The Trump administration moves forward on plans to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, a move that, to put it mildly, has sparked a lot of reactions. It’s a change that, at face value, seems to be a straightforward renaming, but the implications and the context surrounding it are, let’s just say, complicated.
First off, the practicalities of such a change are pretty significant. Think about all the signage, the stationery, the websites, the official documents – everything would need to be updated. It’s going to be a costly undertaking, and as some have pointed out, those costs will likely be borne by taxpayers.… Continue reading

Maxine Waters urged for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against President Trump due to his actions, specifically his removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board.

Trump’s global tariffs are unlawful, appeals court says, and that’s a pretty straightforward statement. It’s the kind of news that makes you think, “Well, duh,” especially when you consider the whole situation. The court case has been dragging on for eight months, and the fact that the tariffs were allowed to stay in place while the legal wrangling unfolded is, frankly, a little infuriating. It essentially allowed these allegedly unlawful actions to continue for a significant period, with no immediate consequences. It’s the kind of thing that breeds cynicism, isn’t it?
The response from Trump, as reported, was pretty dramatic. Warning that blocking the tariffs “would literally destroy the United States of America” feels like an overwrought reaction, to say the least.… Continue reading
Governor Gavin Newsom criticized former President Donald Trump at a press conference regarding California’s crime suppression program.

Democrats are on offense with the Epstein case, & they’re winning? It’s tough to say that’s the reality, isn’t it? Honestly, the immediate reaction is a bit of skepticism. The core problem is that even if you’re sympathetic to the notion that there’s political capital to be made here, the evidence just doesn’t seem to bear it out.
It feels like a fantasy at this point. The whole narrative of the Democrats having a backbone, suddenly taking on the fascists, and winning is hard to swallow. Especially when you look at how things play out on the ground. Go and check any of the conservative forums online, and they are almost completely done with the Epstein stuff.… Continue reading

Several officials cited the administration’s policies, especially concerning the adult and children’s immunization schedule, as the reason for their departures.
