Does anyone else think that Pete Hegseth has a larger gripe against the ability to think critically or rigorous academic training than Scott Walker? I did not think it was actually possible.

Protesters were stun-gunned and arrested at Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall By the end of Greene's Tuesday town hall in Acworth, Ga., three people were arrested and two were hit with stun guns. Greene is one of many lawmakers confronted by angry constituents in recent weeks.

Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History
YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Why are there not Labor law suits being filed with this crap.

A moment of clarity: #DonaldTrump does not know how to be a president. He knows how to be a (below average) CEO. He can only do ANYTHING when there is no opposition-even from his own. GOP Congress has abdicated 100%. This only works if resistance is allowed at a minor level.

So, since Musk now has access to your Social Security accounts, I might suggest downloading any reports on earnings and what you are owed so that, ya know, there is a record.

Loyalty tests and MAGA checks: Inside the Trump White House's intense screening of job-seekers Job-seekers hoping to join the new Trump administration are facing a series of intense loyalty tests.

f you want to see how you dismantle a system, this is it.

When experts are replaced by worshippers without expertise in the job, the system falls.

Maybe that's the point.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

#DonaldTrump may be asking the US government taking partial control of #TikTok.

For those who were concerned about your data being scraped, an official US Govt platform will absolutely do that, plus be able to charge taxes to all content creators or businesses that use it.

The more you know.

#TheGoldenAge or #TheGildedAge in America is often used to describe the Age of the Robberbarrons, the Hursts, the Pulitzers, dramatic inequality, and the era that led to #TheGreatDepression. #DonaldTrump #SpeakerJohnson #elonmusk and the rest of them are ushering in the inevitable class war.

When you watch the hearings, listen to politicians, and ask "how does any of this make sense?", I give you this thought from Upton Sinclair (author of "The Jungle") -

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.
