Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

The Trump administration cut funding for disaster preparedness there because of “DEI..”

A tweet from Lu for Alaska reads: “NW Alaska evacuating in case you watch mainstream news and don’t know what’s happening up here.” The attached image shows the inside of a large military cargo plane packed with people sitting on the floor, many wearing coats and holding children, as they appear to be in the process of evacuation.

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

My humble request would be that all those U.S. journalists who spent the last week credulously reporting on Trump's "success" in the Middle East simply because he gave a grotesquely premature victory lap unanchored by any actual accomplishment retire permanently from the practice of journalism today

"They framed us as ‘terrorists.' So that’s kind of crazy. Naturally, that’s crazy.”

I could kinda buy any other President pretending they’re shrugging off 7 million people hitting the streets to convey they hate him, but not the guy still beefing with Rosie O’Donnell.

The GOP’s Utah redistricting power-play might be its most egregious yet. Not because the most seats are at stake — only one is at stake in Utah. But because of the lengths it goes to put raw political advantage ahead of respect for the will of voters. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/thi...

This is the Most Brazen GOP Gerrymander Yet

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone “hated America.”

I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.
