A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

This is an important point about animal abusers.
Most serial murderers started by killing cats and dogs, animal cruelty is linked to all forms of human abuse, from domestic violence to sexual assault.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Pam Bondi is America's top criminal, just behind the Trump, not America's lawyer. Her modus operandi is dereliction of duty. The Republikkkan Party must be held responsible for what we are going through. It is not the federal government. Everything under Trump is being done by lawless Republikkkans.

I am at a loss for words regarding how horrific this is. This is not law enforcement. This is state-sponsored brutality that can result in death. This is what MAGA brought to America. This is the fascist, lawless Trump Regime. I am absolutely disgusted.

Trump Administration Begins Moving to Dismantle Education Department
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Trump administration has begun executing its long-announced plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, preparing to transfer major responsibilities to other federal agencies, according to people familiar with the effort. Six department offices are expected to see their functions moved across four separate agencies under a restructuring plan that officials say is a step toward fulfilling President Trump’s pledge to eliminate the department entirely. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The internal discussions, shared ahead of a formal announcement, indicate that the administration is targeting several core functions of the department for relocation. While the specific offices and destination agencies have not yet been publicly identified, the restructuring is expected to affect areas related to federal funding oversight, school program administration, and regulatory enforcement. The plan marks one of the most significant structural shifts proposed for a Cabinet-level agency in decades. Trump and his allies have long argued that education policy should be returned to states and local governments, contending that the federal department is unnecessary and overly bureaucratic. Critics counter that dissolving the agency could undermine civil rights enforcement, student loan oversight, and support for disadvantaged students. The administration has not provided a timeline for completing the transfers, and it remains unclear whether Congress will need to approve any components of the restructuring. The department, founded in 1979, administers billions in federal education funding annually. --- Sources: * Politico – MBFC Rating The post Trump Administration Begins Moving to Dismantle Education Department appeared first on News Facts Network.

I agree entirely. It is a real shame what this Trump fascist white supremacist misogynist regime is doing to destroy America from within.
Willfully ignoring science - especially in vital areas like health, safety, defense, education, climate, and the economy - is a recipe for disaster. We are crippling our nation by dumbing down our children, just to coddle those who are fearfully insecure in their religious faith.

This is what the corporate drive for profits is doing to our healthcare industry and our community hospitals. We must get profit out of the healthcare industry. It should not be allowed to be profit driven. This will literally be the death of Americans increasingly more often. Profit over patients.

Hedge funds should not be allowed to own anything that falls under a generous definition of basic needs (so: water, air, electricity, housing, food, agricultural lands, parks but also voting machines, public transit, libraries, newspapers, education, and art).
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
