🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Dane County judge strikes down Act 10, restoring public employee union bargaining rights Public employee collective bargaining rights have been restored by a Dane County judge, who ruled that several sections of Wisconsin's controversial law known as Act 10 are unconstitutional.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

The Scandal of Trump’s Cabinet Picks Isn’t Just Their Personal Failings The President-elect and his appointees now view their internal enemies as America’s biggest national-security threats.

'In just the past few days, the French government collapsed, civil war in Syria reignited, and South Korea’s President, briefly, declared martial law. But here in Washington, Donald Trump’s brand of political chaos is a world unto itself.' www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Aiming to 'radicalize Main Street,' Christian nationalists set sights on tiny Jackson County, Tennessee Christian nationalists have set their sights on a remote Tennessee county, hoping to attract like-minded people from across the country as part of their efforts to β€œradicalize Main Street.”

We have got to stop this!

The number one priority has got to be children. What worries me is not just the humanitarian issue involved but also the failure to understand that investing in children is the smartest thing we can do for the country's future.

WATCH: β€œThere needs to be consequences.”

Destiny says Blue states/cities should stop subsidizing Red states/rural areas whose reps vote against their own interests.

(TN gets 40% of our budget from the federal government 😬 β€” while we brag about how responsible we are)

Tennessee GOP Leadership Files New School Choice Bill for Next Legislative Session - Tennessee Star Republican leadership in the Tennessee General Assembly filed new legislation on Wednesday, the Education Freedom Act of 2025, to support Governor Bill Lee’s universal school choice plan.

Lee wasted no time in jumping in with both feet. He's been running around the state trying to charm it into existence.
NO! #TBATS

Tell the Senate: RFK Jr. is a bad choice for children's health. The nomination of vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services puts America's children at risk. In addition to discouraging parents from vaccinating their children, he has proposed slashing funding for medical research and drinking raw milk, which is dangerous to health, along with other conspiracy theories. Tell your Senators that RFK Jr. should not be approved to lead HHS. RFK Jr. is bad for America's children and dangerous to our country's health.
