I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

This move, which in my opinion appears to be racially based, could also be based on one of Felon47's loyalty surveys. That part's unclear. What is clear is that what we are going through is shameful. Not a fan.

Meritocracy is when you officially don’t have the stated qualifications for a job but get hired because the boss likes how you look on TV. apnews.com/article/trum...

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...

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

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

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
