All the high ranking women military leaders who the Trump administration dismissed are better qualified to be defense secretary than Pete Hegseth. So much for the charade of merit based hiring. An excellent example of gender discrimination to the detriment of the security of the American people

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

It is no coincidence that so much of the US is poor, and the rich have gotten so rich. Stop looking down to find someone to blame. Stop looking at your neighbors to find someone to blame. LOOK UP. Inequality is destroying us.

You want to seriously address waste and fraud, build better government systems. Here’s how. DOGE isn’t reducing costs and improving things for the American people. It’s a grift by billionaires to get huge tax cuts at the expense of middle and low income Americans

Shift your subscriptions to NPR, a good local paper if you have one or many of the excellent other news services. Oh and drop Amazon

This is relevant and will likely be helpful for LA to heed the experience of others. Many in Northern California have experienced these wildfires and have valuable insights. People think stuff like this will never happen to them. Everyone should assume something like this will happen.
