Hegseth is now without a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor, less than 100 days into his tenure. A "senior defense official" suggested he made poor choices for who to trust in his inner circle, with another saying there would likely be more "chaos" to follow soon.

Respectfully, Senator, have you been paying attention?

This is not going to blow over. Our democracy is hanging by a thread and we demand a leader capable of rising to meet this moment.

Elon Musk doesn't want you or his investors to see this video.

It would piss him off bigly if you shared it because Tesla's already in something of a death spiral.

By the way, it's a fantastically interesting video & includes Space Mountain technology & Disney secrets.

POWERFUL!
WATCH this! Then tell the Republicans in Congress that while they're burning down this house, there's people still inside they swore to serve.

We all deserve better. We all know the wealthiest among us don’t need another tax cut!

Do u or someone u love use Medicaid?

People need to understand what Trump's budget the Republicans have proposed for the long term would mean in their everyday lives.

So what are they using this Medicaid cut money for?

They're using this to give tax cuts to a bunch of billionaires.
