Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division

Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

Bari Weiss interviewed Erika Kirk on CBS and didn’t ask a single critical question. I dissect how Weiss and Kirk sanitize extremism and the radicalization behind MAGA’s propaganda machine.

Q: Why do we have troops in Syria?

TRUMP: Because we're trying to make sure that there's gonna remain peace in the Middle East, and Syria is a big part of it. It's amazing what's taken place in Syria. We have legitimate peace in the Middle East.

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.”

Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?

"...this was a school problem. They had their own guards. They had their own police. They had their own everything. But you'd have to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI. We came in after the fact and the FBI will do a good job, but they came in after the fact."
Q: Has Kash Patel told you why it's been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is?

TRUMP: It's always difficult. So far we're done a very good job of it with Charlie, with the various times this has happened. You'll have to ask the school about that.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

a "journalist" asks about pardoning someone in the crypto industry and Trump says he "doesn't know anything about it" but then asks Pam Bondi to look into it

maintaining the cognitive dissonance between "i love how racist the president is" and "he's a terrible person" does indeed sound exhausting

A majority of Americans have decided that active shooter drills and school massacres are an acceptable price for preserving our gun regime. What makes us unserious is that practically no one is willing to state this revealed preference openly.

Trump: Really, you have to ask the school a little bit more about that. Because, you know, this was a school problem.

Trump: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form.

NEW — Trump has signed an executive order "designating illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemical as weapons of mass destruction (WMD)." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

As a reminder, The Handbasket had the scoop that this was coming back in MARCH:
Trump to declare 'illicit' fentanyl 'Weapon of Mass Destruction,' per draft EO
A copy of the draft was obtained and reviewed by The Handbasket.

There is so much for which to remember Rob Reiner. In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it. And we all could use a good laugh these days
