Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

It is so hard to get through to people that before food stamps, kids starved. Before meat inspections, kids died. Before vaccines, kids died. You're choosing to kill children to save a buck & you refuse to see it because it's not real to you

If you're a DOJ prosecutor involved in this case, your oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws requires you to simply not comply. Make him fire you.

What's honestly insane about the USAID cuts is how they're directly cutting money from the US economy with no oversight, and they're just like "Congress Shmongress, we know best"

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

I think it should be made clear at this point: If you're a federal employee, you should consider your work devices bugged. If you've logged into personal stuff on those devices, you should consider suspending or deleting the accounts you accessed.

By the way, the reason it matters that Trump lied is because news media is reluctant to report "Trump's radical agenda is bad and authoritarian," no matter how true that is. To our awful political class, that feels like editorializing.
But they ARE willing to report on lying and hypocrisy.

For everyone who wants to argue that Americans voted for all this:
TRUMP LIED THROUGH HIS TEETH ABOUT THIS. He claimed to know nothing about Project 2025. Now he's implementing the full authoritarian project at full speed. He lied, and America is going to suffer as a result.

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch
