Not suspicious at all. 😬
If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔

Actually, this is the relevant issue
They can’t force him to resign his office
But most importantly, he has the right of free speech and that “trumps” all the bullshit. Trump and Hegseth are spewing.
And they know it!

“He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection.

Wait, you mean getting the Covid vaccine can help prevent autism? As in “the exact opposite of what the warped mongrels running HHS said”?
NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

Always remember that the conclusion of THE BRAINWASHING OF MY DAD was that they got their dad back from Rush and Fox by just subscribing him to a bunch of progressive news emails.
My grandfather went through a period where he was tuning into Rush Limbaugh to “know his enemy,” and let me tell you it did NOT improve his thinking.
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).

Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

I have a background in financial crimes detection. Krugman is absolutely right. There is no reason to want an unregulated financial system other than crime.

This incredibly irresponsible alcoholic idiot is calling for 500 additional troops in Washington. Because that won't incite more violence.

Everything about this silly "Secretary of War" is about saber rattling and pretending he is so strong. He really must have been picked on in school.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.

Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.

It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!
