DHS spox confirmed the CISA layoffs without saying how many: ““RIFs will be occurring at CISA. During the last administration CISA was focused on censorship, branding and electioneering. This is part of getting CISA back on mission.” CISA laid off the disinformation-election workers last Feb.

New high of Americans saying immigration is good for the US

Just give Alexandra Petrie a Pulitzer already. "Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children, but under the inexpert guidance of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., other states may follow."

Today’s lunch view doesn’t suck #LastDayOfVacation

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie
