This is incorrect: (1) Department of War was just the Army, not the Navy and Marine Corps; and (2) the President does not have the authority, only Congress can make that change in the law. Be better, @npr.org.
The change will return the department to a name that it carried for much of its history, until it became the Department of Defense in the wake of World War II.

this whole video of tech CEOs kissing authoritarian ass is genuinely one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen in my life absolute, feckless fawning by a long list of pudding-brained simps who should never be taken seriously on any subject ever again

On the surface, Trump’s "paid protesters" rhetoric is obviously absurd, but the subtext is worse: He believes Americans who side with him are real, while Americans who disagree with him should be seen as inauthentic, illegitimate, and the result of corrupt schemes. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
REPORTER: President Putin, will you stop killing civilians? PUTIN: *taps ear*

Why? In part, because the destruction of USAID has made it near impossible to distribute the food. Calculations suggest that it could have fed every starving child in Gaza for a week. And roughly a million dollars up in smoke — due to DOGE.
"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it" @hana-kiros.bsky.social, on spending $130,000 to burn food worth $800,000 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
