“In effect, Trump took to the airwaves, pointed his finger, and said: Quiet, piggy.” Thanks, @radiofreetom.bsky.social
For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like
Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

He's lying. How do we know?

Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.
Hegseth on the second Sept 2 strike: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret full unedited of that to the general public"

He blamed a man for getting murdered so this checks out.
Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House.

On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.”

On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

An exceptionally well-researched piece on Stephen Miller by @gregsargent.bsky.social. It’s well worth your time. The irony that Greg points to is that the Miller-Trump immigration approach will make America less great, less prosperous & untrue to its best traditions.

Rep. Smith: They have released 15-20 different strike videos. Release the video of the strike. There is nothing classified about the roughly 30 seconds where you see the two people on the boat before the strike hits. He is flat out lying to say that that is classified information.
