🚨 Trump’s golf course hearing took a stunning turn as a top Interior Department official claimed he learned about Trump’s construction plans from Truth Social. The judge also ordered him to preserve his personal phone after a surprising revelation about who was sending him golf course designs. meidasnews.com/news/trumps-g…

Pete, Americans fought the Redcoats because they didn't want to be ruled by a king. They fought the Nazis because fascism and blind obedience to a supreme leader were threats to civilization. And they fought terrorists to defend a constitutional republic where liberty, religious freedom, and the rule of law actually mean something. You managed to recite 251 years of American military history and somehow miss the central lesson. Our service members swear an oath to the Constitution, Pete. Not Donald Trump. Not you. Not whichever political party happens to control the government. And while you're giving speeches about defending America against tyranny, your own Vice President is on television asking, "Who's gonna stop him?" when discussing presidential authority. That's a rather spectacular misunderstanding of what generations of Americans volunteered to defend. You know the names of the enemies, Pete. It's a shame you seem to have forgotten what we were fighting for.
.@SECWAR "For two hundred fifty-one years, Americans have RAISED THEIR RIGHT HAND AND SAID, 'SEND ME.' SEND ME TO FIGHT THE REDCOATS. SEND ME TO FIGHT THE NAZIS. SEND ME TO FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS. AND NOW YOU SAID, 'SEND ME' TO DEFEND MY NATION, TO FIGHT AGAINST WHATEVER THREATENS OUR SHORES, OUR INTERESTS, AND OUR PEOPLE."

As a major in Afghanistan, I was Chief, Ops & Tng (S-3) mentoring the Afghan National Army, serving beside troops from the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Poland, Ireland, Luxembourg & even Mongolia! No one EVER said this!
Hegseth on Afghanistan: I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters. It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there. Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations. In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths. t.co/x4tGhxJiFG

Jesse Watters - Paxton has a whiff of corruption around him. I've included a news segment that includes details about a child sex offender, Adam Hoffman, who was given an extremely light sentence by Paxton's office. Hoffman also did not need to register as a sex offender in TX

This is not the kind of thing that’s said in any healthy democracy.
Vance: The president has a lot of authority because, the reality is, who's gonna stop him?

Maybe Tommy should ask where the president's allegiance is because it looks like its to Russia.

This is Tommy.

WOW, what a clearly biased post from network TV. Do you even know who Tommy is? He’s the son of a very prominent Republican operative named Timmy Teepell. Tommy was a staffer for Josh Hawley.

Tommy may just have made Abdul El Sayed a senator.
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

The law be damned, Trump is going to close East Potomac Park on Nov 15. The "redesign" eliminates picnic areas, bike lanes, playgrounds, everything to give the rich a fancy golf course. Completely illegal, too - the park was created by Congress for the people
Trump announces plans for the redeveloped East Potomac Park golf course.

It's funny how Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are running on "Fixing Texas" when the Republicans have controlled the entire state for 30 goddamn years

So now the “free market” is the U.S. threatening other countries if they don’t purchase a product from Trump’s preferred oligarch?
European companies face “devastating” retaliation from Washington if Brussels presses ahead with plans to restrict American rivals such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX from parts of the European market, the US ambassador to the EU warned in an interview with @FT’s @BMoens and @HenryJFoy.

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action. This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm. Wonder what’s changed?
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

So they're using starlink to aid and abet the enemy and they're using Instagram to censor no Kings freedom of speech. Did I get that right?

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” — George Orwell, 1984 Defense contractors & their powerful lobby will never be satisfied with simply aiding the U.S. in building a strong military that is prepared for war. The nature of the industry’s existence is not patriotism, but endless conflict. War is their business model—a perpetual state of war ensures a perpetual demand for their products. Until we address this issue, we will continue to be subjected to forever wars that only serve the defense contractors—and the warmongering interests wealthy enough to rent the defense contractors. Stop spilling American blood for profit.
Asked about the Iran War's effect on defense stocks, Lockheed Martin CEO says: "Investors need to know and understand that this demand is not fleeting — it's permanent."
