This is what the current administration is prioritizing. Banning military cadets from participating in clubs with their peers. When they say, "DEI is incompatible with the values of the DOD," they really mean "We don't want women or minorities to feel welcome here, and they should know their place."

This is a bribe, not a settlement. Private corporations are not beholden to the First Amendment, which specifically grants freedom from the GOVERNMENT.

When Thomas wrote in Dobbs, "In future cases, we should reconsider all of this court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell . . . " lawyers sounded the alarm. The public didn't listen, and now we're facing the fallout.

This revenge tour is disturbing, and reeks of fascism. If military generals aren't protected, what makes you think any of us are safe?
Hegseth told the Senate he’d protect the inspector general’s independence. But after Trump illegally fired the IG, he’s weaponizing government investigations to go after Gen. Milley.

It’s a warning sign that Hegseth’s focused more on political retribution than national security.

Let's be clear: If the new administration eliminates the CFPB, debt collectors, banks, and financial institutions can and will continue to do this sort of thing, except now they will be unchecked.

Coming out this year just in time for me to take it on my camping trip! 😍
As I am a writer and must peddle my wares lest I die in the abyss, hey! In April 2025, THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS emerges from the fog and the trees and if you wanted to pre-order it from your favorite local bookstore -- or get signed, personalized copies from Doylestown Bookshop -- that'd be nice.

The death of our "Free Press" is only the start of what we'll see from this corrupt administration.
Holy cow. Executives at CBS’s parent company have discussed settling Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News/60 Minutes, because they need the Trump administration to sign off on a planned corporate merger. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Defense Secretary nominee in US history.

-Mismanaged a veteran's nonprofit into the ground
-Reports of public intoxication at work
-Accused of rape
-Thinks women can't serve in combat

How can we trust him to protect our national security?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel, is seeking answers from Pete Hegseth to more than 70 questions in advance of his confirmation hearing next week.
