“Reasonable minds can disagree about the 2020 election” No, they cannot. Biden won the 2020 election. You either recognize that, or you’re a simpering conspiracy theorist.

I’m going to say this real slow for @MikeJohnson: The Iranians control the Strait of Hormuz BECAUSE of Epic Fury. They have this leverage BECAUSE Trump went to war without a plan. The American People are paying hundreds at the gas pump because YOU refuse to stand up for them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Mike Johnson: "The president has declared Operation Epic Fury to have concluded, and now we're working on the next project, which is getting the Strait of Hormuz open. We don't expect that to be a warfare activity, so to speak. So we've got to allow the administration time to negotiate these things. I don't think Congress needs to get in the way of the administration."

.@RepDonBacon "Why did we pull 2 armored brigades out of Eastern Europe?" "I'm not on the policy side here" "But you are the Chief of Staff of the Army" If he's this fucking clueless maybe he shouldn't be Chief of Staff of the Army

Rep. Don Bacon says he received a call from Poland yesterday about the cancellation of a US armored brigade to the country, and that they were "blindsided": "They called me yesterday, they did not know, they were blindsided," he told Army leadership during a HASC hearing. "These are some of our best allies and they had no idea. They still don't know what the plan is." Background: cnn.com/2026/05/14/pol…

@halbritz @DanLamothe Wild. Imagine packing up your household and ending your lease in advance of a EUCOM rotation and then finding out a few days before you leave that it’s canceled.

Acting Army Chief of Staff Gen. Chris LaNeve told lawmakers today that conversations about the cancellation of these deployments and the decision to do so were made "relatively recently." “You say recent — when you say recent, you mean 10 days, or two months?” Republican Rep. Austin Scott asked. “Yeah, it’s probably been within the last two weeks,” LaNeve said, also confirming advanced elements of the brigade were already overseas and equipment was in transit.

A memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth abruptly cancelled the deployment of 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team to Poland; the deployment later this year of a long range fires battalion to Germany; and directed the removal of multi-domain command personnel in Europe. Prepared DOD talking points on the change viewed by CNN said the Europeans “have not stepped up when America needed them,” and that “recent Germany rhetoric has been inappropriate and unhelpful.” cnn.com/2026/05/14/pol…

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives:

Because all of them will be fine based on their massive amounts of personal wealth and stock trading. No sacrifices are being made here. It’s just a drop in the bucket to them and performative slop. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Senate Republicans passed legislation to make sure no member of Congress is paid during a government shutdown. If Democrats decide to hold federal workers hostage again, they’ll have to give up their paychecks as well.

Trump is basically suing his own admin with this lawsuit, so the DOJ is negotiating a settlement with themselves, to create a $1.7B slush fund for Trump. This violates the Constitution's Domestic Emoluments Clause. The grift is insane.

NEWS -- President Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, sources tell me @PCCharalambous @alex_mallin abcnews.com/US/trump-poise…

Women make up 20% of the military. 5:1 ratio, you’d think your eye would be drawn to the pot bellied, bald, derpy men first. Nope. The ponytail is a beacon. Queen of the pick me girls.

Lost in the news this week: the real story behind Palm Beach International becoming Trump International is not the renaming. It is the coercion that produced it and the extraordinary terms hidden inside the deal. County staff told commissioners that refusing would put state transportation funding and grant assurances at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who crossed him. That is the climate one Democratic commissioner cast her deciding vote in. And the agreement itself is not a normal honorary naming. The Trump family company retains the right to pick vendors, license the name to third parties, and sell branded merchandise off-site. This is not an honor bestowed as much as it is a shakedown. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Over 3 months ago, Trump & Rubio implemented an oil blockade of Cuba, with the hope of bringing about regime change. And yet the only change they've succeeded in forcing is a humanitarian crisis that is punishing the Cuban people, not the regime. The blockade must end.

That is from the enlisted oath, not the officer oath. And you got me. I never served, just cosplayed and happened to get paid by the Department of Defense during that entire time. Anyway, you’re 0-2. Log off and go to bed. Try again tomorrow.

Quoting from the Oath of Service: "... and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice." I'll vote that Travis Akers @travisakers is a lying, treasonous oath breaker. (Assuming he ever served.)

The President’s militarization of the streets of D.C. violates D.C.’s right to self-government, is based on a lie and is un-American, authoritarian, ineffective, unlawful, unnecessary, wasteful and unfair to the members of the National Guard and their families.
Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton@EleanorNorton

Today at 2:00 I'll question DoD officials about how exactly the Trump Admin's massive DoD spending, including the cost of deploying National Guard troops to DC, furthers its stated goal of reducing waste, fraud, and abuse.   Watch: bit.ly/3RC3goE

I have been saying this since 2019. Elon's feedback loop has been broken since he bought into his own cult of personality and became satisfied with these people (sycophants) praising him.
Faiz Siddiqui@faizsays

New: The top X account Elon Musk has interacted with in 2026 is an anonymous user The Post traced to India who spends his days lavishing praise on Musk, spreading his ideas & interests and attacking his enemies. It's a case study in X's skewed incentive structures.
