This is such bullshit.

"Fort Moore — renamed in 2023 for Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore and his wife, Julia — would again be called Fort Benning. Instead of honoring Henry L. Benning, a Confederate and white supremacist, the base would be named for Cpl. Fred G. Benning, who served during World War I."

We must consider that DJT 47 is looking for his very own Reichstag Fire to claim a national emergency to sweep aside people's Constitutional protections.

Here's what the duly elected Nazis did back in 1933:

Trump's policy attempting to erase the memory of military service members who deserve extra recognition for their deeds flies is corrupt and petty.

I extend my same hope for new growth and long-term survival that I put into my plantings this season to the people of Ukraine, who are being bullied by the noxious weeds, Putin and Trump, but are standing tall.

I wish America's military veterans, who are no longer under the command of the Commander-in-Chief Trump, would organize to put him in his place.
The law is too slow to stem the damage he is causing, and SCOTUS might be suborned.

My Trump 47 Shower Drain Cover, gold plated Mar-a-Lago limited edition, has arrived!

King Donald 2.0 not only wants to break things without a repair plan, but his neo-Confederate fascists are just fine with harming or killing people in "Sh*thole Countries" (who help advance medicine for the world) without a second thought.

Let's hope Republicans in Congress put a stop to any threat to the taxpayer pennies that Public Broadcasting gets from us. Many of them know their constituents love the PBS and NPR products, and that commercial-free news is valuable.

Today's Republicans are wrong about everything.
Back in the 1930s when we collectively felt deeply the failures of 20th Century capitalism upon our daily lives, true citizen leaders stood up for what was most important in our democratic society, "of the people, by the people, and for the people."

I have a high-energy, high-anxiety AmStaff/Boxer mix I rescued from the shelter in 2020, early in the pandemic.

But he's an affectionate psycho, like so many of my GFs over the years. 🤣

"1 in 14 judges confirmed during Trump’s presidency were confirmed after he lost his reelection bid. Perhaps the best known of those judges is U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon. "

Will Biden/Schumer/Durbin show any sense of urgency in pushing to confirm judges?
