West Point leadership just disbanded and banned all clubs and organizations related to women, communities of color, and LGBTQ people — on orders from Trump. Cadets are also not authorized to take part in informal activities related to these clubs on campus.

DOGE wants to gut government agencies that protect you.
If Elon Musk really wanted to rein in government waste, he'd close tax loopholes and end subsidies that benefit the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.

This is unbelievable.
The Washington Post reveals that an aide working for Mike Johnson persuaded Republicans not to issue a subpoena for former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified to the Jan. 6 committee—fearing it could expose the sexual texts many of them had sent her.

David Lynch, who directed off-kilter classics, dies at 78
His sinister, surreal vision of America made him a leading counterculture auteur — with movies such as Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and Mulholland Drive, and the groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks.
