Being labeled a 'Hegseth' Edward Coristine, known as β€œBig Balls,” the DOGE vandal and MAGA extremist, did not heed the wisdom of appreciating that nothing good happens in the big city after 2 am.

Pete Hegseth is un-American.

He is reinstated a confederate general statue.

"This is what the Confederacy was about.

This is what Pete Hegseth is celebrating.

It’s appalling.

It is un-American."

Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to cushy prison camp is a 'travesty of justice,' ex-BOP official says The move has sparked shock and outrage among current and former Bureau of Prison staffers.

Trump claimed transfers like Maxwell's were common.

"It’s not a very uncommon thing," he said.

But Vito Maraviglia, a retired prison special agent, said that in 27 yrs he doesn't recall an instance in which a sex offender was moved to a prison camp.

The MadKing is a pig and Governor Adams is doing his bidding to guarantee his job with the payoffs to follow.

Either that or Abbott is a terrified #Coward and doing it out of fear.

For folks raised on Nazi eugenics, diversity is inferiority. They agree with Hitler that light-skinned, inbred people are genetically superior. They look down on folks with diverse ancestry.

My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

Only a culture shift within the GOP can save democracy. Free and fair elections will not be safe so long as the #MadKing is in the White House. The rule of law will not prevail until MAGA is defeated, discredited and abandoned.
