Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign.

She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

A DHS official accidentally included a journalist on a detailed message having no classified info but detailed upcoming plans. She was put on leave and told her security clearance was revoked. Why are Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard & the rest of the lot still working again?!

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Zero accountability.
Trump administration philosophy: You can get away with anything if you can pin the blame on someone else.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz attempts to pin the blame of the Signal fiasco on "this journalist," who did not invite himself to the group chat, and merely quoted those who did. Disgraceful.
