We all know that if Obama had invited a Black rapper covered in bling to stand next to him as he signed an executive order in the Oval Office, rightwing media would have lost their minds. That’s what white supremacy is all about. One spoken rule for me, another spoken one for you.

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied.

Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.
Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
