In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Höcke claimed that "Hitler was regarded as only bad.” He has been convicted twice by German courts for using Nazi slogans. And at one point his own fellow AfD leaders thought he was too extreme for their party. But he’s hero to Elon Musk.

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

submitted 12 hours ago • 31 comments

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

I know it was hard to tell at the time and hindsight is 20 20 but one early sign that maybe these Dems shouldn’t have voted to confirm someone who Trump 2.0 picked for a cabinet level post is that Trump had picked them for a cabinet level post www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Hey, condescending Dem strategists, just checking in on how the whole "approving some Trump nominees to create space so GOP politicians can vote against the worst nominees" plan is going. Just, uh, want to run down the checklist here. Remember, being emotional gets in the way of effectiveness!

On congestion pricing, the correct framing isn't that the Trump admin killed it, it's that the Trump admin announced that they're going to TRY to kill it. This is going to court, and there's no guarantee Trump is going to win there.

New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Trump is blocking the Associated Press from the Oval Office. Rather than stand up for freedom of the press, the rest of legacy media is taking advantage of AP's absence. When this inevitably leads to AP cutbacks, the same legacy media will lament the plight of media decline.
