The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Does Donald Trump honestly expect us to take seriously the notion that Fox weekend's Pete Hegseth, The Real World's Sean Duffy, RFK Jr, Dr. Oz, Kash Patel, and JD Vance represent the "height of genius" and the "best and brightest" -- his proclaimed standards for his government? Seriously?

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.
REPORTER: I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.
TRUMP: Because I have common sense, ok? And unfortunately a lot of people don't

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to:
"I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long-held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

My OFoxMax outrage-content watching Dad has been visiting this week. I super love my Dad & it makes me sad that we can't talk about the news. At the same time, I respect him too much to try to "deprogram" him by force (block his channels, etc). Research suggests a better way:

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
