BREAKING: @KristiNoem says Trump's journalist chopping buddy MbS isn't allowed for play dates anymore.
I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign

I think they'd have to shut down Farragut station if Moody's dumbass idea were to pass. And DOJ LITERALLY admits these poor props couldn't actually do anything useful. Just "passively" deter crime and pick up trash.

BREAKING: Ashley Moody's BRILLIANT solution for when CIA partners get hung out by the CIA and retaliate against American targets is to ... shut down the Metro stations the Guards were "passively deterring crime" at. Jeebus these people are painfully stupid.
Enough is enough. Our federal law enforcement should never have to fear being ambushed while carrying out their duties. My Halo Act will establish a 25-foot buffer zone for these officers, ensuring they can perform their jobs safely and without dangerous interference.

Adjudged liar Greg Bovino: The Seventh Circuit didn't overturn the findings I'm an adjudged liar nor did they rule on the case, but rather than lying about something I don't understand I'll just say something pathetically stupid.
@emptywheel The 7th Court of appeals didn't think so. They stayed the lower court decision and said nothing about lying. When judges actually look at facts, like the higher court did, facts become obvious. Maybe don't dwell on the losing opinion, dear.

I love how adjudged liar Greg Bovino keeps misstating the posture of the case, or even what appeals courts do. Pathetic little troll. And an adjudged liar.

Whiskey @PeteHegseth claims he has the back of the guy he's blaming for the murder.
Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting

Wow. @KristiNoem says Native Americans--the descendants of whom banned her from their lands--built the railroads, for other Native Americans. Does this lady EVER get tired of looking painfully stupid in public?

Reminder that this guy is an adjudged liar.
@David_J_Bier More fake news David. Our ICE and Border Patrol rely on a compendium of facts as they conduct legal, ethical and moral operations despite your arm chair quarterbacking and peanut gallery-esque commentary. You're starting to become comedic with the uneducated rhetoric.

BREAKING — He lied. More charitably, he was happy to pass on Hegseth’s lie.
We told the Washington Post that this entire narrative was false yesterday. These people just fabricate anonymously sourced stories out of whole cloth. Fake News is the enemy of the people.

Remember that time @davidsacks wailed and wailed and wailed for a bailout for SVB. Something about this moment feels similar.
They’re spiraling.

Understand that to avoid the most obvious murder charge, Hegseth is hanging someone else out to dry.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order? LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his

Now @SenEricSchmitt is claiming that stealing is not a crime. Far right wing white men, I tell you. Zero personal accountability. Zero respect for the law. They're just thugs with billionaire paylords.
Arctic Frost revealed the ways Biden's DOJ was weaponized against Americans whose only “crime” was being Republican. We ought to have Watergate-style hearings on this for MONTHS with criminal referrals. It’s past time for accountability. We need action.

The far right wing consists of nothing more intelligent than drooling banshees screaming at heroes.
Unhinged.

Will you talk about which murderers like mayonnaise and which murderers don't like mayonnaise? Scintillating podcasting. Your children will really find it enlightening when they understand the moral debt they owe bc of their parents.

WOWOWOW. @KatieMiller is going to invite the guy her spouse conspires to murder people with.
The dynamic couple @SecWar & @JennyHegseth answer the tough questions on the pod tomorrow: Who’s harder to negotiate with? Would he want to go through another Senate confirmation hearing? Who calls him late at night without fail? TOMORROW | 6PM ET

We're talking about how Donald Trump gave him asylum and then @CIADirector's CIA left him hanging. We're talking about how under Ratcliffe, people from around the world who helped the United States have been sold out. Are YOU talking about that, @RepTenney?
Two brave service members were shot in broad daylight near the White House. The attacker came in under Biden with no real vetting. Are Dems even talking about this? Even they should be able to admit these threats are real & their silence is putting Americans at risk.

Reminder that @TriciaOhio gets caught lying her ass off on a daily basis. Utterly shameless liar.
Under @KathyHochul New York has refused to honor @ICEgov detainers and RELEASED back onto New York’s streets 6,947 criminal illegal aliens since January 20. The crimes of these aliens include: -29 homicides -2,509 assaults -207 sexual predatory offenses -199 burglaries -305
