It's time for your Friday reality check!
Trump is so weak and insecure, he had a childish tantrum about an escalator. He is in such severe cognitive decline, he can't pronounce "acetaminophen" or walk in a straight line.
He's a rapist, a felon, and a national disgrace.
Don't surrender in advance.

The undermining of public schools by Republicans is intentional.
If the public schools are ruined, "vouchers" for private charter schools are easier to push on the public.
The tax dollars that once went to public schools then go to businesses called "Christian churches." Glory!

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption *the* central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

now that more of these rulings are coming down I wouldn’t be surprised if the doge dipshit nopes out sooner than later, declaring victory and leaving a huge mess for others to clean up
The judge said he can't stop agencies from terminating those employees on their own but that they cannot be ordered by OPM to do so.
The judge also wants OPM boss Charles EZELL to testify under oath next month about his communications to agencies about terminations.

Amen to that.
I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Authoritarians want you to betray each other but they also encourage you to betray yourself through an inner moral collapse- you give up your agency and let the leader "fix it," and you disregard your moral compass.

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too.
This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters.
