Opinion | Trump and Hegseth’s backward-facing message to the generals
A preoccupation with “woke” culture and “enemies” won’t prepare the military for the high-tech demands of 21st-century war.

"Americans cannot trust the federal government’s health advice" www.statnews.com/2025/09/23/t...
The U.S. government has jumped the public health shark
“The Trump regime sees science as an enemy and public health as only fit for personal anecdotes and conspiracy,” writes Arthur Caplan.

Tom Nichols nailed it in this brief piece. Has Trump so infiltrated the military command that scenes like this can happen?

vtdigger.org/2025/06/06/t... Calling this travel ban blatantly racist is charitable. It plays no role in further protecting us, in fact it does quite the opposite as we betray commitments to "friends" and families.
Trump’s most sweeping travel ban yet draws anxiety, criticism in Vermont - VTDigger
The order is “blatantly racist, and rooted in unfounded fear and political posturing,” said Molly Gray, executive director of the Afghan Alliance in Burlington, in a statement this week.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

Two refugee families. Two very different experiences under Trump.
