Mediocre white man terrorism is what runs this country. Rejection is just too hard for their soft egos.
This story is horrific.

To impose nationalism on citizens, Hitler used very big monuments. The weaponization of architecture was 1 of his strongest forms of propaganda using classical Greek/Roman architecture b/c it was used in a time when only whites had rights making classical architecture a display of Nazi Aryan beliefs

A model of President Trump's proposed triumphal arch to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary was seen on the Resolute Desk as the president held a press conference in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

When asked on Wednesday who the arc is for, Trump told CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe: “Me.”

This entire thread explains why Trump's money laundering to pay the troops is a crime.

Here's the key bit.

Bobby Kogan @bbkogan.bsky.social · 9h

But here's the problem: if you tried to transfer that money into the military personnel accounts (milpers), it would immediately transform into money whose period of availability ended on September 30, 2025 - and thus not be usable anymore, despite the money existing.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

The government may be shut down but Trump is still lining his pockets and that seems to be all that matters.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

A huge and consequential argument in the SCOTUS tomorrow. Is SCOTUS hell-bent in gutting the Voting Rights Act?

The Two Section Twos

The Protection Against Racial Gerrymandering in Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is Constitutional. Just Read Section 2 of the 14th Amendment.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.
