NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

"coffee is only good when it is served in jim crow conditions"
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

"When they actually did the claw back, it caused the account to overdraft by $79.5 million," says NYC Comptroller Brad Lander on Trump yanking back funds from NYC.

"Citibank charged us a $15,000 overdraft fee. I'm happy to say, I reached out to Citibank, and they have refunded the overdraft fee."

The number of MAGAs messaging me with glee about Trump's freeze on vital services is remarkable.

How do we explain to them that GOP states are most reliant on federal welfare, that white people are most reliant on federal welfare, & this freeze hurts them the MOST?

Dying of whiteness is real. smh

Keep hearing people say “2020s America is becoming 1930s Germany.”

Ok but 1930s Hitler sent his lawyers to USA to learn how U.S. Govt enforced Jim Crow laws & reported back that the American system is too extreme—even for Nazis.😳

Fact is 2020s USA is becoming 1920s USA—It’s what MAGA always meant.
