I'm having face tingling from fight or flight. That's a normal response to a budget bill being passed, right? That means we've reached ultimate freedom?

Why we should all be enraged about what's happening to Adriana Smith
The state of Georgia is performing an experiment on a Black woman that negates autonomy and personhood, leaving a question of what's next.

Of course he’s trolling. It’s obvious he’s trolling. And yes, he’s probably trolling in an effort to distract. And also: it’s a major problem that a sitting “president” is trolling, and it should be called out because he’s deeply, deeply unwell.

We're in D.C. for the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee's hearing on mental health. We submitted a 32-page report—10 is considered long. Lindsay Church of Minority Vets will be among the speakers, and we are right behind them.

Weird how hiring an alcoholic who hasn't worked a real job in a while to run the Department of Defense didn't work out so great.
The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department.
