I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Pete Hegseth, who has been rebuked by the pope and the leaders of several other churches for a stream of heretical statements (statements inconsistent with Christian theology and dogma), appoints himself the supreme authority over all chaplains serving in the US Armed Forces.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Without press freedom, we do not truly live in a free society. This is why I urge the news media to boycott the White House in response to Trump's ban on CNN, MS Now, and Politico. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.

It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods. It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides. It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”. None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. There is only one thing that will.

While Trump wants everyone to focus on his fake cash giveaways, this is the single most consequential story of the moment. Iran-backed Houthis just took effective control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait, one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.

The Trump administration plans to reinstall Arlington National Cemetery's Confederate Memorial, defying a congressionally mandated commission, while removing language explaining how the monument romanticizes the Confederacy and sanitizes slavery. This story was first reported by The Washington Post.
