This is one of the biggest tests the voters of America have ever faced. They are testing us to see how much we will let them get away with.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.
Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Donald Trump’s nonstop barrage of unlawful orders is designed to confuse and overwhelm us. But that doesn’t mean the administration has a clear plan for how to actually get things done. Jay Kuo broke down the administration's cat-and-mouse game for The Big Picture.

This is absolutely batshit crazy. It's infuriating... Weather information is SO important. NOAA weather warnings are life saving, from North Carolina to California to New Jersey to Florida, etc.

I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26
