Trump decree paves way for ‘Muslim ban’, targeting pro-Palestine students

President Donald Trump has signed a directive that civil rights advocates say has laid the groundwork for another US travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries.

The executive order, released on Monday, may also be used to target foreign nationals who are already in the US legally and international students who advocate for Palestinian rights, experts say.


Ex-TV host, conspiracy theorist Pete Hegseth confirmed as new US defence secretary

Former Fox News personality, military veteran and conspiracy theorist Pete Hegseth has been narrowly confirmed as the next US defence secretary in a 50-to-50 vote in the Senate that was broken by a tiebreaker cast by Vice President JD Vance.

During confirmation hearings earlier in January, Hegseth was asked whether he supported Israel’s war on Gaza.

“I support Israel destroying and killing every last member of Hamas,” said Hegseth, whose 2020 book, American Crusade, depicts Islam as the historic enemy of the West.


New US defence secretary once accused of chanting ‘kill all Muslims’

We reported earlier that Pete Hegseth – a former Fox News personality, military veteran and conspiracy theorist – has been confirmed as the next US defence secretary following a narrow Senate vote.

Last month, The New Yorker magazine published the details of a previously undisclosed whistleblower report on Hegseth’s tenure as the president of Concerned Veterans for America from 2013 to 2016.

In addition to accusations of sexual misconduct, creating a toxic work environment, and being intoxicated while performing official duties, Hegseth is also accused of drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!” while at a bar in Ohio during the early hours of May 29, 2015.

When confronted during a Senate Committee on Armed Services confirmation hearing on January 14, Hegseth labelled the accusations “anonymous false claims”. US Democratic Senator Tim Kaine highlighted in response that many of the accusations were not in fact made anonymously.

During that same hearing, Hegseth was also asked whether he supported Israel’s war on Gaza.

“I support Israel destroying and killing every last member of Hamas,” said Hegseth, whose 2020 book, American Crusade, depicts Islam as the historic enemy of the West.

"I never thought I could see this happen, and it's sad because (Musk) has lots of power. He has lots of input with the president of the United States," Moskovic said, in an interview.

"I would have never thought this would happen in my lifetime, and it's happening. It's scary what's happening right now in the United States."

It's such a big stress relief knowing a real president is back especially now hearing Johnson's testimonial about Biden not even knowing what he was signing

🇺🇸 The US Senate has confirmed South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, per The Hill. Noem has opposed aid to Ukraine, calling it a "strategic mistake" in 2023, and has also spoken against sanctions on Russia.

Elon Musk's DOGE got an easy target: Republicans plan to reinvestigate January 6. Now that's a complete waste of resources.

As somebody who reluctantly voted for him (reluctant given his racism, but Oz was obviously worse at the time) even I am surprised how much of a POS he's turned out to be. Can't wait until 2028 when we can primary him.

Lol, I didn't even know he was racist as far back as then, I thought he seemed cool at first but even before the election he was starting to become a massive dickhead, I've seen some worried he will switch to Republican but I honestly doubt it, I think he loves the attention and has just taken the role of Sinema but if he switched Republican he would be like any other dickhead Republican and blend in with the crowd, by being a Democrat he gets the attention he loves as the annoying Democrat, that and he's clearly a massive asshole.

Basically he was racist enough to hold a black jogger at gunpoint in 2013 because he obviously profiled him. Which is why even though he used to have social democratic political-economic views (a positive in my eyes), I didn't like him and voted against him in the 2022 primary.

Living in the Pittsburgh area (close enough that I've even seen him in person before) I've heard many other stories of how much of an asshole he is.
