Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Out of the 52 presidential directives (excluding pardons and appointments) that Trump signed between Monday and Friday, "28 contained language resembling text published as part of Project 2025." (Washington Post) —From CNN’s Reliable Sources

Look, we’re not going to call it anything but the Gulf of Mexico. We really don’t care and it’s an empty gesture…BUT it’s going to cost us millions.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?
