welovefood
After listening to the President’s lawyers opening arguments, I have three observations:
They don’t contest the facts of Trump’s scheme.
They’re trying to deflect, distract from, and distort the truth.
And they are continuing to cover it up by blocking documents and witnesses.
Pleased with my 2019 palomino Fürst Jazz x Dream Boy filly Poptart (AKA Fürstingold) would be an absurd understatement 😍💛 Thank you so much @elitestallions & @NewtonStud for making it happen (in the right colour & sex)👌🏻 ♀️🧬
@PippaRoome @thetift Pippa, I think what @thetift means is “Oh yes, sorry, I see that you were right and I apologise for my mistake and my unnecessarily rude and abrasive tweet. The horse world loves and appreciates you.”
