So Anderson Cooper not re-upping his contract at CBS, likely because of the Bari Weiss-MAGA friendly shakeup. Next, Tony can you hear this? Maybe you too could leave to protect your time honed career in honor of Truth, Justice and an Ethical American way

It's true, they are dismantling supercomputing abilities from NASA, NSF, NCAR, etc. This is removing the fire alarms during a massive fire before the people know about the fire. I have a reply to this post that explains this metaphorically as it is the best way to symbolize it.

I just finished an eight‑part breakdown of what’s happening to our national scientific and emergency‑response infrastructure. It’s long because the damage is deep — and because the pattern only becomes visible when you zoom out far enough to see the whole thing at once. Below is the short version:

This Isn’t Politics. It’s the Dismantling of National Capacity. Every few days now, another foundational system gets quietly weakened or pulled apart.
Today it’s the National Science Foundation moving to strip supercomputers out of NCAR — the backbone of our weather and climate modeling.

FOX has been worldview‑first for years. Now CBS Evening News is drifting the same way. That’s why critical‑thinking tools matter: in counties where many adults never got that training, people get swept up in the narrative without seeing the pivot behind it.

Here's another warning shot across the bow here folks. Gallup saying they are stepping away from presidential approval ratings. It's conspicuous now because the numbers coming back are not favorable to this, personality in the oval. Stepping back deprives the public of these metrics and harms us all

Why Epstein’s files matter more than people realize
Focus on:

The sheer volume of references to Putin and Moscow

Epstein’s access to powerful men

The idea of a kompromat pipeline

Intelligence sources describing the operation as a “honeytrap”

Won’t it be nice when the attacks finally stop?
The attacks on the Statue of Liberty’s ethos — “Give us your…” — the promise that people who come here with energy, ambition, and a willingness to build are part of the American story.

Turning Point confirms Super Bowl show with Kid Rock as viewers say 'this is embarrassing'. Oh, back before Kid Rock turned MAGA rocker‑has‑been, he carried some weight.
Now, all he carries is tired old baggage nobody needs or wants. So sad too bad

NATO is reacting to Trump’s rhetoric about Greenland. Let walls of the checks stand tall and proud holding their heads high.
The constitutional muscles everyone assumed had atrophied are actually bracing again. Institutions outside the U.S. are refusing to be dragged into improvisational chaos. YAY

Can anyone here this? Please give us adults back in the room!

At some point, the job of a legislator required telling the truth even when it's uncomfortable-and if a party spends years punishing that instinct, voter eventually go looking for leaders who still have it. Is this what happened in Texas? Bet me money. People are dead sick of it

TDS: tRump Derangement Syndrom, unsurprisingly, is not an actual diagnosis and can't be found anywhere in the DSM-5, the Diagnositic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders. It is mearly a term used by both him, you know tRump, and some supporters to discredit those that just don't like him.

Pam Bondi spewing how people have the right to worship how and where they wish as an excuse for arresting Don Lemon? Seriously? Isn't that a little like wrapping a turd in Christmas wrap?
January 31, 2026 at 2:02 PM
So, today's "as the stomach churns." Don Lemon is arrested. Please, WTF. The DOJ admitting they have no intention of fully complying with the order to release all the files. Again, WTF. If anyone suspected a coverup, and/or the reality there is NO RULE OF LAW in this administration. Now What?

A combat soldier's question: If a combat unit in Iraq — under fire, facing IEDs, snipers, and real battlefield threats — can go a full year without killing a single person, why are ICE and Border Patrol killing Minnesotans during routine operations?

Problem: members of the GOP sounding alarms on fleeing Hispanic voters. And, all they want to do is manage the narrative rather than correcting the problems. Here's the solution:
1. Remove the architect of the most radioactive policies.

So do you guys , (MAGA), that he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and wouldn't loose any support?
January 25, 2026 at 2:05 PM
It is unfortunate indeed that families Like Tanya Rasmussen have decided to move out of the U.S. But, I do understand that their motivation. They have two kids and they fear for their futures. They want stable health care systems and education. These are things eroding quickly here in the U.S.

Two events side by side:

The 2018 dismantling of the U.S. pandemic‑preparedness office
The current withdrawal from the WHO

The first decision weakened our ability to respond to COVID‑19. We didn't foresee its arrival, but dismantling preparedness infrastructure always creates blind spots.
January 23, 2026 at 2:21 AM
Holy smokes, is accountability finally poking it head up? Well yes maybe. But not because the fed has finally found a conscious but because something has finally hit "bone" when tRump fired Lisa Cook via a Truth Social post. For years the Court has treated his conduct as something unfortunate.
January 23, 2026 at 1:11 AM
House Speaker Johnson says he's all for impeaching judges that rule against the mob boss in the oval office??? So, no rule of law, no justice department, as the same mob boss bought them all, ICE can enter whatever homes they want with no warrant. Good God how do we get out of this mess?
January 22, 2026 at 2:38 PM
Holy crap people; what country and/or era are we in where ICE can sign their own permission slip to enter a residence, no judges warrant, just their own administrative warrant to enter. It's tantamount to arriving at a residence, jotting down a permission slip on a napkin saying go ahead-enter

Renee Good follow‑up: DHS says they were “following the law.”
So which law allows warrantless arrests in a private driveway without exigent circumstances?
And what exigent circumstance did an unarmed woman create by trying to leave her own driveway?
