Not a single grand jury of Americans declined to prosecute Trump. They all returned indictments.

@ShabazzStuart My latest experience, which has happened numerous times now, is a car, stopped behind a car stopped at a red light, decides to overtake said car and blow through the red light from the adjacent lane. Insanely dangerous.

is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc

"women don't want to be mothers" - no. women don't want to bear the burden of motherhood alone.

there are too many men who want a wife and kids without having to be a husband and a father.

Trump announced that Elon Musk will lead a new department to cut government spending.

Looking at government subsidies for Musk's companies, we can be pretty sure where he will *not* be cutting.

The conflict of interest is mind-boggling.

The latest US literacy stats have just dropped and they are every bit as grim as you might imagine.

"Approximately 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels"

The House is set to vote TODAY on new legislation that could give the Treasury Secretary the unilateral and unprecedented authority to go after nonprofits that the White House disagrees with.

The bill is anti-democratic and must not pass.

Kristi Noem, our country's new border guard dog, is banned from all nine Native American reservations in South Dakota because she repeatedly lied by linking drug cartels to tribal leadership in the state.

NEWS

The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a "warrior board" of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals of any deemed unfit for leadership.

If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be "lacking in requisite leadership qualities.”

But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect's past vow to fire "woke generals.”

As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon's regular promotion system.

The implications for nonprofit newsrooms are ... alarming:

"H.R. 9495, would grant the secretary of the Treasury Department unilateral authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be a 'terrorist supporting organization.'"

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

This is why there were so many people killed during floods in Valencia, Spain. The local right wing administration had cut the budget weather forecasts and an early warning system, on the excuse that climate change was a hoax. There are now riots calling for their removal.
