Really? DEI again? All because they opened it up to girls? Sad for military families who get relocated-scouting is a constant for the kids.
This is rich coming from Hegseth, who would flunk any real test of merit. His entire ascent rests on loyalty politics, not ability, which makes his sermon about ‘meritocracy’ almost self-parody.

Yep. Keep capitulating to this monster. Don't worry, he'll change for you. You can change him. He's only 80, a convicted felon, and an adjudicated rapist with 67 sex-crime allegations on him. Just keep rolling over. If you roll over enough maybe we can have the whole fucking world in flames by 2028.

The GOP Greedy Old Party would have continued to fire and shut down services now and in the future (see Project 2025) anyway!
Trump: “The Democrats are getting killed on the shutdown because we’re closing up programs that are Democrat programs that we were opposed to. And they are never going to come back in many cases. So we’re being able to do things that we were unable to do before.”

Shame on Netanyahu, he can’t stand the idea of people gaining access to food, water and medical supplies! He is a war criminal.
Over 600 trucks supplied with aid to Gazans still waiting to get in. Netanyahu says he’ll only allow half, which is not enough, but still at this point has not allowed ANY in.
Why? Maybe because this “ceasefire” is not going to last much longer.

The resolution states that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948).” Continue reading...

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."

We hope to see you out there at the nationwide protest today. Let’s raise our voices, honor the workers who’ve been cast aside, and keep fighting for the dignity and security every worker deserves. We hope you enjoy the day, you’ve earned it. 💚
