IMO, a huge accomplishment by these journalists. Today, courage to resists Totalitarianism seems limited to 'Blue-activists' only. I applaud them. Unity among the media outweighs the risks of secret governance by the AFP (Amer. Fascist Party). We are past reaction & should be "Pro-Active"! #NoKings

Did they discover Belgium disabled Ole "Loose-Lips" email or hide his alcohol while he was in-flight? Does he have a mischievous Admiral or General flying with him? 🤣

In a clear rebuke of recent federal health policy, 15 Democratic governors announced today they’ve formed a public health alliance that breaks with guidance from the Trump administration and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Dumbing-Down Americans has been a GOP-Conservative strategy MOST popularized by Nixon/Agnew but started back in 1952. Nixon's running mate in 1952, attacked Adlai Stevenson as an "Egg Head". Nixon, Geo Wallace & Agnew would villainize intellectuals from then on as un-American. Now Trump/Vance/MAGA!

55K Americans died NOT to enable a future for draft-dodgers, wealthy folks, & "thoughts & ideas control". IT IS THE MEDIA, who may play the greatest role of "Hero/Heroin" in today's Government! From genocides to slavery, religion to Asian paranoia, media is hero or collaborator! Thank you, Heroes!

Today in an interview with NBC News, Vance said that Trump was considering all of his options for deploying the National Guard to major cities, including invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, which grants the president emergency powers to deploy troops on U.S. soil.

This conspiracy theory isn’t just false, it’s a calculated attempt to erode trust in democracy itself, and to shift blame for one of the darkest days in modern American history onto those who tried to defend it.

The agency plays a critical role in supporting students with disabilities, guiding families, funding key programs, and ensuring that states meet their obligations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

“They have to come to work. You got to show up. That’s your job,” Duffy said. Maybe someone should let the House know they have to work too.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Pam Bondi has threatened to lock up anyone who touches an ICE agent. It’s like she’s telling people if they touch a federal agent, they better make it count because they’re getting locked up anyway.
This is exactly what they want.
