So, after all the huge rallies nationwide yesterday, does anyone hear a single Republican member of Congress saying, "Wow. Guess we better listen to the people"?

Oh wow. Mitch didn't even vote no.
The Senate just voted, 51-49, to confirm conspiracy theorist and election denier Kash Patel to be FBI Director.

ALL Democrats and two Republicans — Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski — voted NO.

51 Republicans voted YES.

Now they’ve got Medicare and Medicaid in their sights. 😳 Be ready to resist!
Snipping one part of this to again note: it seems very few members of Congress realize what their lives are going to be like in the near future when Trump/Musk rip out some of these gears that run the America machine. They will face angry mobs everywhere they go, including their homes.

President Trump amplified unfounded claims on Thursday that the government had paid Politico and other news media outlets for positive coverage of Democrats. The conspiracy theories appear to have been generated by records showing that agencies paid for subscriptions.

As NTSB investigates the DCA crash, I wait for Trump to discover that NTSB is an independent body that reports to none of his cronies. He will disband NTSB and appoint someone who will place blame where he wants it placed. Mark my words.

Reporter (paraphrase): What makes you say diversity is to blame for the crash?

Ohhhh, here he goes. Implies that FAA hired mentally incompetent ATC because of diversity standards. Shut up, Orange Menace, you're making political hay out of a tragedy. He is incapable of staying on script.

So...Orange Menace is blaming Obama for the DCA crash?

Well, we don't need to worry about Congress shutting down the government anymore. Orange Thing is doing it all by himself.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.
