JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

You should be ashamed as editor in chief that this tripe was published. Not only is it flawed and misleading (at best!), it is dangerous and minimizes the extreme threat to our democracy and its citizens that is obviously and overwhelmingly perpetrated by the right.

Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise
For the first time in more than 30 years, attacks by the far left outnumber those by the far right.

When Vought was in front of the Appropriations Committee earlier this week, I didn’t see or read of anyone (even the Dems) asking him why he was so confident in “DOGE” as an agency and an entity when it has fucked up everything it has touched.

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.
Trump races to fix a big mistake: DOGE fired too many people
Across the government, the administration is rehiring federal workers who were forced out or encouraged to resign.

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.
Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.
I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

And 10 years after the McKinley tariff…
Newt Gingrich says the "McKinley Model" requires high tariffs over a three-year transition period.
Notable: Three years after the 1890 McKinley tariff, the economy had fallen into a severe depression. The GDP shrank by 10% and unemployment hit 18%. Certainly not the economic model I'd be copying. 😳

Hearing that the Coast Guard is being told to deprioritize and de-emphasize the Search and Rescue mission.
That’s right, you know, one of the main missions of the service since the very beginning?
There are more than 3,500 lives saved per year by the CG.

Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.
