@TonyStark Similar to Republicans picking one judge in Amarillo, Texas to make rulings for the whole country to stop Biden's executive orders, but when Judge Boasberg rules against Trump, it's time for Congress to not only prevent judges from making the same kind of ruling now, but to Trump to try to impeach him and any other judges who dare to cross this admin, and for the Speaker of the House to suggest dissolving whole district courts. AKA rules for thee, not for me.

Military Wife Rips Hegseth for Risking ‘Husband’s Life’ in Viral Videos

The wife of an active duty service member slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth... Trump, and Republicans...

“There hasn’t been a single night that I haven’t cried myself to sleep for my husband’s safety, and the safety of other service members ... just for being in the military with these people in charge,” ...

AWOL #GOP congress critter Kevin Kiley (MAGA-CA) is whining and crying on his blog about Indivisible holding empty chair town halls (because he refuses to hold real ones). And oh, boo hoo, he can't handle all the calls he is getting from the constituents he wants to screw out of #SocialSecurity. They were just supposed to go meekly die I guess.

It's a clown-show security error, of course, but does being able to see someone's Venmo contacts matter?

Sure

as security pros note in this story, it shows lots of soft targets that a malevolent actor could spoof

PayPal password for the US Secretary of Defence, anyone? Oh dear. https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/hegseth-waltz-gabbard-private-data-and-passwords-of-senior-u-s-security-officials-found-online-a-14221f90-e5c2-48e5-bc63-10b705521fb7#ref=rss #Privacy #Security #USA

When Matt Gaetz was video casting via his personal phone from inside the congressional SCIF, that really should have been a clue as to just how little anyone should trust Republicans with national security.

Meanwhile Whiskey Pete Hegseth proves unqualified white Christian men DO harm military readiness.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Her name is Rumeysa Ozturk, she's a student from Turkey, and even her lawyer doesn't know where she is right now.

God announces that Canada has just launched a billboard offensive in MAGA states, with giant roadside signs information MAGA voters of something they are reluctant to learn — since they voted for this to be done to them:

"Tariffs Are A Tax On Your Grocery Bill."

I'm not saying you should vandalize Teslurs, but it would be funny if the cops think Kanye did it.

Danish travel company Albatros ends all travel to the US. Chairman Rasmussen:

"We sincerely love the US and its people, and look forward to returning once the US elects a leadership of decency, respect and responsibility.

When Trump explains his aggression towards Greenland with security, he reveals himself as a compulsive liar.
[…]
Trump and his cronies' treatment of president Zelenskyy, the hideous pressure on Ukraine and the indecent cowering to the Russian psychopath speaks for itself."

So it turns out that Michael "Reply All" Waltz, Trump's national-security advisor -- the guy who accidentally invited the editor of The Atlantic into a Signal chat to reveal top-secret military plans in realtime ...

... also had left his Venmo "friends" list comppletely public

Wired discovered this and reported it, whereupon the account went instantly private: https://www.wired.com/story/michael-waltz-left-his-venmo-public/

(in other news, Wired continues to kill it)

As Robyn Pennacchia reports, RFK Jr. is commissioning a study of the nonexistent "link" between vaccines and autism.

And, unsurprisingly, to head that study he has picked a man who is not a doctor nor a scientist, one David Geier, who has been in trouble for practicing medicine without a license.

As with so much about the Trump administration, nothing to see here, more along.

In a world where it’s easy to be consumed by bad news, leave it to a nation with the population of Carson City, NV, to show the rest of us how to stand up to a bully.

Brace yourselves, I am going to use swear words:

Mother fucker just openly & extensively mocked a reporter for wearing a mask.

#Trump #POS #PublicHealth #COVID

Republican presidential administrations did both

I friggin' LOVE Tammy Duckworth!!!

Nah, let the decorated veteran and senator who lost her legs in combat for our nation curse out the SecDef who put US pilots in harm’s way so he could flex on an insecure party line

If anyone has earned the right to curse out Pete fuckin’ Hegseth it’s Tammy fuckin’ Duckworth
