Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Well, we have just moved six decades backwards! Trump just revoked an executive order signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, banning discrimination in federal hiring. 60 years later, it will be legal to discriminate. Pathetic!

Shame on any member of Congress who meets with a recalcitrant, pardoned seditionist. Even if they can't feel the shame, we know this can't be tolerated in a democracy.

"Looking at this, you’re probably asking yourself, “How is this guy getting a confirmation hearing at all? Especially with his personal vices?” But that’s the key. Hegseth isn’t getting a hearing in spite of his vices. He’s getting this hearing because of them."

The disgraceful Governor of Texas Greg Abbott has chosen to forgo honoring our former President Jimmy Carter by refusing to hang flags at half length in inauguration day.

This classless act of nonsense shows once AGAIN that the GOP is only loyal to the annoying orange, not Americans. SHAMEFUL!

If you’re A-Ok with Trump pardoning war criminals, rapists, traitors, spousal abusers, insurrectionists and business cheats, but outraged by Joe Biden pardoning his formerly drug addicted, now recovering, civilian son, congratulations — you are an idiot, an asshole and you’re in a fucking cult.

The piece has tons of devastating details about Hegseth's many, many disqualifying personal traits, but we shouldn't overlook the parts about how he has repeatedly mismanaged every single organization he's led and been driven out of job after job for utter incompetence.
Yikes. A racist, drunken, sexual predator. "A different former employee described Hegseth being at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!” www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...
