The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

OPEN LETTER TO @politifact.bsky.social:
PolitiFact's reporting on the SAVE Act downplays the voter suppression effects. By being overly focused on technical wording they overlook real-world impact.
takedemocracyback.org urges PolitiFact to update their rating to account for disproportionate harm.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.
A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”
A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”

These Conservative Christian prophets of doom had everything about the approaching moral disaster here correct, except for one thing: its source.
They neglected to predict the actual genesis of this great national decimation.

30 years ago today, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech at the time. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.
