We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Musk added another $2 million—he's now up to $10.2 million in spending to put his bought-and-paid-for MAGA candidate, Brad Schimel, into the decisive seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court.

There's a reason his names aren't on the ads. Voters *loathe* Musk. Help us get the word out: peoplevmusk.org

The US agency that monitors weather will cut another 1,000 jobs, AP sources say Multiple sources tell The Associated Press that the Trump Administration is starting another round of job cuts — this one more than 1,000 — at the nation’s weather, ocean and fisheries agency.

Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. 

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Vulture Capitalism Comes for Democracy The playbook Trump and Musk are following to dismantle government resembles the one used to pick apart America’s newspapers.

43% of social welfare recipients are White. 11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states.

Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive.

Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system The access, granted by Scott Bessent, Trump’s newly confirmed treasury secretary, comes after the ousting of the agency’s top career official.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being

No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman.

Same for the Buffalo Soldiers.

That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy.

We know their story.

Tuskegee Airmen flew more than 15,000 sorties over North Africa and Europe during World War II and destroyed more than 250 enemy aircraft on the ground, 150 in the air. The squadron never lost a bomber to enemy aircraft during their escort missions. No other escort unit could claim such a record.

It's entirely funded by premiums paid by the banks.

Great going, Musk and Vivek.
