Hahahaha they thought Enola Gay was an orientation!!! Honestly you can’t make this stuff up.
The military is plans to scrub photos of the Enola Gay, one of the bombers that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, from its website as part of its purge of diversity content.
It's among more than 26,000 images that the Pentagon plans to delete.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Concerns over Musk’s conflicts of interests grow as he undermines fed. regulators. DOGE has gutted “every aspect of accountability outside of the fed. court system,” says Eric Lipton.

How Musk’s Businesses Could Benefit from his work at DOGE
As Elon Musk forges ahead with his work at DOGE and expands his political influence, questions are now mounting over the possible conflicts of interest he and his businesses face.
DOGE, which is not an official government body, has targeted dozens of federal agencies–some of which regulate his own companies. They undermine the very systems designed to combat corruption and protect Americans from predatory practices. “Trump dismantled [an] accountability and ethics system that was really built up after Watergate,” notes Eric Lipton, a New York Times investigative reporter who co-authored a recent report outlining Musk’s potential conflicts. “Just about every aspect of accountability outside of the federal court system is gone.” As it stands, there’s currently no system for accountability and ethics monitoring at the federal level, Lipton said. Meanwhile, current conflict-of-interest laws are outdated and ill-equipped to address Musk’s vast business entanglements, according to Kirsten Grind, Lipton’s co-author. “He touches every single agency in some way,” she said.

The idea that tougher enforcement on illegal immigration will stop illegal drugs from flowing into the U.S. has long been a political talking point.

The primary goal of the Trump admin in the initial weeks when it comes to ICE and interior enforcement is propaganda. That’s why they’re embedding Dr. Phil of all people on an ICE operation.
The goal is to convince their supporters that a few splashy operations are the “mass deportations” promised.
