‘This is largely a fake story,” Vance said.’ A story fueled by Hegseth’s original post. Love to see MAGA infighting…

I'll take this long overdue win. 'The amendment by Virginia Sen. @kaine.senate.gov & Indiana Sen. Todd Young, a Republican, was approved by voice vote... a unanimous endorsement for ending the war that many now view as a mistake.' apnews.com/article/cong...

US Senate unanimously endorses repeal of 2002 Iraq war resolution

The Senate has voted to repeal the resolution that authorized the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, following a House vote last month that would return the basic war power to Congress more than two decades ...

😑 DOGE for the win! 'Despite the high-profile efforts of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the 2025 federal fiscal year ended with the federal government having spent more money than it did in the previous fiscal year' - via @ericboehm87.bsky.social reason.com/2025/10/10/a...

After all those DOGE cuts, federal spending still increased by $300 billion

For the fiscal year that ended on September 30, the federal government spent more than $7 trillion and ran a $1.8 trillion deficit.

'“Our government is kidnapping people,” Dexter says, “and holding them in incredibly inhumane situations.” ...CBP told Rolling Stone...agents “arrested Kenia Jackeline Merlos at Peace Arch Park as she attempted to smuggle illegal aliens into the United States”... this notion is nonsense.'

'The story of Jackie Merlos is singular and conscience-shocking. “They literally disappeared her — kept her from due process in the presence of her four U.S. citizen children, @repdexteror.bsky.social', via @timdickinson.bsky.social in @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
