Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.

What an unbelievable asshole.

The President's tariff over-reach forced the (American) courts to rule against him, which in turn has severely undermined America's bargaining power in trade negotiations. It's (another) pointless unforced error from an Administration that won't think before it acts.

It is worth reading this speech in its entirety … especially the part about taking risks.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Thanks to the advocacy of Black Alabamians and organizations like @allontheline.bsky.social, Black voters in Alabama will continue voting in fair congressional districts that allow them to elect candidates of their choice. This is a win for Alabama, and proof that progress is possible.
Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters in Congressional redistricting, judges rule
The court-ordered map, used in the 2024 elections, resulted in Alabama electing two Black representatives to Congress for the first time in history.
