The White House just launched a “Hall of Shame” webpage to name and shame reporters whose coverage Trump doesn’t like. What an anti–First Amendment stunt. Honestly? Everyone should try to get on it and wear it like a badge of honor.

We NEED the Dept. of Education—no matter how much Republicans try to tell you otherwise.
Schools need funding. Students’ rights need to be protected. Teachers & parents need data to know how to help kids succeed.
But Trump & McMahon are breaking all of that to pieces.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

There is no excuse for what this man did. But the story to be told here is not one that has anything to do with Afghans, let alone non-white immigration to the U.S. generally. It has to do with the evil shit that happens in war, and that the U.S. often gets others to do, and how it destroys psyches.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The rest of the press looks cowardly when it stands there silently while Trump repeatedly insults female reporters.
In less than 2 weeks, Trump has called one female reporter “piggy,” another female reporter “ugly“ and a third female reporter “stupid.”

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000.
