“Hegseth suggested that Brown, who is Black, may have risen to his position through racial preferences. ‘We'll never know,’ he wrote, in a classic just-asking-questions dodge. But Trump should know. He’s the president who nominated Brown to be Air Force Chief of Staff in 2020.”

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

You know who Trump and Musk are? They’re the guys that destroy carefully built sandcastles and then laugh wildly at what they’ve done. They’re both narcissistic sociopaths who have no appreciation for anyone else’s life or work. To them, only billionaires have value—everybody else is disposable.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

The President has zero authority to "take control of the USPS", and zero control over getting rid of the postal board or their members. If that were the case Biden would have kicked DeJoy the fuck out of there years ago. He has as much authority here as he does to make Canada a state - fucking ZERO.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

On the day I read an article about an issue with Boeing 737 MAX engines and something called a Load Redistribution Device, too. Hopefully it's relatively subtle foreshadowing by this season's writers room

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

If Gov. Hochul moves to oust Adams as NYC mayor, and Adams demands a hearing: Awesome. Hochul should conduct the hearing(s) live, in prime time. Make it a Knapp Commission-style hearing. Hire counsel (someone like Barry Berke) to examine witnesses. Drag it on for months. Make it painful.

Hochul is one of the few Democrats who has grown in strength and spine since the election.

. Vance? A disgrace. Trump? A walking disaster. Elon? A billionaire fanboy for dictators. The Trump admin? Unqualified, unhinged, and unserious. And America as a reliable ally? That ship sank while they were busy kissing Putin’s ring. #PutinsPuppets #TrumpSucks #JDVance #russia #america

There is proof of an explicit quid-pro-quo between Mayor Eric Adams and President Donald Trump. When notes were taken of the exchange by NY Prosecutors, the President's team had them seized. This is a crime: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/monda...

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

We are going to need a LOT of people to stand up this way. I’m glad people are doing it.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

Trump's administration erasing trans people from Stonewall's history is beyond cruel. This is a blatant attempt to rewrite reality and erase the very people who fought for LGBTQ+ rights. Trans activists led that fight, and no executive order can erase the truth. This is infuriating. 🏳️‍🌈

The Stonewall event today is more than a moment, it’s a test. If we don’t push back, LGBTQ+ rights and history will continue to be erased, piece by piece. I will stand as an advocate for this community until my last breath. Will you stand with me?🏳️‍🌈 🔄 Repost | ❤️ Like | 📢 Follow to show your support

America, thank you for speaking up for us! The National Park Service will exempt certain workers from Trump’s federal hiring freeze, including seasonal law enforcement rangers and public safety dispatchers.

It's not about lobbyists. It's about the politicians on this platform deciding to neuter DOGE by doing a better version of what DOGE wants to do. Legislatively. The issue isn't the goal of efficiency and savings. That's important. The issue is the process to get there.
