U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This isn't a sign of removing "wokeness" , it is a sign of adding "weakness" #CoastGuard U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

Yes, but the level of misinformation that these people traffic in is the problem and giving them credentials gives them the imprimatur of legitimacy

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: “The worst thing that I just can't get over is we're not working right now. And I put that criticism directly on the Speaker of the House…It is an embarrassment to me that we're not in session.”

Laura Loomer is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon The far-right activist has repeatedly criticized defense officials on her website and social media accounts while boasting of her close ties to President Donald Trump.

So look who is joining this already elite group of "journalistic institutions" - such as
One America News,
Gateway Pundit, the Post Millennial, and LindellTV aka MyPillow founder Mike Lindell’s streaming service. #WarOnMedia #JournalismUnderThreat #Trump

#Baseball the way it ought to be with the @tigers.bsky.social vs @cleguardians.com playing a daytime #wildcard game. I remember running home after school to catch the World Series ...am sure kids in Detroit & Cleveland did the same. We need more daytime playoff baseball!

After this disaster of a 7th inning where the bullpen flames out again for the @yankees.com with walks, wild pitches, and scoring 8 runs with no one out, why are Leiter and pitching coach Blake covering their mouths for? It isn't like the @tigers.bsky.social need to know what is happening next!

I guess this is good news for @newyorkjets.bsky.social fans...from @morningbrew.bsky.social : "the odds of winning #Powerball are about 1 in 292.2 million, meaning you’re more likely to get killed by a vending machine or see the Jets win the Super Bowl this year." @nyjets.bsky.social

He, like most presidents, did some things that helped and others that harmed. Reagan was anti-tariff and given the GOP embrace of Trump's tariffs the party now seems more enamored with the current resident of the White House

There is already a push to change the name of the Department of Defense back to the War Department (it was changed in 1949) by President Truman to create a National Defense Establishment to oversee the Army, Navy and the newly formed Air Force which were previously individual departments

The President of the United States just said that he is "the chief law enforcement officer" of the country. According to his own Dept. of Justice web site that is not the case. This is not the first time he has said this, yet it remains untrue (see below)

Houston deserves a franchise (the Comets never should have foldeded), but Connecticut has a rich history & support for women's hoops. NHL honcho Gary Bettman is the most hated man in CT for allowing the Whalers go to N.C. @nba.com commish Silver & Englebert could surpass him if the Sun sets in CT
