The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy. Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU. Will Europe finally listen?

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

The majority in an unsigned order says: "The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections." Kagan in dissent: "The majority today loses sight of its proper role."

WaPo is reporting that Bradley told lawmakers that Hegseth DID give a kill order.

Bradley participated in at least five closed-door meetings over about eight hours Thursday. Two people familiar with his discussions throughout the day said the admiral confirmed that Hegseth had given a verbal order ahead of the operation to kill the passengers and destroy the boat. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity, because all of the sessions Thursday were classified. They were not authorized to identify the lawmakers to whom Bradley made this

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

It is a TOP priority of the GOP to get rid of vote by mail because they can’t intimidate and challenge voters based on race with mail in voting. I wish I could believe that Dems will actually fight them on this, but we know Chuck and Hakeem. Whatever the AIPAC position is, is what they will do.

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.

DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says

The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.
