It's as if Critical Race Theory was correct all along.
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Among Trump's most serious problems: Inability to think comprehensively. Opposing vaccines is a terrible. Choosing people to serve because they have made antivaccine statements is reckless. There are major policy areas in addition to vaccines. What is Weldon's capacity to serve effectively?
President-elect Donald Trump on Friday announced that Dave Weldon is his choice to serve as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, the federal government’s top public health agency.

Yuck. This will not pass in 2024. Some of it codifies an Executive Order Trump issued in 2020 (no DEI/CRT in federal agencies). This goes extremely far--even preventing offices within agencies that deal with race, gender, SO matters.
I urge everyone to stop talking about Matt Gaetz and the dysfunctional unqualified cabinet nominees and START talking about the Dismantle DEI Act of 2024.

If people make nuanced and fact-based arguments, this shouldn't be a problem. The greatest stumbling block in today's political discourse isn't ideological bubbles or hateful people. It's data-free analysis. And we can "both sides" this one--but more so on the GOP side.

So depressing. Trump skipping background checks is:

3. Ominous

This is a test of basic journalistic skills and journalistic role-morality.
Choosing a DNI who can't pass a background check is
(a) "unconventional"
(b) "surprising"
(c) "a gross violation of American national security that raises questions about the loyalties of both the nominee and the President"
