The vast majority of our military does not support such fringe ideas. The Pentagon report says "the number is low in a force of more than 2 million." No one knows actual numbers because "the Defense Department won't track" them. It's really unsettling.

'Cruelty TV' the perfect description of modern politics. They don't actually want to solve immigration or crime; they need the endless performance of cruelty to feed their audience's addiction to rage. The suffering IS the point, not a side effect. Thanks for your post.

When private equity vultures get access to $12 trillion in worker retirement funds, it's not 'democratizing investment' it's democratizing bankruptcy. They've perfected the art of buying companies, loading them with debt extracting fees, then watching them collapse. They want your 401(k) for dessert
Here is the first big move in the next financial scandal where everyday citizens all get screwed and the wealthy get richer. I suspect that somehow the republicans will get their hands on SS before this one is done.

Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference

When Australian journalists can investigate American corruption more freely than American journalists, you know the fix is in. They can ask the Epstein questions our own media is too intimidated, bought, or compromised to pursue. Truth has to be imported now.

This perfectly exposes what's really happening: these governors aren't concerned about crime at all. They're using their National Guard as political props in Trump's authoritarian theater. If they actually cared about public safety, they'd deploy those troops in their own high crime cities.
Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C.
Governors of three states — Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia — are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...

Ohio, South Carolina, and West Virginia sending troops to 'save' DC from crime rates lower than their own cities is pure theater. They're not fighting crime they're performing loyalty to Trump while their own constituents dodge bullets back home. Political grandstanding over public safety.

This American hero has the integrity to admit to truth even in light of knowing he'll be arrested and they send 20 officers like he's El Chapo. Meanwhile, actual war criminals get pardons and our president is meeting with the man who put a bounty on American soldiers heads.

Miller has consistently shown she's more interested in national culture war talking points than actually representing Illinois accurately Getting fact checked about your electoral reality is just embarrassing but totally on brand for someone who seems to live in an alternate reality most of the time
A Republican lawmaker in Illinois was hit with a wave of fact checks on Saturday after she posted an electoral map that misrepresented the political realities of her own state.

The irony is perfect an Illinois congresswoman who apparently doesn't understand Illinois politics well enough to post accurate information about her own state. It's like she's so deep in the right wing information bubble that she's lost track of basic facts about where she actually works.
