The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them. Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him. Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals. He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

Brian Cox says "they don't like women" in America and "the patriarchy is a f*cking mess." "They won’t let a woman be president, not in the foreseeable future. Look what happened to Hillary Clinton. The patriarchy is so invasive and so insidious, it’s hard to throw it off. I think the patriarchy is a fucking mess, and it’s the patriarchy that got us into the position that we’re in at the moment, and we don’t learn the lessons. I say, give it over to the women.” (via The Times of London) variety.com/2026/tv/news/b…

@TPWSpodcast It’s absolutely a 2K mandate. They prioritize monetizing their games. As much as I love the dev team and know they are passionate about wrestling, they work for 2K. The best for gamers long term would be for the license to go elsewhere.

Here's the thing. I hear this and see this A LOT. But... They have analytics that show people play this mode. They designed it to make sure you don't miss events. Creating FOMO in the community. Id honestly suggest just not giving into it. I think the majority of fans that hate it. Doesn't outweigh the whales that spend the money. That's why we keep seeing price increases. They are pushing it to see just how far people will go. Just don't buy into it. I honestly dont believe its the developers making the prices or the call for pack odds. Keep that in mind when GTA finally comes out. After all... It's the same company, lol.

@GameVolt1 @UniqueMazique how can you guys justify these prices? This is not ok, it takes away from the other stuff you guys have been doing to make the mode better.

47,500 for Sapphire and 25,000 for Emerald. Good luck to anyone looking to get those Personas after the MFP nerf. #WWE2K26

This is why voting matters. I don’t ever want to hear anyone say “meh, not really seeing how it does anything” ever again.

RT if you miss having a President with empathy

Hundreds of U.S. personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the U.S. launched a war on Iran just over a month ago. CENTCOM has sent outdated statements on casualty numbers. interc.pt/4cm5Ua4

3 total generals fired today. They are refusing to put troops in Iran.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, some of whom are seen as having been targeted because of their race, gender or perceived affiliation with Biden administration policies or officials, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) on Americans struggling with rising prices: "Maybe get yet another job"

Absolute bombshell on CNN. A former federal prosecutor confirms AG Pam Bondi pulled agents off counter-terrorism to scour the Epstein files and redact Donald Trump's name. She orchestrated a massive cover-up to protect the President and obstruct justice.

This week, 450,000 New Yorkers will receive notices that they will lose essential healthcare as a direct result of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. My Democratic colleagues and I opposed this GOP bill and predicted this exact outcome. Despite our warning, every single New York House Republican voted in favor of the bill. They are directly responsible for the hardships our constituents are about to encounter, but would rather dodge the ire of the President than serve those that elected them.

The Trump administration has abruptly ended a Veterans Affairs home loan safety net, causing 10,000 veterans and their families to lose their homes: "When you lose your home, your house, nothing else matters... We didn't know that the foreclosure sale went through until somebody knocked on the front door."

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
