You know the difference between the guy on the photo and Pete #Hegseth? Hegseth has the *right* gang tattoos.
The text at the end of the post is copied rather than shared, at previous poster's request, and lightly edited. Feel free to share my post, though, with commentary intact.
You know this was always their endgame. The bullshit answers #RFK Jr. and his fellow loons gave Congress were even more transparent lies than all the other confirmation hearing testimony. Everyone who voted to confirm them shares the blame, but Bill #Cassidy has earned a special place in hell.
#Bondi, #Hegseth, #Noem, and all the rest of the cabinet are all assholes, and profoundly dangerous. Justice and Homeland Security are slaying their thousands, and Defense is gearing up to slay its tens of thousands. Health and Human Services is chuckling at them and saying "amateurs."
I'm skeptical that any amount of lobbying #HHS directly, or any of its sub-departments such as #FDA, #NIH, and #CDC, will have much effect. But maybe, just maybe, calling your #Senators and #Representatives will have an effect.
Let's face it, members of #Congress will suffer a lot less from idiocy like #tariffs than the rest of us, and they're (probably) safe from roundup and #deportation. #Viruses don't care about such distinctions. Mighty and humble alike can choke to death on their own liquefying lung tissue.
#Antivaxers are not "skeptics." They're not interested in evidence. They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, and they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Marty Makary and Tracy Hoeg at the FDA are currently trying to set a policy that would effectively eliminate all covid vaccines. They want to require a full clinical trial every year for companies to update the covid vaccine to match the current strain, which they know is not possible.
Please contact the FDA and demand continuing access to yearly updated covid vaccines and ask for the Novavax 2025 covid vaccine to be approved.

#Republicans are trying to hand #Trump and #Hegseth a $150 billion #SlushFund with no plan.
"Have we lost our minds? $150 billion out of the mouths of children who are not going to get a school lunch. That's what's happening here."
@JugglingWithEggs well, #hegseth and #medvedev have something in common, the both drink and talk crap on social media.
‘The defense secretary [#Hegseth] added the program was “pushed by feminists and left-wing activists”, claiming “Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it.”
‘But the decision is raising some eyebrows as the initiative was established during #Trump’s first administration when he signed the Women, Peace and Security Act in 2017’

#Starmer decided yesterday to join the military actions in #Yeman led by this man….a person drunk on his own power, deliberately telling lies about an initiative bizarrely created by #Trump in his first term:
“This morning, I proudly ENDED the ‘Women, Peace & Security’ (WPS) program inside the [Department of Defense]. WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING.”

Wo bleiben eigentlich die Strafen für alle Chatteilnehmer der #signalgate Affäre? Die MAGA-Paranoiker haben #signal schließlich in voller Absicht vorbei an den erlaubten Kommunikationssystemen genutzt.
Damit wurden willen- und wissentlich von jedem Teilnehmer Geheimhaltungs- und Dokumentationspflichten verletzt. Trotzdem hält sich die Presse vor allem an #hegseth.
In der Causa #chelseamanning und #julianassange war die Strafverfolgung doch auch problemlos möglich.
#Hegseth has taken Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou off of the library shelves, but left two copies of Adolf #Hitler’s Mein Kampf in the library.
Just consider that for a minute: midshipmen can now read the #antisemitic manifesto of one of history’s most evil men but god forbid they read the autobiography of a Black woman recounting her lived experience.
Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth boasted on social media Tuesday that he had dismantled a program supporting women on security teams — and may not have realized the program he tried to break was not a “woke” Biden-era initiative but instead a celebrated program signed into law by his boss, President Donald Trump.

Hegseth dumps a Pentagon program from Trump's first term.
What I find amusing from this anti DEI panic is the ads for military recruitment still running on the streamers. Minorites and women are still wanted, according to the ads.

“You cross our border illegally, you will see them,” #PeteHegseth said of the signs on April 25,…speaking to cameras for #propaganda later posted to the #DOD’s X account. “It’s clearly posted. And when you ignore them, you will be prosecuted.”
#Hegseth said Friday that he met the #USAttorney in #NewMexico, Ryan Ellison, & that the prosecutor “can’t wait” to begin charging those who cross into the area.
I bet #Hegseth would fire the commander of the USS Harry S. Truman after the loss of a $69M FA-18 if it was a female officer. Blaming it on DEI bullshit.
Gavin Duff is the commanding officer of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.
#Republican Representative’s #TownHall Blows up in His Face
by Edith Olmsted
Mon, April 28, 2025
"Republican Representative Mike Lawler wanted to impose order during his town hall Sunday, but no amount of rule-setting could have spared him from the fury of his constituents.
"The New York Republican displayed a list of guidelines outside Clarkstown South High School in West Nyack, New York, where he was hosting his first town hall of the year.
"The list required attendees to provide proof of residency in New York’s 17th district, prohibited 'shouting, screaming, yelling or standing,' and encouraged them to 'be respectful of one another, of staff, and of the congressman.'
"But in the end, Lawler still faced tough criticism over his deference to President Donald #Trump—often in the form of shouting and insults.
" 'What are you doing to stand in opposition to this administration? And what specifically are you doing that warrants the label ‘moderate?’ asked one constituent, a video on X showed, as the crowd of roughly 700 people erupted into cheers.
" 'My record speaks for itself—' Lawler began, sending the audience into raucous laughter and jeers. As Lawler continued to limply defend his supposedly moderate record—ProPublica has found that he voted in line with MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene 81 percent of the time—his constituents refused to quiet their anger.
" 'Folks, if you want me to answer the questions, let the question be asked, and then listen to the answer,' Lawler said. 'If you’re just going to yell back and forth, the time is gonna run pretty quick.'
"Lawler told his constituents who had expressed concern about Trump’s escalating trade war and 'reciprocal tariff' policy that the president was simply responding to an 'affordability crisis.'
" 'What caused record inflation? Five trillion dollars in new spending in the first two years of the Biden administration is what gave us record inflation,' Lawler said, drowned out by the sounds of booing from the crowd.
"Constituents also expressed anger about the president’s inhumane #deportations and his attacks on U.S. #universities and colleges, Secretary of Defense Pete #Hegseth’s mounting scandals, and concerns that Republicans were planning to make major cuts to #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid."
