Take 2 positions of this government: Your American-ness is limited to birthplace, not the ideas of the nation + the attack on birthright citizenship, & you get a nakedly white supremacist government (to say nothing of the move to limit legal asylum to white South Africans).
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

1 of several reasons why I am opposed to a crudely consequentialist approach to public policy, where the outcome (will it increase low income people's access to loans, empirically?) is all that matters.

Duffy has talked consistently like he's still a Fox News personality talking shit about Democrats, but has been unable to figure out the PR when you're in charge. See e.g. when Steve Doocy was like "you say DOT sucks right now, but isn't it your job not to suck?" www.yahoo.com/news/fox-new...

Last month, playing tape of Charlie Kirk's words was enough to get people fired for the new category of anti-Kirkist hate speech.

Sloppily written anti-trans policies, applied incorrectly*, harm everyone.
*The school policy is "only biological females can play girls sports"; doesn't say trans boys can't play boys sports. So they're not even following their hastily written policies, on top of the fact that the kid isn't trans.

His high school is saying that a boy, who was born a boy with boy parts, must play on the girl's team to ensure "fairness." He's not trans. A doctor submitted a note that he is "a biological male." The school makes him use a separate bathroom. www.fox13now.com/us-news/birt...

“Charlie’s death is like a domestic 9/11,” Bessent said. “Just as after 9/11, and Osama bin Laden... was captured... we are going to track down who is responsible for this.”
