Crispy Gnome being in charge of the Department of Homeland Security is just dumb. Crispy Gnome going on Fox tv to lie about the events is just fucking deplorable.
I wonder who in the GOP/MAGA will speak out against this.
Sadly, I’m guessing no one.

Benjamin Bradley, an enslaved man, was a genius who built an engine for a war ship with his bare hands and scrap metal.
He taught himself math and engineering.
Mr. Bradley never received credit for his inventions.

When you stop counting the costs and dollar damages of natural disasters, it’s true you might save some money by not adding up those numbers, but you also have no way to account for waste fraud and abuse (WFA). The very WFA that the GOP seems to believe happens in conjunction with all disasters.

Our current political system has Americans bent over a barrel. We’re exploited, robbed of our education, wealth and health, deported, jailed and murdered before our eyes. We must stand up to this tyranny; engage in a general strike; bring the country to a standstill until the orange plague resigns!

I'm possibly on some watch lists now but I honestly believe this is an issue that we need to speak out on, especially in the context of an election with one party endorsing these sorts of views. Academic freedom without diverse views is not free. Thanks to The Guardian #auspol #histmed #disability
The intellectual isolation of the US is a serious problem for all of us. The article features a couple of our outspoken Sydney HPS grad students. Obstacles to the brilliant trans student doing a PhD in the US are very disturbing.

We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections
That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan

🤡 Trump talks the talk but DOESN'T walk the walk!
In Trump's 1st term, he PROMISED to bring back Manufacturing, GROW the economy, ELIMINATE the federal debt, CREATE a new health plan, etc, etc, etc.
Trump had 4 years, but he DIDN’T do any of ot it!
Trump FAILED then & is already FAILING again!

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.
This isn't due to luck or skill.
Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
