Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

The Trump Playbook: 1. Manufacture a crisis. 2. Hype it up. 3. Pretend you solved it. 4. Declare yourself the victor. 5. Repeat. Basically has our allies asking, “what bone do we throw this crazy idiot so he can parade around beating his chest saying he won?” It’s all a farce. (via Ana Navarro)

Trump got played… The tariff border deal announced by Trump yesterday is the same deal Canada already agreed to w/the Biden-Harris administration. Trump just repackaged it & tried to call it a win. 📌Dec 2024, Canada announced C$1.3 billion ($900 million) in measures to disrupt the fentanyl trade.

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority. He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans. Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

The Trump Tariffs are ILLEGAL. He does NOT have the unilateral authority to amend trade agreements with Canada and Mexico. He needs Congressional approval -- and he does NOT have it. The tariffs should be challenged in court -- and overruled by Congress. NOW.

January 6 was a terrorist insurrection that violently assaulted and maimed hundreds of police officers. The man who led it is now president — and he pardoned all his comrades while firing all the US attorneys and FBI agents who investigated and prosecuted the perpetrators.

This is a constitutional crisis: the President doesn't have the power to cancel funds appropriated by Congress. Also, the math is insane; there is NO way to cut $4B/day by getting rid of "fraud". Cuts of that magnitude will dangerously undermine the core functions of government.

A gut punch… Two of the three crew members on the Black Hawk have been named, but the third crew member’s family asked to keep her identity private—you would too, right? Because being a woman in the military is enough to make her a target for the right’s DEI outrage. Respect to ALL who serve.
