Looks like hegseth has gone out of his way here to remove Harvey Milk's name from the Navy ship that was named after him.
It is said that is was meant to be intentional during Pride Month.
I hope there's a special place in Hell for this POS.

Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship​

Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship

A new name for the Harvey Milk was not given but, according to the memo, Hegseth and Phelan are planning to announce the new name aboard the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned Navy ship.

Supposedly Hegseth is next on Miles' list of trash to take out. Fuck I hope it's true.

This. If you are an American scientist and seek to flee Team Treason's war on science, facts and academia, France has open arms.

I checked in with some old NIH friends recently. Both are in the midst of relocating to Toronto and Lyon, France. Others from same place have already done the jump. Life for the NIH, NCI and the private contractors that work for them has really been hell lately.

yeah....

And if the rich did not occupy most of Congress and sit in White House we might have a say.

guess what, dipshit: YOU have voted for this for more than 4 decades, supporting the GOP and all their treasonous Reaganite cvnts over and over again.

This is YOU, fuckstick. Tax Felix! Tax him 100% and bleed him dry. Every fucking GOP supporter that has routinely supported massive deficits, runaway spending, and the destruction of middle class wealth and international influence with their pridefully ignorant voting should be paying for this to a penny. Every single one of you asshole cnvts.

So after promising $1-2 trillion in spending cuts by DOGE, the Trump admin sends a list of DOGE cuts to Congress totaling a whopping $9.4 billion.

the damage they did for a measly $9.4 Billion is insane, literally millions of people will die.

Yes. Musk, a racist drug addled conspiracy theorist with a terminal case of Dunning-Kruger, as his first move destroyed an agency that keeps millions of people alive and represents couch change to the federal government in terms of spending. Difficult to describe him as anything but an aspiring mass murderer on the scale of somebody like Pol Pot.

This all sounds like bullshit to me but I will be happy if it’s not.

I would still never give him a dime and support sending him to prison but in the meantime I hope he does something useful.

Well it really is an awful bill for many reasons.... two non budget items in the bill are:
for 10 years state can legislate ai
judges can't penalize party for contempt (guess why that one is there)

I'm sure there are more non-budget items.

I think it is real but we haven't gotten to the full scale crack up between him and Trump personally yet. Hopefully soon.

In more from the "nobody is normalizing Nazis" news department...

In his post, Sanders said agents had seized 35 firearms at the home, including short barrel rifles and an MG42 machine gun — a type typically supported with a bipod and which was used by German troops during World War II. Other seized gear included grenade launchers, explosives, body armor, ammunition and ballistic helmets, and multiple rifles were staged at windows throughout the residence, the sheriff said.

He posted photos from the home showing an array of weapons, ammunition and body armor surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia, including a red Nazi flag emblazoned with a black swastika.

I'm sure I remember Republicans repeatedly insisting that "The US is a Republic, not a democracy". Yet here's JD Vance, declaring, in response to the courts overturning Trump dictats, that

I think that you are seeing, and I know this is inflammatory, but I think you are seeing an effort by the courts to quite literally overturn the will of the American people.

Surely, the essence of a "Republic", as opposed to a pure-majority-rule democracy, is that the rule of law takes precedence over an elected dictatorship? (I reserve the right to complain about that myself, when the boot's on the other foot - I think the US in particular usually overdoes the 'checks and balances' to a point that can produce complete immobility - but can the Right not at least be consistent about it? Given how frequently they've made a big song-and-dance about that alleged Republic/Democracy distinction)

The blather about 'the will of the people' (as expressed through the One True Leader) reminds me of how that phrase got used over-and-over post the Brexit referendum. That time the constant invocation of that phrase, with the implication that there was a single 'people' (Ein Volk?) with a single "will" (that must triumph?) reminded me of something...

Meanwhile in Minneapolis ICE came in looking like an invading army

Christopher Webb (@cwebbonline.com)

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I'd love someone to explain to me, with a straight face, why ICE agents need long arms.

Logically they don't but of course in a near dictatorship enviornment intimidation is critical; and when people resit then there will be a declaration of military law.
