Hitlergate wasn't "kids"—it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.
No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"
We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

On this Memorial Day I want to honor my grandpa, a veteran of the US military. He died from cancer alongside most of his batalon in their 50s as a result of the atomic testing on Johnston Atoll.
In many ways these working class locals of Hawaii were used like experiments for militarism.

It deeply saddens me that Tulsi was from Hawaii and developing policy that denies climate crisis and harms our ‘āina.
Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal.
Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

Can the media please stop pretending and Executive Order is the same thing as a law? Educate the public on the differences and authority of each. This lack of clarity is helping to drive the chaos and attention coveted by this administration.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
