So when the right says “free speech” they just mean “rape and sex trafficking”?

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers
The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

In the 1890s, tariffs reduced government income, increased government expenditure, and undercut foreign investors’ confidence in U.S. reliability, leading to catastrophic effects for ordinary Americans.

Tariffs haven't changed. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-love...
Trump Loves the 1890s But He’s Clueless About Them
The tariffs he keeps babbling about didn’t make that decade great. They helped usher in a depression.

Many of our problems stem from too many men being concerned with looking like the good guy instead of being the good guy.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering.

Alas. We're all in it now.

71 years old and finally achieving his dream of killing children.

Not just some children here or there, like he's been doing, but thousands of children annually, systematically, by destroying one of the pillars of public health, one of the greatest achievements of humanity.
The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.
