Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Kash Patel's trip to the Olympics:
“The video is ridiculous, and it was completely inappropriate for him to be engaging, to go at all…Horrible, horrible message to the FBI rank and file…And a horrible message to the country”

I understand FBI failures better than most. In fact, a failure by the FBI resulted in the Parkland shooting. @FBIDirectorKash, you are a disgrace. While you spend time getting drunk, the FBI needs leadership. I hope nobody dies because of your inability to provide it.

Kash Patel deserves a gold medal, too... for wasting tax payer money, and world class hypocrisy.
What a disgrace for our FBI Director to be passing this off as ‘official business.’

My goodness has he delivered at his first Olympics. Whatever the score, whatever the placement, Gogolev can be proud of everything he’s done in Milan.

🚨SCANDAL: Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick laughed when asked about Jeffrey Epstein.
He claimed he cut ties in 2005 because he was “disgusted.” New files show he KEPT DEALING with Epstein and EVEN went to the island. He needs to resign.
This is no laughing matter.

Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

A palpably good young man, who spent his life serving our veterans as an ICU nurse, senselessly gunned down--and slandered in death--by his own government.
This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA.
To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness.
What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country.
Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.
Please share this far and wide...
"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.
"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."
"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.
“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”
Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.
Please like and share.
