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

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

We don't accept that this was even a mistake. This crew is known to throw shit at the walls and flood the zone with lies they know many will make contact with, believe without evaluating critically, and then spread to friends and family at will for ever and ever, further justifying their project.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

I certainly don't always agree with Rick Wilson, but in this 16-minute interview the points he makes are spot on. Great advice for Dems: Don't talk policy at all. Instead talk about pain, chaos & destruction caused by Musk & Trump. (By the end of the year we'll be well into the 2026 election cycle.)

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else
