Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get married to the same sex. Don’t like gender-affirming care? Don’t have any. Don’t like Planned Parenthood? Don’t go there. Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be able to it.

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare? Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

The use of inappropriate clothing and weaponry that makes them look more like military cosplay terrorists than actual government agents performing a garden-variety low-risk domestic police action is both intentional and incredibly dangerous.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

The median age of U.S. homebuyers has surged from 31 in 1981 to 56 in 2023, per NAR data via Apollo. This sharp rise signals worsening affordability for younger buyers and suggests structural challenges in the housing market that may warrant policy intervention.

We can’t get into all the details just yet, things are still unfolding, but here’s what we can say: staff from Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have been trying to assert more control inside federal agencies, especially within the Interior Department.

Solicitor General John Sauer has now represented to the Supreme Court that Elon Musk is “not part of” the U.S. DOGE Service. An interesting representation considering how Trump described Musk’s role on Feb. 19: “I signed an order creating [DOGE] and put a man named Elon Musk in charge.”

If you are okay with the US committing war crimes and crimes against humanity abroad, then you are okay with it committing it at home. There is no system in place to hold the leadership accountable and the domestic apparatus has proven incapable. Sign the Rome Statute.

Trump is demanding that a U.S. company "EAT THE TARIFFS." These are the tariffs he insisted China would pay for, no? Why is the U.S. president suddenly taking China's side in his own trade war, at the expense of an American company?

This absolutely deranged, delusional, demented & completely unhinged & insane Trump screed was posted this a.m. while the MSM breathlessly talks about BIDEN’s mental deterioration. Biden on his worst day ever is not a scintilla as crazed, mentally ill or deteriorated as this. This is batshit crazy.
