Screenshot of a tweet from Acyn ((@Acyn) The tweet quotes Vance saying, 'When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government. But on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there.' Below the tweet, there is an image of a person speaking at a podium with the White House seal in the background. The person is wearing a suit and red tie, and there are American flags on either side of the podium. The broadcast is live on C-SPAN2.

We don’t have any standards on who we’re putting in charge of our government now. And that’s putting stress on the people already there.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse reads the law that allows Kash Patel to give permission to the committee to get a transcript of his grand jury testimony.

Kash Patel goes in circles and refuses to give them permission.

What is Kash hiding?

The discovery of sex chromosomes was just as controversial as everything else in genetics Nettie Stevens, a former school teacher turned geneticist, discovered sex chromosomes in 1905. Here's her story:

Since the fascists are waging a gender war based on their (wrong) views re: the determinacy of X Y chromosomes, I’d just like to point out that they were discovered by an unmarried woman geneticist whose findings were stolen by men after she died of breast cancer at 50.

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like β€œstates’ rights” to invoke the same spirit.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more β€” if it ever was β€” to say they use DEI as the n-word.

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel:

"Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th."

it's hard to read the chart in the screenshot but what this moron is actually complaining about isn't "DEI" staff, it's special education teachers. these ghouls are coming for people with disabilities and they aren't even shy about it.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
