The Washington Post · Amid anti-DEI push, National Park Service rewrites history of Underground Railroad
Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.
The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”
Is he going to use #wartime powers against #union members now?

Some #Republicans have accused #VOA & other publicly-funded #media outlets of being biased against *conservatives* [liars, criminals & extremists]. Last month, billionaire #ElonMusk, who is spearheading #Trump's government *downsizing* [destruction] effort, called for VOA & #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty to be shut down in a post to social media.

The president of the #NationalPressClub in Washington, Mike Balsamo, released a statement on social media objecting to the moves at #VOA.
"For decades, #VoiceOfAmerica has delivered fact-based, independent #journalism to audiences worldwide, often in places where press freedom does not exist," Balsamo said.
The decision, he said, "undermines America's commitment to a free & independent press."

Multiple workers at #VoiceOfAmerica, an international #media broadcaster that operates in >40 languages, shared w/Reuters an email that placed them on administrative leave w/full pay & benefits "until otherwise notified."

The extraordinary scene in Washington — in which #Trump & #JDVance lambasted President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine — was broadcast as the top story on state television [#RT] in #Russia on Saturday morning. It played into 3 years of Kremlin #propaganda casting Zelensky as a foolhardy ruler who would sooner or later exhaust the patience of his Western backers.

During his interview on FauxNews, #Ukraine President #Zelensky said he didn’t know whether the confrontation w/ #Trump & #JDVance was a planned ambush, as some have suggested. “It was just a really tough situation,” he said.
Zelensky said it was “not good for both sides.” (A leader who can admit personal errors,what?)

So, #Ukraine President #Zelensky just appeared on #FauxNews after #Trump & #JDVance full-on attacked him in the Oval Office earlier today.
He started his interview w/ (formerly somewhat reasonable) #BretBaier by AGAIN thanking the American people for supporting Ukraine in its war w/ #Russia. “You helped us to survive,” he says.
