The GOP’s Young β€˜Leaders’ Aren’t Kids β€” They’re Adults Praising Hitler There’s a world of difference between gallows humor and glorifying genocide β€” one saves your sanity, the other kills your soul.

Because this isn’t the movement of Reagan or Eisenhower or even Bush… if you still find yourself defending it, maybe the joke’s on youβ€”because history never laughs with those who excuse the inexcusable.

US tech companies enabled the surveillance and detention of hundreds of thousands in China U.S. technology firms such as IBM, Dell and Cisco largely designed and built China’s surveillance state, an AP investigation finds. The tech companies deny wrongdoing.

An AP investigation finds that Silicon Valley companies sold surveillance technology to Chinese police and security contractors, ignoring warnings that the tools were being used to quash dissent, persecute religious sects and target minorities.

Trump to formally order renaming of Department of Defense to Department of War The executive order will instruct Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to propose legislative and executive actions to make β€œUS Department of War” the official name of the DOD.

Someone who renames an agency to "Department of War" is not a good candidate for the Nobel Prize for Peace. nypost.com/2025/09/04/u...
