Crow, dressed in jeans, boots and an open-necked shirt, urged them to campaign next year as if they were running for mayor:
Be local, be authentic, don’t listen too much to campaign consultants, he argued,
and be ready to separate f…

DOGE was never about efficiency.
It was the shotgun marriage of Project 2025 and

Three stories illustrate how DOGE damaged our veterans most of all.
First, the early warning signs:

@other98 on Instagram: Trump’s Veterans Day meeting with Ahmed al-Sharaa in the Oval Office has sparked fury, especially among vets and their families. Al-Sharaa is widely recognized as a former senior figure in al-Qaeda with a history stained by real atrocities. Under his leadership, al-Nusra Front and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham carried out suicide bombings, sectarian massacres, and ethnic cleansing campaigns targeting Syria’s Christian, Alawite, Shia, and Druze minorities.
