CNN Anchor Wrecks Trump Defender in Brutal On-Air Shaming Over Jan. 6
As CNN’s Jim Acosta crucifies a MAGA lawmaker over Trump’s January 6 pardons, a press critic reflects on why we don’t see more of this—and how this failing has enabled pro-Trump propaganda to succeed.

As a 26-year Veteran, I fully concur with Janessa Goldbeck’s comments about Mr. Hegseth’s unfitness to be SECDEF. Well said, Marine.
Please take a moment to read and share this thread. 🧵
As a Marine Corps Veteran, Pete Hegseth’s nomination is deeply personal to me. His divisive rhetoric, lack of expertise, and disregard for core military values—merit, professionalism, and mission readiness—make him dangerously unfit to lead our Armed Forces. 🧵 (1/6)

Joni Ernst Says She Will Vote to Confirm Pete Hegseth
The Iowa Republican’s decision dramatically increases the likelihood that Mr. Hegseth will have enough votes to be confirmed as President-elect Donald J. Trump’s defense secretary.

Stewart's opening bit is on target but the piece that starts at 4:00 spears Repub hypocrisy over Fed aid to CA fire victims. No bigger hypocrite than Sen. Bill Haggerty, calling for Fed aid for TN hcane victims, no strings, but demanding CA meet GOP political whims. Check out Stewart, funny and sad.

Based on 26 years in the Navy, seeing numerous servicemembers punished, denied security clearances and restricted from nuke weapons duties for much less than Hegseth is credibly charged with—alcohol abuse, sexual assault and mismanagement of funds-he is without a doubt, unfit to be SECDEF.

Hegseth hearing takeaways:
1. Incomplete FBI background check.
2. Background check not shared w/committee.
3. Refused pre-hearing mtgs with Dems
4. Only 1 round of questions.
5. Question dodging. No answers to yes/no Qs
6. Reversed previous positions.
7. No answers to personal affairs charges.

I have serious concerns about Pete Hegseth’s background, including his mismanagement of non-profit organizations, accusations of sexual assault and drinking problems, blatant disregard for the contributions of female service members, and support for war crimes and torture.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
