Here is that Commander who was "just following orders."
Today is a very bad day. We have learned that Hegseth ordered the killing of people clinging to the wreck of the boat he ordered destroyed. If a straightforward, open, and thorough investigation of this alleged crime is not immediately commenced, we know we have an atrocity on our hands.

This statement is way outside of CIA’s lane and erosive of the ethical norm that intelligence should be non-partisan. If that norm vanishes, intelligence loses a very large portion of its value.

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Periodic reminder that the original head of Hillsdale College divorced his first wife to marry his mistress, an employee.
While married to wife #2 he was alleged to have had an affair with his own son’s wife who committed suicide on campus.
They’d prefer you not know all that though.

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.
Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."
