Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

We knew this was coming from the petty bitchass in charge... The museum said that the subsidy cuts may force it to cancel workshops for teachers on the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Raskin: They want to go back to the idea that the law doesn’t apply to them in anyway, they’re not bound by the law, and they can use the law to crush other people

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Paul Weiss, one of the nation’s most prominent law firms, made a deal with President Trump to escape an executive order that would have prevented it from representing many clients before the federal government. Many in the legal field are condemning the agreement.

Yeah, MAGAts view Habitat for Humanity as suspicious because they can’t imagine doing something to improve the world— and certainly not do it for free

When you're talking to someone MAGA about a false "belief" they hold, there's an interesting two-step. First, they assert the lie and hope you don't know enough or are brave enough to confront them. If they are confronted with the truth, they pivot to "it's okay to lie because liberals deserve it."

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

A small group of protesters hung an inverted American flag — historically used as a sign of distress in Yosemite National Park — on Saturday. The protest came just over a week after the Trump administration abruptly fired at least 1,000 National Park Service employees. nyti.ms/4ka2zwF
