The U.S. Secretary of Transportation hates the greatest public transit system in the United States. That explains a lot.
Duffy: "She wants to take people off the road and she's taxing people to do it, raising money for the subway system in New York. But then, to put people in the subway -- the subway is dirty! There's violence. There's criminals. It's not safe ... By the way, I like freedom. Let me drive my car."

Omg. This is horrifying.
Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births — and Republicans want it gone.
The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.

Kind of feels like there wasn’t a mandate to destroy the health insurance program that covers 24% of Americans in order to fund a giant tax giveaway for billionaires and corporations, but maybe it’s just me.

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."

“JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
