Maybe you are engaging in politics or social activism for the first time.

That does not mean that this is the first time ANYONE is engaging with politics or social activism.

It’s a long game, that has been played for generations.

Breaking news: President Trump replaced the architect he handpicked to design his $300 million White House ballroom.

It is unclear whether he was fired or resigned.

Although the two had clashed over the size of the project, the decisive factor was the small firm’s limited capacity to handle such an enormous project.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

Until He’s Dead Or In Prison, EVERY Election Must Be A Referendum On Trump
Two days ago, Trump unleashed the ugliest, most bigoted stuff about brown and black immigrants. About Somalian-Americans. And his entire cabinet just sat there and nodded. Yesterday, he unleashed even uglier stuff about Somalian-Americans. And the Congress people and business executives just stood there and nodded. Silence is complicity. The entire Republican Party owns his racism, bigotry, and cruelty. So every election for the foreseeable future must be about him. Period.

This level of going after the administration is actually pretty stunning from a same party chair.
