🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Pete Hegseth fired the Secretary of the Navy yesterday.
The reason: he refused to ignore a federal judge’s order.
The judge ruled that punishing Sen. Mark Kelly for reminding military officers of their duty to refuse illegal orders violated the First Amendment.
Phelan followed the law.
Hegseth fired him for it.

@RoxaneLGibson1 But if she’s Not Voting, what is the problem? That’s one Less Republican Vote.

Remember Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX)?
The 81-year-old congresswoman hadn't cast a House vote since July 24, 2024 - missing app 6 months. A tip led reporters to find her living at Tradition Senior Living in Fort Worth, an assisted/independent living facility with a memory care unit on site.
OUR CONGRESS SUCKS AMERICANS DRY
Her son confirmed she was experiencing 'some dementia issues' late in the year. Staff at the facility called it 'her home.' Her office cited unforeseen health challenges. Raises questions about transparency for members of Congress.

Maybe it's time for them to Clock-In and Out to get paid and term limits/age limits.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. represents New Jersey’s most competitive district this November — but nobody, even his GOP colleagues, can say where he’s been since March 5. His team said he is facing unspecified health issues. Kean has missed almost 50 roll call votes. The other NJ Rs, Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, told me they have called and texted Kean out of concern for his health. But so far, neither said they have heard from him. Van Drew said it’s been “radio silence.” w/ @danieljhan_ politico.com/live-updates/2…

NAVY secretary Phelan reportedly fired for “ignoring illegal orders” from Hegseth!
America is a joke right now. So sad.

BREAKING: Fox News just reported that Pete Hegseth fired United States Secretary of the Navy John Phelan because Phelan would not ignore a federal judge's orders! "Hegseth and Phelan reportedly butted heads when Phelan refused to ignore a recent federal judge’s ruling that said punishing Senator Mark Kelly for making a video which he reminded military officers of their constitutional duty to not to not follow illegal orders would violate his First Amendment rights."

United Airlines' CEO is pitching a mega-merger to swallow up American Airlines and create an airline twice the size of its nearest competitor.
That's not competition. It's consolidation—and consumers will pay the price.
I’m pushing back.

Eric Trump's business partner on robots they sold to the Pentagon and concerns about autonomous weapons systems: "There are situations where you would need almost no human loop, where we would have to be able to rapidly deploy these technologies and we cannot always be calling a CEO to ask for permission before we do it"

Every time Scott Bessent is on screen I get the same vibe I do watching true crime documentaries.
I think someone needs to check this guy’s freezer, for real.

This is the question the whole world posed:
”Why is the USA incapable of removing an obviously insane and incompetent president?”
Moreover:
How can republicans accept to lie with Trump as their modus vivendi?

Eric Trump -- the president's son -- is on Maria Bartiromo's show bragging about one of his companies landing a $24 million Pentagon contract

A small indigenous tribe needed a political favor.
So, they donated $2 million to Trump and hired Trump’s allies as high-priced consultants.
That indigenous tribe paid the bribes and got the favor.
This isn’t government.
It’s a corrupt auction.

Spirit is a shit airline constantly in bankruptcy.
Why is it worthy of a taxpayer funded bailout?

For how long can corrupt and senile madman and liar Trump stay US president?
Don't US republicans have any morals or even sense of self-preservation?

Can someone tell me how anyone can possibly justify pardoning this monster? Please give me one good reason.
Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi@CongressmanRaja
Any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell—a convicted sex trafficker shopping testimony to help Donald Trump—would be an affront to justice and a betrayal of every survivor. We need to listen to the women Maxwell abused, not a man she socialized with.

What asshole decided to use taxpayer money to bail out Spirit Airlines?

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

The Trump administration tried to hide the contract facilitating the fundraising for his $400M White House ballroom.
Well, it’s not secret anymore. And what’s clear is that the contract allows wealthy people with business before the government to contribute—often anonymously.
That means a wealthy donor that needs help from the Trump administration on a business matter could contribute to Trump’s ballroom and receive favorable treatment.
It’s a system ripe for corruption.

After being listed as an "invited witness" for a Weds House hearing on Trump's mass deportations, Stephen Miller won't be testifying after all, a committee spokesperson confirms.
Neither will Tom Homan, who was also an "invited witness."
Boo.
