Fighting Rommel and Tojo is part of our history too, but we don't erect statues in their honor at Arlington.

After the DOGE purge, reality is setting in. It turns out, workers are actually needed. The FAA just announced plans to hire at least 8,900 air traffic controllers. The National Weather Service is bringing on hundreds of new staff, just months after losing more than 500 people.

Thank you @margaretcho.bsky.social for stepping up and speaking out to a certain Asian guy who played Superman, who is of Japanese descent.

A neo-Nazi group inspired by Donald Trump's rhetoric is expanding its reach and reshaping white extremism in America. At the helm is a Texas couple, both born to Ku Klux Klan leaders reut.rs/4ftv4ne

๐Ÿ“ŒNews this morning that Trump will use our military -- a military he was too weak and cowardly to serve in -- to go after drug dealers proves yet again he will will deploy our troops everywhere ... except to protect from attacks on our country that he provoked.
He's a sniveling, anti-American loser.

It is interesting that GOP is so worried about losing the House they are willing to go nuclear on mid-decade gerrymandering but aren't willing to consider the alternative of maybe shifting away from policies that are deeply unpopular.

Billy, this is PragerU. It's a right wing propaganda machine that we can use to replace PBS. There's just one problem - kids don't like watching it.

"The idea that politics has become so personalized...that the only way you can affect or change policy is by offering a valuable gift to the leader, pretty much contradicts everything that the founders intended."

Imagine this in Russian on Russian state TV

The word for what Jesse Watters is describing here is un-American. A shredding of the constitution.

There nothing funny about it.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction โ€” fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.

I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.

Today we honor the wounded warriors who put their lives on the line for this country.

But letโ€™s be clearโ€”#PurpleHeartDay canโ€™t just be symbolic. If youโ€™re not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, youโ€™re not really honoring them.

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

PAY ATTENTION to YOUR future!
YOU are being impacted NOW!

The massive US debt impacts YOU!
The massive annual US deficit impacts YOU!
The GOP's BIG BULLSHIT BILL increases YOUR debt!

Ignoring reality will not prevent reality from BITING YOU IN THE ASS!

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.

One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatmentsโ€”and in turn, more investor interest"

Trump and Putin did the same with Afghanistan (Doha deal, 2020).
Trump/Pompeo abandoned 40 million Afghans to the Taliban.
Rubio would play Pompeo's role this time.
