Let's ignore the negative treatment of women and minorities -- NYT column invites you to sympathize exclusively with white men who feel "like a door has been slammed in your face or closed before you ever reach it."

Restore privilege, close open doors? Repellant.

Imagine the horror of two loving parents being stabbed to death by their own son. Instead of being shaken by the mere thought, political glee and vengeful nastiness emerges from our President.

Trump is twisted and sick himself.
Donald Trump maliciously mocks the brutal murder of Michele & Rob Reiner, and Republicans don’t bat an eye. But as soon as you quote Charlie Kirk’s views, all hell breaks loose.

Speaker Mike Johnson (GOP) never, ever sees anything -- it is his classic dodge. He is a know-nothing and unfit for office, according to the words coming out of his own mouth.
Here's the advance transcript of Mike Johnson being asked by a Hill reporter about Trump's inhumane, disgusting remarks:

"Mr. Speaker, what's your reaction to President Trump's statement on the murder of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer?"

"I actually haven't seen it."

"Oh. Okay."

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Let me get this straight. You will give me back my $2000 I gave you (and more) in tariff taxes instead of just getting rid of the tariffs?

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

The lack of medical concern in ICE raids is beyond shocking. There are many film clips where an ambulance should be called -- not 6 burly men haul their likely injured target out of a car and all pile on.

One useless opinion piece -- a conservative man #Mansplaining #Feminism. The comments are uniformly critical. Enjoyed comment that the workplace does not belong to men.

The Good Grey Lady of journalism flopped -- a bad choice by the the NYTimes.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Outside ICE Broadview, near Chicago, the state just branded the crowd an ‘unlawful assembly.’ Illinois troopers lining up, masks down, chemical rounds ready. This is what ‘law and order’ looks like when the system feels fear.

Critics? Experts.

Federal law requires comprehensive asbestos inspection, notification, and abatement before any demolition," wrote the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) last week. "No publicly available information demonstrates that these statutory obligations have been fulfilled."

Critics are questioning if the demolition of the White House East Wing adhered to federal health and safety standards, including those governing the handling of asbestos.
