Best summary yet of the ridiculous place we are in.

First Melania rips off Michelle Obama, then Hegseth rips off Samuel L. Jackson. Additional evidence that their anti-DEI bullshit is just envy.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California Supreme Court orders sheriff to pause investigation into 2025 special election and preserve seized ballots.
Time for apology #3 - this time with the words, "I respect Dawn Staley." Come on dude. Be a big boy. You messed up and keep trying to be cute with the half-assed apologies. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
Dawn Staley is awesome. A legend. Incredible leader. She should be the first woman coach in the NBA.
And I hope she runs for office one day. Maybe she can be the one to run against and defeat Lindsey Graham.

MacFarlane: How do you staff back up a DOJ when it's being so explicit with its politicization? It makes it difficult to recruit across the country to a job that used to be pretty easy to recruit for. Who wants a piece of a politicized DOJ job?
LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.
Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2
Albert Podrasky, Chief Justice Roberts’ grandfather, born in the U.S. to parents who were not citizens, was an American citizen. Why not the U.S.-born child today of a migrant from Africa? Or El Salvador? Or Honduras?
Medical schools will no longer be required to teach about health inequities. The change comes as political pressure about diversity, equity and inclusion grows. Experts say removing DEI from the guidelines will affect patient care.

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah?
Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.
A US judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Elon Musk's X which accused a group of advertisers and major companies of illegally boycotting his platform.

BREAKING
A federal judge GRANTS a preliminary injunction protecting Anthropic from the Pentagon’s retaliation.
Background www.allrisenews.com/p/anthropic-...
Trump makes it clear to News Nation he’s holding TSA/DHS funding to get his “SAVE” (Republicans) voter suppression bill passed — including some anti-trans stuff
He then doubled down and posted about it
TLDR: So thank Trump for the long airport lines
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org
religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...
BREAKING:
Hegseth says 'family after family' of service members killed urged the admin to "not stop until the job is done."
But the father of one of those service members says he never said that.
"I can't speak for the other families. When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about."
Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"
Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
Again, more evidence that it was never about qualifications. It is about who is willing to pledge an oath to the King instead of the Constitution.
Trump’s entire life and now Presidency is just a series of stupid and evil acts to distract from the previous stupid and evil act.
“Rep. Haley Steven has just introduced the No Getting Rich in Congress Act and it is absolutely brutal.
The bill would ban the President, Vice President, and members of Congress along with their families from buying stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities & futures.”
These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.
How dare her!! 🧐🤨
"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
