Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The mistake most people make (but @elienyc.bsky.social does not in this article) is assuming that Trump and Musk are trying to socially engineer US society. They aren't. Their goals are far more mundanely venal. Musk just wants to own everything, and Trump just wants to be loved.

This. Trump isn't doing Putin's bidding because Putin has blackmailed him and Trump feels like he has no choice. He's doing Putin's bidding because he venerates Putin and wants Putin to like him. Putin will never like him, of course, but he will pretend to in order to get Trump to do what he likes.

"Republicans are evil and Democrats are supposed to be good, so it's useless to expect better from the former" is one of those things that sounds reasonable until you realize it always manifests as "Republicans aren't responsible for their actions and Democrats can be screamed at for anything."

After the State of the State yesterday, I headed over to a roundtable discussion to hear how pharmacy benefit managers have driven the cost of prescription drugs up at the expense of families. This is an industry that needs regulation. Illinoisans need and deserve nothing less.

"Test cannot be done while RJ45's sceezers are not totally pressed. Any disobeys may lead to a permanent damage of the end." (From a user manual on a network cable tester.) I implore all of you, to avoid permanent damage of the end, to always totally press your sceezers.
