MAGA world hates Diversity, Equity And Inclusion policies – except when Donald Trump has them. Ditto for Trump, himself. Thanks to MeidasTouch, we now know that Trump Media is officially "committed" to diversity, equity and inclusion:
"The Board is committed to creating and maintaining a culture of diversity and inclusion. The Company will be better able to grow and improve with a diverse Board, management, and team of employees.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy did not have prior experience in his job. Still, he was appointed by former President Donald Trump anyway, maybe because he was a major Republican Party donor and Trump fundraiser. But he can't do the job. Again, DeJoy was the first postmaster general in two decades without prior USPS experience, and it shows!
Georgia Democratic Sen.
Yesterday we posted about the deaths of two Kansas women at the hands of some right-wing nutjobs who call themselves "God's Misfits." Well, it turns out one of them is the chair for the Cimarron County GOP in Oklahoma.

MacCallum: Do you think that this threat of 30 days in jail will change the social media actions of the former president in any way?
During a hearing on President Biden’s 2025 request for the Department of Justice, Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) seemed more interested in MAGA gotchas rather than the less clickbaity but more substantive work of delving into the appropriation request.
Unfortunately for Cline, Attorney General Merrick Garland failed to give him the made-for-Fox-News soundbite that was Cline's likely objective.
First, Cline played the conservative victim card: He claimed there’s “a crisis of confidence” in the Department of Justice “created by the dual treatment of American citizens depending on their viewpoints or their political positions or their political offices.” He was trying to suggest that Donald Trump is being unfairly prosecuted for stealing classified documents and refusing to return them when Biden's completely different behavior was not.
