Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

β€˜DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

NYT headline about Trump pausing PEPFAR disbursements

NYT headline about Trump pausing PEPFAR disbursements

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

I Was Kamala Harris’ Videographer. I Wish I Could Show You What I’ve Seen. She completely changed me.

"Vice President Harris never called a little girl cute or commented on her outfit; instead, she'd say, 'You look like the smartest person in your class.' The vice president would say, 'Let me hear you say, 'I am a leader,'' and even the youngest girls would say it back." slate.com/news-and-pol...

this isn’t random bullshit. It’s a calculated effort to create a reactionary constitutional order. The target is the Reconstruction Constitution, inclusive of the second Reconstruction.

The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job."

And no one will blink an eye. It won't be a controversy or a big story. All normalized.

Welcome to the next 4 years.

CBS 58 weather reporter Sam Kuffel is out after criticizing Elon Musk arm gesture Meteorologist Sam Kuffel criticized Elon Musk on social media for his straight-arm gesture some likened to a Nazi salute at the Trump inauguration.

Getting pissed off about Nazis being in power is as American as apple pie. Firing people to protect the Nazis in power is cringing bullshit. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Trump Revokes John Bolton’s Secret Service Protection President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had granted Bolton and another Trump national security adviser protection in 2021 after threats from Iran.

President Trump revoked U.S. Secret Service protection for John Bolton within hours of taking office, stripping his former national security adviser of the security detail he had been granted because of threats on his life from Iran, Bolton said.
