Hegseth's war on "beardos" (soldiers granted waivers to allow having short beards) is a racist move. about 2/3 of the service members given the waiver are Black. The waiver is granted because of a medical diagnosis of pseudofolliculitis barbae (chronic ingrown hairs exacerbated by shaving).
Pete Hegseth refuses to meet with bearded soldiers in South Korea
Bearded service member won’t be allowed to meet with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth when he visits South Korea next week. He refers to those troops as “beardos.”

Last night, my neighbor and I were talking about #SNAP. She is a progressive/liberal white lady in her 70s who watches too much mainstream media, and she bought into the myth that there is rampant fraud with SNAP recipients getting money they “don’t deserve.”

I LOVE how this man reclaimed the narrative by refusing the frame he was being offered and he insisted on a more truthful, accurate, reality-based frame.

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.
California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

People should realize that the SNAP program was Republican’s idea . They want to use it since they think we the people doesn’t deserve affordable healthcare. Democrats are fighting for our healthcare and our rights. Vote out the Republicans!!! Plain and simple!!!

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.
Trump: “…BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Several dozen people had reported to ICE’s Stockton office Saturday afternoon. ICE officials temporarily barred immigration attorneys from the building, accused them of being fake attorneys — even after showing their State Bar Association cards — and from meeting with their clients.

Interesting read about a reporter’s Signal thread with the new US Attorney Trump appointed to prosecute Jim Comey and Leticia James. Note that she has no prosecutorial experience, only having been Trump’s personal attorney.
Thank God they are this incompetent or our democracy would be long gone.

Lindsey Halligan has a broadcast journalism degree from Regis University in Denver. I am confident they covered how "off the record" works.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
