Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook
An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Future is an Army veteran who did mission-critical work at VA Puget Sound until she was abruptly fired for no reason by Trump & Elon.
She shared how disheartening it is to hear the Trump administration smear veterans & VA employees as unfit.

The State House of Representatives passed legislation to prevent the National Guard from other states from entering Washington without our permission.
I look forward to signing it and joining a bipartisan group of states that have this protection.

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.
UPDATE — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now commented on the Trump admin’s detaining & attempted green card revocation of a Columbia Gaza encampment student negotiator:
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

“Leave NOAA alone, Mr. Musk. For all our sakes.”
Elon Musk is following the Project 2025 playbook by targeting NOAA—the agency that tracks hurricanes, climate change, and environmental hazards. But, as Jeff Nesbit explains, the NOAA isn’t a “climate change cabal.” It’s a life-saving agency.

The agency's data gathering and reporting—about hurricanes, heat waves, torrential rains and other extreme weather events—save lives.
