Reminder: Hegseth's "no beardo" policy is just his not-so-subtle way to push out Black troops.

If only Pete Hegseth's military shaving crusade was just stupid
Hegseth knows damn well who he's pushing out: Black troops.

Every Pete Hegseth speech just sounds like the worst kid in middle school fell asleep watching Patton and forgot he had to give a book report in English class the next day

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

This is the problem I've had with all the remixes. And it's not just "on streaming". The original mixes of all the post-1966 Beatles albums are out of print physically too.

Want to know where Hegseth got this hypermasculine and toxic ethos? Look no further than Doug Wilson, the self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and spiritual advisor to the Secretary of Defense.
motherjones.com
Pete Hegseth dreams of holy war. Meet his spiritual adviser.
Doug Wilson preaches iron discipline and male dominance. One of his disciples runs the Pentagon.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

In many red states, it's simply a question of whether you can get Trump's endorsement. So we wind up with idiots like Eric Schmitt, Tuberville and Darline Graham, if she wins I mean, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker because Trump told them to, for G-d's sake. And he almost beat Ossoff

this story is nuts — UNC Health briefly adopted BidShift, a platform that has nurses bid against eachother for hard-to-fill shifts, so that the hourly premium rate (already substantially lower than it was pre-pandemic) keeps dropping. It pivoted after backlash.
