Trump’s Demented Waves & Racism Are Connected @Acosta Acosta youtu.be/KhVj2TZOZJo?is=69Ul… via @YouTube

Two weeks ago, @Acosta broke the story about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” I joined him to discuss the risks.
Today, CNN reports the Pentagon authorized DHS to test it.
Having worked at DHS and the Pentagon, I find this horrific and deeply concerning. Serious questions remain unanswered.

Rosie O’Donnell on Trump: “The man wearing a diaper who is very physically and mentally ill is asking someone else if they are sick because they asked a legitimate question. It’s really unreal what has happened. We will make our voices known on November 3rd, too big to rig. He’s grifted billions of dollars from the United States people and from bribes for pardons and for favors from other nations”
@rosie is back on the show LIVE, along with Maine Democratic Senate candidate @TroyJackson207 xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1XxygwdbB…

"Trump explicitly extorted voters by offering a billion dollars in settlements to military families — but only if Republicans win. I'm not kidding."

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @Acosta and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.”
After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling.
A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians?
Why does DHS need this?

Camp Lejeune veterans and their families have been pleading for help for years. Their stories are heartbreaking.
I wrote about them here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…
The president says here that he will only fund help for these families if his party does well in an election.
Trump on Jon Husted: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
As first reported by yours truly, which CNN does not mention cnn.com/2026/10/21/politics/…
