Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent person in the Trump regime — with the exception of Trump himself — and a clear and present danger to the entire world
If Trump won’t fire him, Democrats should impeach him when (hopefully) they take over the House and Senate next January.

From the start, there was every reason to believe Patel was nominated for the role specifically to undermine the three traditional pillars of the FBI—its Fidelity, Bravery, and, especially, its Integrity.

I, as a US taxpayer, am paying a quarter of my income to drop bombs on starving children in Gaza & Yemen. Meanwhile, another person just died of measles in Pennsylvania. I am in a constant state of boiling rage
Breaking news: The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, the largest single sale of the controversial munitions in recent years, a U.S. official told The Post.
Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years

After 9/11, the United States built a vast, powerful, and generally unchecked national security apparatus.
Now, Trump is using agencies and emergency powers that sprung up in the aftermath of the 2001 attacks to threaten domestic dissidents and anyone else he views as an enemy.

NEWS: Trump's war in Iran has cost taxpayers almost $40 BILLION and drove nearly HALF of inflation.
It's a conservative estimate, excluding damage to U.S. bases, destroyed munition supplies, and higher costs like gas and groceries—per the Congressional Budget Office.
