New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

There should be a counter to see how many times trump pats himself on the back for the deal with the UK.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

“Trump has governed like a late-19th-century president, with his penchant for tariffs, his unusual relationship with a major industrial titan, and his bald-faced corruption,” writes Derek Thompson.

The Story of the Gilded Age Wasn’t Wealth. It Was Corruption.

Richard White, the historian and author of "The Republic for Which It Stands," explains what made the late 19th century gilded.

trump promised to bring down grocery prices on day one. So far, the only things he's brought down are the stock market, and the world's opinion of America.

We are a shithole country.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.

NPR and PBS are being grilled by the House DOGE Subcommittee this a.m., which is chaired by MTG.

Both orgs are nonpartisan and have enjoyed bipartisan support over the years. Nonetheless, the Trump admin is targeting them for their accurate, but unfavorable headlines.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

DOGE has attacked life-saving programs, including:

-Malaria & HIV/AIDS prevention
-NOAA forecasting & FEMA disaster response
-USDA food safety
-FAA aviation safety
-FDA flu vaccine research

This will result in needless suffering — all to pave the way for billionaire tax cuts.

DOGE Is Going to Kill a Lot of Americans

The Democratic Party could spell this out clearly and consistently for voters.

I find it absolutely OBSCENE to see all of the right wing crocodile tears over Elon's burning vehicles.

He's a semi-trillionaire.
I promise you, he will survive.

I don't condone political violence, but where is the fucking outrage over Musk trying to raid the Social Security of regular folks...
