Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

The CFPB put $19.7B back into the pockets of families who were cheated by financial predators.

Let’s be honest: the only reason Trump and Musk would shut down America’s consumer watchdog is because they are corrupt—and they don’t like when anybody stops them from being corrupt.

Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app.

This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.”

Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’

What you generally don’t want is a government run by ideologues whose only qualification is loyalty to the party leader. Also spreading chaos and anxiety throughout the federal government while giving an unelected billionaire full access to government data and locking out the experts is suboptimal.
