Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

"...under Schedule A, candidates already have to be qualified for the position with or without an accommodation. They don’t get a job solely because they have a disability."
That's why I am tiring of so-called Woke politics, so they can blame us for wasting money.

After weeks of targeting federal workers with layoffs, the Trump administration's latest move to destroy minimum wage protections for workers on federal contracts gives thousands of corporations in the private sector free reign to rip off their employees:

By tearing up a Biden-era executive order that set a minimum wage for workers on federal contracts, the Trump administration has made some private sector workers vulnerable to pay cuts of up to 25 percent.

So what?
Republicans don't care. They have power. They flex it when they have it. They will literally tell Dems and America: "OK, try to stop us. You can't. Cry harder, Libs!" and then laugh.
