The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Another ominous development: The Social Security Administration is no longer allowing parents in Maine to register newborns for SSNs at hospital after birth, is instead requiring them to visit a Social Security Office to register their children.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns
The change — immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates — eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.

Analysis | Americans don’t love Trump’s methods on Ukraine
They increasingly support a negotiated end to the war and even territorial concessions to Russia — but not necessarily like this.

The Trump administration is full of traitors loyal to Russia. Treat this like the emergency it is.
No country in their right mind should ever buy weapons from the United States again if our president can just shut them off as an act of treason or manipulation.

Trump literally thinks "transgenic" mice are "transgender" and that "political asylum" means someone came from an "insane asylum" and the press just plays along like this isn't suicidal madness
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

The new VA secretary spoke to PBS. I worked at VA headquarters from 2009-2012 and can tell you a few things:
1. He's lost and has no idea how the Department of Veterans Affairs actually works
2. He will oversee the most significant degradation in services since the 1970s
3. Veterans need to prepare

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

They're going to destroy the Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically the VA healthcare system. Firing this many employees will render it effectively unusable by increasing patient wait times to the point of uselessness.
VA plans to lay off as many as 83,000 employees this year
A leaked memo released Tuesday called for VA to slash its workforce to 2019 levels that were in place before millions of veterans became newly eligible for care.
