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...

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

At the very least, in a few years time, we will look back on his press conference today and talk about how many new extremists/terrorists he created with his words.

Shady vance you’re wrong In 2024, the US border only seized 43lb of fentanyl from northern border (Canada). That represents around 0,2% of total fentanyl seized at the US border. In contrast, Canada border seized 946 lb of fentanyl coming from the US. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Air Force will stop teaching recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen after an order from Donald Trump. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black US military pilots and excelled in combat during World War II.

Indiana folks, this Bill is being introduced in the House, and could mean the end of certain public schools (including 9 in Gary and 50 in Indy). This would dissolve all public schools in districts where more than 50% of eligible students attend private schools, converting them to charters.

This is... quite a new way to fight the War on Drugs, isn't it, MAGA voters? Is this what you voted for? When you were pulling the lever, were you telling one another you wanted to see more people connected to heroin distribution on the streets? Is that what you were telling journalists? Or God?

Seems like this story should be getting more coverage. I hope others did some soul-searching like this woman did.

Trump on Beverly Hills: "They wanted to restrict you to 38 gallons of water a day. That sounds like a lot, but it's not when you're a rich person and you want to take a shower."

Last month CBO estimated the costs of 10 percent tariffs. But now Trump is saying 25. Should you just multiply by 2.5? No. Basic economics says the loss from tariffs is nonlinear, to a first approximation the square of the tariff rate. So what Trump has promised is SIX TIMES WORSE than CBO analyzed

Focus on the substance of his executive orders and ignore the noise. If there is one thing I've learned from the last 8 years, they are counting on the outrage to distract the public from the damage happening under their noses. It's exactly what they want.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are right now trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

Took my son to see "Wicked" last night, and, having never seen the musical, I have to say that I didn't expect it to be so timely. The film is wonderful, but even moreso, the story is a potent reminder of the importance of integrity and selflessness in the face of corruption. Keep up the good fight.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.
