From Wikipedia

In March 2025, Gabbard, along with other senior members of the administration, discussed the plans for the US's attacks in Yemen on a Signal group chat that leaked to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg.[297] When questioned by Congress, Gabbard admitted sharing the information with Goldberg was a "mistake", but claimed none of the information shared was classified.[298] After the Signal leak, reporters of Der Spiegel used online leaked data to find personal information such as emails, phone numbers, and messaging accounts of several U.S. security officials including Gabbard, who was exposed on WikiLeaks and Reddit.[299] Gabbard’s office responded that Gabbard had not used the online accounts for several years and that her data leak occurred nearly 10 years ago, but Der Spiegel reported that Gabbard's private Google account was active two weeks prior, and that messages sent by Der Spiegel to her leaked WhatsApp and Signal accounts were also apparently delivered.[299]

Gabbard's nomination was met with controversy.[250][251][252] Media coverage was widely critical,[253][254][255] and Democrats raised concerns about her past meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and remarks perceived as aligning with Russian narratives.[256][257] Critics, including former CIA Director Leon Panetta, questioned her lack of intelligence experience and opposition to U.S. involvement in Ukraine.[258]

The New York Times noted that while Russian media had amplified Gabbard's foreign policy views, there was no evidence of collaboration with Russian intelligence, and she had opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[259] Democratic congressmen, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Jason Crow, Tammy Duckworth, and Elizabeth Warren, labeled her a "likely Russian asset."[260][261][262][263][43]

Over 100 former national security officials signed a letter opposing her nomination.[264][265][266] Gabbard's spokesperson dismissed these concerns as politically motivated attacks.[267][265]

Hedgpeth and the team at the Post continued that work, publishing a series of stories that revealed the sexual abuse of at least 1,000 Native American children at Catholic boarding schools and more than 3,100 childrens’ deaths at boarding schools across the country.

They've also assisted in the bombing of Yemen to my surprise. I don't follow military operations closely, so I was shocked to hear about joint operations with the US.

I can't keep up. Which one is the Russian spy?

It's okay because there's an R next to his name. It wouldn't shock me if people were fully aware of his views. The abortion argument works for women here and the men here were sold at "child marriage."

Rep. Hardy Billington, R-Poplar Bluff, was among the few who spoke against the bill, arguing that barring pregnant teenagers from getting married would increase abortion rates.

“We all claim to be pro-life here in the body,” Billington said. “Now we’re going to vote on this bill where babies are going to die.”

Disgusting. What a pitiful excuse to enable the trafficking of children. I'm ashamed to live here. There's no fucking guarantee that it would even increase abortion rate, this guy is a closeted pedophile looking out for his ilk.

Apparently he's been spouting this bullshit for at least the past year. Not to mention he's also a homophobe.

I'm open to the possibility. Innocent until proven guilty.

Failure to train my ass. Those bastards are completely aware of what they are doing to these women and taking advantage of their own authority. This country would rather see these pigs kill their house pets and sexually molest their own kids before ever demanding a shred of accountability. We've all seen the type of shit that gets posted to bad cop no donut on the daily. The benefits to working that kind of job is bound to continue attracting more assholes.

Edit, need to back up. American here. Is this a problem in Australia too?

It'd be such a shame if the people donating accidentally had their info revealed to their employers.

I assumed siloh, let me check.

Update-looks like I'm mistaken. The family of the child. They have a statement prepared to deliver on May 7. So I guess we wait and see what's the deal.

Shiloh Hendrix called an autistic 5 year old n***** and got $600,000.

Edit: the NAACP opened a fund raiser for the child and the family request it be taken down.
