If Pete Hegseth were Impeached & convicted he would be removed from his position as Sec Def. The Senate could go a step further & vote that he can hold no Federal Office, which would prevent him from being "gifted" a Senate seat from Marsha Blackburn, should she be elected Governor of TN. #Hegseth
Oh look the convicted rapist and alleged child molester says "[the victim of child molestation/rape] is fair game." Who knew. He deserves the death penalty if convicted of crimes in the Epstein Files.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."
MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔
@maddow.bsky.social I've read articles how Elon Musk's IRS earnings are $85K/year. He takes tax credits for his 12 plus kid and gets $ back. If he only makes $85k, how can he give $300 million plus in campaign contributions? As a federal contractor he can't donate to political campaigns. Explain

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last mo.WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
~ 30% of Americans still support this fascism. Those who now disavow him after voting for him, will fall for this bullshit again. I won't forgive them and I'll never trust them. We should shame them and make it so they're opinions are never taken seriously again. I have zero f's to give.

@asharangappa.bsky.social I can't figure out how, a search warrant could be approved for a decades old crime, supposedly committed by her now dead father. You need to show that evidence of the crime is at the place to be searched, due to recent observations. What would that evidence be?

Never let someone tell you that you must excuse owning enslaved people or participating in killing Native people because someone was "of their time". Silas Soule was of the same time.
