George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” wapo.st/4dZY8UL

@BarackObama Wow. Thats your take on trying to turn a very even state to a very one sided one by creating ridiculous “shapes” to gerrymander the map. You can’t possibly think that a 6-5 state now can “fairly” be redrawn to be 9-2 or 10-1……..

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
English
@glenn_tunes No there’s not. That would be like us not supporting you because we didn’t like your leader…..we wouldn’t do that……we saved your continent and have continued to do it for a half century. Believe me, we didn’t like lots of your leaders for most of that time.

AS A NORWEGIAN I WANT TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO EVERYONE IN AMERICA, WE NEVER REFUSED TO SUPPORT AMERICA 🤷 WE REFUSE TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 🤷 THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE 👍

Was on 18 for the final group and playoff, absolute scenes. But the USA chants are TERRIBLE. What’re we doing???? This isn’t the Ryder Cup
No love for Fitzpatrick when he has a literal Harbour Town lighthouse head cover is sad. I get the Scottie love, but should be similar

Eight children murdered — ages 1 to 14.
This is a moral failure. It’s preventable.
How many more kids have to be killed before the @NRA stops paying off politicians?

🔴This is ABSOLUTE BRAVERY 🔥
🇺🇸Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism."
What a COURAGE 🔥 👏

@BillKristol I’m not sure if I have ever seen someone with a bigger case of TDS. Name one thing Trump has done that you agree with? Surely there’s something. You’re a journalist right?
English
“They wanted to close up the strait again…as they've been doing for years,” Trump said Saturday. But Iran hasn't been closing the strait "for years." To the contrary. The Strait is closed because of Trump's war. It's an indictment of his policy, so he lies about the history.
English
@jaketapper Not that simple Jake and you know it. They use that infrastructure to terrorize the world and build the machine of terror using that infrastructure.
English
Trump tells Iran that if they don’t agree to his “very fair and reasonable DEAL” the US will “knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran.“
Targeting civilian infrastructure is widely considered a war crime under the Geneva conventions.
English
@ChrisMurphyCT And you have no business in the Senate. You pull for the adversary and criticize every single thing our President and military do……there should be a line that you don’t cross in war and you are miles past it.
English
We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
English
@ChrisMurphyCT Man you really hate America don’t you? You haven’t had a briefing, notes from negotiations, anything at all and you don’t support our military at all. Almost like you don’t really care about our service members serving and protecting you at all.
English
So now WE are closing the Strait. This is - just in case you were wondering - as dumb as it sounds.
It’s a classic case of one tragic mistake begetting another because of out of control hubris and pride.

To summarize: • US Navy will blockade Strait of Hormuz • Will interdict vessels that paid Iran a toll • Will destroy mines laid by Iran • "Other countries" will be involved in blockade • "The Blockade will begin shortly."

@JohnFugelsang Wow. Go try Iran for a week. Let’s see how it goes for you.

I’m shocked that such a smug abrasive condescending no-talent as JD Vance failed at diplomacy
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
JD Vance: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement ... they have chosen not to accept our terms"

@mmpadellan They put the rotors on them after getting them off plane. Don’t rebuild them…..
English
I'm not a mechanic, but I'm fairly certain it would take longer than 10 minutes to rebuild 3 helicopters.
Why LIE about these things? You diminish credibility, and diminish the efforts of our troops.
The whole thing sounds sus.

@davidaxelrod You can’t bring yourself to just say great job across the board can you? Who do you think made the call to go with the rescue?
English
As he has throughout his tenure, Gen. Caine put the credit where the credit was due--with the heroic young U.S. service people who rescued the downed airmen in Iran--without blowing smoke up the butt of the Commander-in-Chief.
He's a professional.
Quite a contrast to the SecDef.
English
@davidaxelrod @POTUS Nope, they never stopped cheating and you know that which makes your post even sadder. They have never abided by anything that have ever said or signed for 47 years ago except 2 things. Death to America and Death to Israel. You’re better than this.
English
The @POTUS says he ripped up the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement "without much thought."
That much is true.
Under that agreement, Iran surrendered 97% of its enriched uranium, retaining a small amount of low-enriched material; D/Ced 13k advanced centerfuges and a heavy-water reactor; and submitted to intrusive inspections.
They're program was enfeebled and frozen.
When Trump ripped up the agreement, they resumed enriching uranium to much closer to weapon grade.
Maybe a little forethought would have been a good thing???
English
@jemelehill Do you not realize we spend Trillions! Not just Billions on Americans…….You need to educate yourself.
English
@TerryMoran The blatant lie here is you claiming to be a journalist.
English
There is a blatant lie here, Mr. Censor.
Trump did not win a "landslide victory."
He won the popular vote by 1.5%--among the smallest ever, 5th smallest margin in the 32 elections post-1900. A middling electoral win. You can look it up. But you were groveling, not informing.

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

@leftcoastbabe You know that this is 100 percent Democrat shutdown. Republicans want all of it open!
English
CEOs of major US airlines wrote Congress a letter urging them to end 29-day partial government shutdown that has 50,000 TSA officers working without pay.
Democrats HAVE a bill to fund TSA, FEMA & Coast Guard.
GOP is blocking it.
English
@SenPeterWelch So you want the agents and their families to be killed or attacked? You do understand that’s exactly what would happen, right?
English
Republicans would rather not pay TSA agents and the Coast Guard than make ICE agents wear identification like your local police department does.
