This is not governing.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

The current government officials are incompetent grifters and they suck.

Our founding fathers could never have imagined the asshats that ended up in office.

I saved this and went and looked. I don’t have the time to screenshot and alt text or link every single post that does what you claim they aren’t doing.

Maybe your implicit bias needs managing because you’re stuck in lack mindset.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

I have some nice wooden beautiful protest signs to buy from the Demoncrat Protest Store and need the cash.

However, Hegseth’s airplane windshield was damaged and he had to land on way back from a NATO related meeting.

Looks like the website is … bare. But the news still got out.

Maybe the Pentagon needs the media more.

Screenshot of a webpage from war.gov, labeled as the official website of the U.S. Department of War. The page heading reads “Today in DOW.” Below a date selector set to October 15, 2025, the section “Open Press Events” lists categories including Advisories, Releases, Contracts, Transcripts, Speeches, Publications, and Headlines. Each category states that there are no items available for October 15, 2025, except “Contracts,” which notes they are published daily at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

They can do their jobs better not being there.

They don’t need Hegseth’s comments spewing lies.

They will get go back to the core of journalism - gumshoe reporting. They have sources.

This is probably a good thing. ⬇️

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes threatened legal action against Mike Johnson for failing to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.

"Arizona's right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate."

If the No Kings protest is anti-America,

You bet your ass. It’s anti-Trump’s America.

And it’s protected speech.

What does a Marxist look like?

Hamas supporters again? Come on.

Antifa? 😑 This is what Antifa looks like, last I checked.

An elderly World War II veteran wearing a beige jacket, red sweater, and black cap adorned with military insignia and the word “Liberty” sits outdoors surrounded by blurred onlookers. A red ribbon with the French Legion of Honor medal hangs from his jacket. His white beard and solemn expression convey quiet pride. The caption identifies him as U.S. WWII veteran Donald H. Carter, photographed after receiving the Legion of Honor during the 81st D-Day anniversary ceremony on June 6, 2025, at Utah Beach in Normandy.

Republicans refuse to pass a budget that lowers health care costs and puts everyday families first over billionaires. That's why they've been AWOL for 26 days.

Meanwhile, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are here in D.C. ready to work for the American people and reopen the government.

It's critical that we share the harsh financial realities so many of our families face to show Republicans that they must negotiate an end to their healthcare crisis.

First it was a $200 million ballroom.

Now he’s trying to build a grand arch on the Washington Mall—without Congress's input.

Creating a new D.C. museum or monument is supposed to be a collaborative process. Because these places belong to *all* Americans.

Trump treats them like his property.

Trump eyes a triumphal arch to mark America’s 250th anniversary

The arch would be constructed across from the Lincoln Memorial, on a small patch of federal land currently occupied by a traffic circle.

Q: A judge in Florida issued a restraining order against Cory Mills for threatening and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Do you think this is an ethical violation?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have not heard or looked into the details of that. I've been a little busy.
