The Trump admin says ICE has custody of migrants sent to Guantanamo, but it's DOD guards in Camp 6, a war-on-terror prison. It won't say who is being held incommunicado there, but we are publishing a list of 53 men in Camp 6. w/ @carolrosenbergnyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Again, buyer beware. Trump has neither the authorization nor an appropriation to fund this, and is bound by a law limiting the value of such payments to $25K. Inducing people into an agreement you can’t and won’t perform is called “fraud in the inducement.”

New: FBI employees have sued the Acting Attorney General James McHenry, accusing Justice Dept of violating the Constitution and privacy laws by demanding agents complete a survey allegedly designed to “purge” bureau personnel involved in investigations related to President Trump and Jan 6 attack.
Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?
Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is." Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social I will be following your lead, LFG🔥
All working together for the New World Order. Read @jim-stewartson.bsky.social Best guess I have read about what's happening & why.
From 2017. Truer now than ever.
Today’s front page of the largest newspaper in Quebec, Canada and they nailed it 🤣🎯
Every attacker in these pictures are free and forgiven by Trump. Americans turned their backs on us. I don't know if I can ever forgive us for this. Forgiveness or not... I'll keep fighting because it's what's right.
Mediocre, unqualified Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blames DEI for the crash—because they want the most qualified. As if we have pilots and air traffic controllers without degrees. Or training. How does anyone take this man seriously? For anything!
Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.
You are so pathetic @RepMariaSalazar. You voted for this. You campaigned for this evil. You did this. Your constituents will now understand how you lied to them and brought this into our communities.
The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
The serial sexual abuser who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy has already appointed a lifetime Supreme Court seat to a man credibly accused of sexual assault, and now he’s appointed a man who has been credibly accused of sexual assault to lead our armed forces. 😞
I have never heard of a more DEI hire than a drunken, National Guard domestic abuser being elevated to run the entire military...
