hegseth is substituting fitness drills for actual strategy because he lacks the depth to handle modern warfare. it's a classic case of substituting performative masculinity for competence while the real threat from iran remains unaddressed.

Thank you. We're going to see a million variations in the future of "native born white/heritage American" in an effort by people whose ancestors immigrated from Europe attempting to exercise exclusive control of the discourse on the appropriate boundaries of citizenship and belonging.

Having a reality TV presidency with a leader who thinks the job is all about the spectacle and has zero class and very little knowledge and understanding is pretty humiliating, too.

Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee says he won't stop Thursday's scheduled execution of Tony Carruthers, a severely mentally ill man who was forced to represent himself *at his own capital murder trial* because the judge simply got tired of dealing with him

I don't think I've ever heard of an executive first proposing to sue his own executive agency--while in office--who then drops the suit and simply demands a couple of billion dollars for a "slush fund" for himself, f/b/o his thugs and cronies.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

You are up to date.
