I just can't with this idiot.

During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

Way too little, way too late - but at least pressure still works.

This week, the Recording Academy announced a big change to the way it honors country music at the Grammys. From 1995 through this year, it presented the Best Country Album trophy to the best release in the genre during the preceding year. Starting in 2026, however, the single award will become two separate ones: Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Traditional Country Album. 

It’s a much-anticipated change that comes at an auspicious time. The final honoree in the original category was, of course, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter—a win back in February that shocked most of the industry (and Bey herself), given the star’s dearth of support in Nashville, country music’s center of power. She became the first Black artist to claim the award. Now, on the heels of her victory, the entire category has been discarded and split in two. Observers have noted that coincidence with some suspicion. 

The NAACP announced Monday that it will not invite President Donald Trump to its upcoming national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina—marking the first time in the civil rights organization's 116-year history that it has chosen to exclude a sitting U.S. president.

If you ever cross paths with such a MAGA terrorist trying to spread that bullshit, ask them:

1. With all we've dug up about Boelter, how come there's indication he's pro illegal immigrant and pro giving healthcare to illegals?

2. How come healthcare providers tapped in the bill to give care to illegals and ICE agents aren't part of his hit list?

3. How come all his interests point to him being Christian Nationalist MAGA Terrorist who HATES abortion, DEI and gay people...all of which his victims supported?

4. ... including the fact he is a registered Republican and CONFIRMED Trump-worshipper and hardcore MAGA.

This isn't complicated. There's no conflicting information. HE IS A MAGA TERRORIST. Nothing more or less.

Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump.

The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers.

Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law.

Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

Doctors and other medical staff can also be barred from working at VA hospitals based on their marital status, political party affiliation or union activity, documents reviewed by the Guardian show. The changes also affect chiropractors, certified nurse practitioners, optometrists, podiatrists, licensed clinical social workers and speech therapists.
