Eliminating this should be on the next president first day to do list
Final Schedule F rule published: in defiance of the vast majority of public comments, it commits to further politicizing government, removing anyone the Trump administration dislikes.

Newspapers are rarely money makers. They are a labor of love of truth and democracy.
Bezos doesn't need the money; he could invest in it and not miss a dime. And the Post's business model is not "broken." Bezos broke it. It could be fixed.

If you can, take a few minutes to watch us run through the parade of lies from DHS.
“The official story—promulgated by Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller and JD Vance—was a lie. They are lying to you. They're lying to us. They know it. And in fact, they seem proud of it,” says Chris Hayes on JD Vance saying he won’t apologize for labeling Alex Pretti an “assassin.”

I went on Fox News yesterday morning to explain that while the focus is on Minneapolis, Trump is trampling rights everywhere. All over the country, thousands of LEGAL immigrants, including little kids, are being disappeared.
That's what happens in Putin's Russia, not America.

“Republican mega donor says Trump lied about who pays tariffs ..."
So is Ken Griffith (a billionaire) saying that he didn’t “know" how tariffs worked, or is he saying he did know but decided to say nothing and is only now saying something since it is going really bad?
