Shooting unarmed protestors is not theoretical. President Trump gave that order to the previous Secretary of Defense in his first term. That Secretary didnโ€™t carry out that and other orders because he had the guts to stand up to a President.

The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didnโ€™t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

An average of 10 of my Voice of America colleagues per day in the past week have been receiving letters informing them that their contracts will be terminatedโ€œfor convenience.โ€ As of today more than 50 of these outstanding VOA journalists on personal service contracts have been fired. #SaveVOA

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing โ€˜gender identity and expressionโ€™ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."

Marc Thiessen has possibly the worst take/excuse for this bit of inexcusable incompetence and obvious attempt to avoid accountability, which is no surprise to anyone who is familiar with the inexcusable incompetence of Marc Thiessen.

Itโ€™s such a stupid lie because itโ€™s such a small town.

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that heโ€™s โ€œnever met, donโ€™t know, never communicated withโ€ Jeffrey Goldberg. Hereโ€™s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy. The event Waltz attendedโ€”a Q&A with a French filmmakerโ€”was moderated by Goldberg.

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, itโ€™s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.
