For all the various hand wringing culture war nonsense about "things you're not allowed to say anymore", an actual thing you're apparently not allowed to say for risk of drawing down the wrath of Big Brother is "I do not mourn for Charlie Kirk."

It is wild that Charlie Kirk of all things is becoming *the* litmus test.
Even just talking about the event publicly without a sufficient supply of sackcloth and ashes is cast as "promoting political violence." I haven't seen this kind of mandatory performance of allegiance and piety since 9/11.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

It's telling that so many public figures are more concerned with the death of a man who thought the way he died was the price you paid to live in America, while ignoring the children who were shot at a school a few minutes later.

As of 7:45PM ET, protests of historic size are happening in Chicago and NYC, the other two of the three largest cities in America.
There are no reports of violence.
Why? Because police are standing back and letting people peacefully express themselves.

Yes this agency is more or less a free enormous benefit for the public and a cost to rich frauds
Everyone should be pointing out what is happening at CFPB. There is zero argument to be made here that this is being done to provide taxpayer value. The agency's budget is minuscule, averaging like $600 million/year, yet it has obtained $20 billion in payments from corporations to Americans
Exclusive | Russell Vought Taking Over as New Acting Head of CFPB
Trump fired the CFPB’s Biden-era leader earlier this week, putting in place Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who froze the agency’s work.

Sure hope there's not a health crisis of any kind in the next (1 to 1460) days.
The Trump admin has instructed federal health agencies — including the FDA, CDC, and NIH — to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
