Proud Boys ex-leader Enrique Tarrio arrested for assault near US Capitol. Capitol police said officers saw Tarrio strike protester at gathering he attended with Oath Keepersā€™ Stewart Rhodes. #Voices4Victory www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Extortion, pure and simple.

Civil-rights lawyer here. In my business, this is called prima facie evidence of invidious race & gender discrimination. And the other chiefsā€”all white menā€”are comparators. The evidence in support of the discrimination claim includes Trumpā€˜s own ā€œDEIā€ statements admitting to discriminatory motive.

TRUMP DID THIS..............

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesnā€™t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraineā€™s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didnā€™t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

trump has plenty of course words about a Catholic Bishop who asks him nicely to "have mercy," but Putin hits a Chernobyl nuclear power plant with a drone, and he says *checks notes* NOT A FUCKING THING. What a weak, punk ass bitch.

The Hawaii Innocence Project took up his case, and during a hearing this week it argued that Cordeiro must be released on the grounds of new evidence proving his innocence, ineffectiveness of his previous attorney and prosecutorial misconduct.

President Donald Trump in a sometimes tense meeting Friday with the nationā€™s governors pressed them to enact the death penalty for drug dealers and issued a threat to Maineā€™s Democratic chief executive over her stateā€™s law protecting transgender people from discrimination.

Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump cannot, for now, remove a government lawyer who leads a watchdog agency.

Jerry ā€œThe Icemanā€ Butler went from street-corner singing and belting out gospel songs in church to co-founding the popular vocal R&B group the Impressions, which was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

Tom Krause is in charge of both a sensitive government payment system and a company that has millions of dollarsā€™ worth of active contracts with various federal agencies through distribution partners, a WIRED review finds. Conflicts posed by this are unprecedented in the modern era, experts say.

APā€™s lawyers: ā€œThe Constitution does not allow the government to control speech. Allowing such government control and retaliation to stand is a threat to every Americanā€™s freedom.ā€ Sue the hell out of Trump!! RESIST! www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/m...

WHAT A SHIT-SHOW!!

Cutting USAID isnā€™t ā€œdraining the swamp,ā€ itā€™s draining our influence. It feeds starving kids, supports U.S. farmers, & keeps fragile nations stable. Slash it, & China fills the void, our allies drift, & chaos grows. Itā€™s not saving $, itā€™s losing power. Every $ will go to top 1% in tax cuts!

Delta Airlines really needs to remove Fox News from its inflight streaming. A woman in the row in front of me watched it nonstop for three hours and EVERY segment I caught the headline for was lies, misinformation, and disinformation. It was a travesty.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not ā€œvacateā€ the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?
