I had a similar situation when I was working at one of our parishes in San Jose. CBP came with an "administrative warrant" and demanded to enter our offices. I simply asked, "What is the name and court of the judge, and where is their signature?"

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

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

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...

Not to worry, the US has an entire department of security experts for whom this kind of an attack is child's play! ... (Just kidding, they were extremely competent, so naturally Trump fired them all.) www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

They blink a lot. They lose in court too. They are even feeling some pressure from within the party. Things are bad, but not hopeless.

We rely on USPS for medications, government services, ballots, and more. The postal service is a public good. We can’t allow it to be turned over to greedy billionaires to squeeze out profits by exploiting workers and degrading service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump is trying to rewrite history by claiming that Russia did not start its brutal war with Ukraine. Why? To open up business opportunities in Russia for his family and friends. Trump is blatantly lying to the world to line his own pockets. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

What good is it for Louisiana to have a House speaker and majority leader unwilling to defend our higher education institutions against a direct assault? If their positions require bowing to an authoritarian, let's save our $ and give Clay Higgins four votes. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

If you told me "an extremely senile Trump was re elected after being convicted of a felony but the real president is Elon Musk, who's a Nazi now, and he's employing his drug dealer and nazi child pornographers to tear down the entire US government" in 2020 I'd have thought you were on crack

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.
