They always have been racist:

"Chen seemed so mild and centrist that at one point I called him a closet Democrat. Taken aback, he replied: 'How am I a closet Democrat? I’m racist, I love guns and I hate welfare.'"

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Derek Guy @dieworkwear: About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, where by packages valued under $800 could slide in without duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
