Hi. I’d like to report a racist who is running for statewide office in Texas.

JUST IN: A federal judge concludes that DHS leaders arbitrarily decided to cut FEMA staff by 50% even though it damaged the agency's ability to fulfill its mission — and leaders hid their comms about it on auto-delete Signal chains. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
FYI, this isn't the pedophile campaign staffer whose brother tried to attack the Dem gubernatorial candidate, this is a different one

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."
25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.
In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.
BREAKING: diesel history is about to be made. $6/gal nationally — never seen before, days away, it's now in the pipeline, unavoidable.

The Supreme Court blocked the student loan forgiveness despite there being explicit statutory authority for Biden to do it and allowed the Iran War despite an explicit Constitutional prohibition on anyone besides Congress declaring a war.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · last wk.It gets worse when you remember that the Strait of Hormuz was open before the war started. So we’re spending $40B and people are dying on both sides to return to the status quo from January. Everything is socialism unless it’s money for killing people in pointless forever wars.
Trump continues to disperse disaster recovery funds based on how states vote, which for any other president or public official, in any other time, in any other country, in any other context would be a morally horrific scandal that would dominate headlines for months.

New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island will have to pay the entire cost of recovery from a major February snowstorm.

🚨🚨🚨 There's been a lot of fretting about folks losing Medicaid via the upcoming "work reporting" requirements. In fact, by my estimates, over 10 MILLION Americans have *already* likely lost healthcare coverage during the Trump 2.0 Regime. acasignups.net/26/09/03/rep...

Modelo still running a radio commercial saying “you are not to be reckoned with” like that’s a good thing.
This is what living next door to a 30 megawatt data center sounds like.

Pete Hegseth being Sec of Defense is like if Rich Kotite was hired as head coach of the Rams this year. And that’s an insult to Rich Kotite.

@joshtpm.bsky.social I’ve been reading a lot about newspapers in the early 1900s. Am I crazy for thinking some of their crusading populism and rabblerousing editorializing would work in local situations today?
This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

the press has gotten completely habituated to the ugly and hateful behavior of the people in this government so i will be surprised if anyone ever asks hegseth why he thinks it is appropriate to mock children for wanting to learn, grow and maybe serve their country
Connor Ewing@cmewing.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is a picture of two women from the Vernon Cadet Training Centre, which holds summer programming for 12-18 year olds to develop skills on the way to adulthood. Unlike Secretary Hegseth, they do not deserve contempt or ridicule.
