The #Pentagon says the unnecessary deployment of #NationalGuard members & #Marines to #protests over #immigration raids in #LosAngeles is costing $134M.

After persistent questioning from #Democrats in #Congress on Tues, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who provided the total & said the money will come from operations & maintenance accounts.

Rep #PeteAguilar asks #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth about the deployment of #NationalGuard troops to #LosAngeles, #California, & the verified news reports they do not have funding for #food, #water, #fuel or #lodging.

Then #Hegseth attacks #GavinNewsom & spouts tired #propaganda that #protesters are "rioters, looters & thugs" rather than people legally expressing their #FirstAmendment rights with the usual handful of opportunists joining in.

He cares so much than the soldiers are sleeping on the ground... just like hime after few drinks.

anyone who speaks against Trump is considered to be in rebellion. LA is at risk of rebelling against Trump and his executive orders. The overthrow of Trump is what Many seek...
He's gotten away with a lot worse with less legal right. Who's going to do what about it?
in reply to Nonilex

Gaslight Theater presents Hegseth calling the people protesters who AREN'T rioting, AREN'T looting and ARE the ones getting beaten up by thuggish law enforcement, "rioters, looters & thugs".

Take a bow, Pete, and have another drink.

This isn't just stupid - it's blatant market manipulation. The second Meta is no longer considered a "growth" company its value will crater, so Zuckerberg basically does nothing except trying to keep that myth alive, no matter what lies he has to tell.

A remotely responsible press should be covering this only as such & the tech press shouldn't be covering it at all.

In a laboratory setting, humans have accelerated particles — protons, antiprotons, electrons, and positrons — to incredibly high energies: up to the TeV (trillions of electron-volts) scale.

But cosmic rays, also including protons, electrons, and other atomic nuclei, are produced up to far greater energies, at the PeV (quadrillions of electron-volts) scale and beyond.

These very high energy cosmic rays are produced somewhere in our own galaxy:
in natural, astrophysical particle accelerators.

Here’s how the Universe makes the highest-energy particles of all.
