College students are not allowed to have loans forgiven.

But Farmers get all their debts forgiven & paid for, & then some.

It is an amazing thing how it is OK those funds but not for students. And when you add the fact that HE FUCKING TOLD THEM HE WAS GOING TO JACK THOSE TARIFFS AND HE DID IT BEFORE!!! But I digress

Trump’s latest rally wasn’t just low-energy it also exposed the “mental weakness” his team keeps pretending isn’t there. He’s nearly 80 and slipping fast, he’s giving voters a front-row seat to the decline

In a country founded on land stolen from its natives, populated and built by immigrants from around the world, who white men God?

Should Hate and White Nationalist Groups be banned?

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

When a White House press secretary uses dehumanizing language like this - labeling millions of Americans as “terrorists” or “criminals” - it crosses a line that should matter to everyone, regardless of party.

This should never be acceptable from the people who speak for the President of the USA.👇

This is not "de-escalation"—this is state violence. The actions being taken are far from calming the situation; instead, they exacerbate tensions and demonstrate a disturbing disregard for human rights.
