The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico." That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II. Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.

Trump and Hegseth are bumbling incompetents costing us a fortune daily while depleting our weapons and strategic oil reserves and making everything you buy more expensive because of $6 diesel.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

The culture of fear and intimidation instilled at the Department of Defense all stemming from Pete Hegseth’s incompetence and insecurities. A never ending quest to hide the truth from the American people and hunt down anyone who lets the truth leak out.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned
Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Trump claims he’s transferring $10 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to his so-called “Board of Peace” a private entity he created for his own enrichment. #BlueCrew
Alt Text: Image of Donald Trump at a podium with a blurred “Board of Peace” banner in the background. Overlaid text reads: “Trump says he’s transferring $10 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars to his ‘Board of Peace.’ According to the Board of Peace charter, it has NOTHING to do with American government. It’s a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment. This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.”
