This hero, Chappie James, died two days before I was born. He was a Republican and widely considered to be a potential VP to Reagan. He was black, and one of the first things Hegseth did was remove his picture.

NEW: This week courts: blocked usage of a flawed DHS database to purge voters, cancelled parts of one Trump anti-voting exec order, stopped implementation of his other one on mail voting, and rejected DOJ access to several states' voter rolls.
It was a bad week for Trump, but good for democracy.

This week at Democracy Docket: Judges are rejecting Trump’s anti-voting crusade
President Donald Trump’s anti-voting agenda had already hit some major legal roadblocks over the last year. But this may have been its worst week yet in the courts.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass.
That’s the problem.

Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union:
NPR reports that the DOJ has “withheld” documents that include allegations that Donald “sexually abused a minor.”

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
