Hogbreath's female-phobia is getting pthological
Congress requires DOD to facilitate Scouts activities but the Secretary can ignore the law in cases where it is “detrimental to national security." Hegseth is preparing to do so because the scouts have become too inclusive of girls.

To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger…
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.
We’ve fallen far.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.

This should end any doubts that the Trump administration threats to universities under the guise of fighting antisemitism was BS. Many of us said so at the time.
Swastikas, nooses are no longer classified as hate symbols by the Coast Guard they’re just “divisive”.

As I told the Columbia Journalism Review, this swatting incident occurred just before I published an investigative report that unmasked the operators of four major neo-Nazi accounts on X. I don't think the timing was coincidental.
