Yep, 4 repugs that have supported Trump in every way until they had nothing to lose. Funny how they only ever speak out when they don't plan on running again.

A Democratic congresswoman bizarrely pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the fit of shoes gifted to him by President Trump during a hearing that went haywire before the Foreign Affairs committee.
California Rep. Sara Jacobs led the charge Wednesday against what she called Rubio’s inability to “admit facts” on the Iran war – and mentioned a pair of dress shoes Trump gave him that were apparently “too big” as evidence.
“Mr. Secretary, it seems like you have an issue admitting facts… You couldn’t admit the shoes the president bought you were too big,” Jacobs said.
Rubio had no idea what she was even referring to.

“I don’t know about the shoes, I mean, [Trump] gave me some Florsheim shoes that are actually pretty good, they fit fine, I don’t know what she’s talking about,” the perplexed secretary said.
Earlier this year, Trump reportedly gifted Rubio and Vice President JD Vance pairs of black dress shoes, but photos showed that they appeared to be a size too big for the men.
Jacobs schmoozed up to Rubio in an attempt to save her odd, meandering argument.
“Your shoes look very nice today, Mr. Secretary,” she said.
Rubio then handily schooled the wayward Democrats.
“How can you see them? They’re way down here. We’re talking about shoes. Are you guys kidding me? I mean, is this the Foreign Affairs committee or is this, like, a circus? What is this?” he said.
Rubio later guffawed at an “absurd and ridiculous” line of questioning about Trump’s sleeping habits. He insisted that the president displays remarkable energy and stays awake during long trips abroad.

Education Department abandons civil rights focus on Black students

The Brief
- The Department of Education under President Trump is ending generations of addressing inequities for Black students, in some cases withholding federal funds for programs that aim to help Black students.
- The Trump administration says it’s simply following the law.
- Civil rights advocates, however, say it’s an erasure of legal history.
Programs that aim to help Black students have now been deemed "illegal DEI " — diversity, equity and inclusion — by the White House. Schools have been investigated, and some have lost federal funding.
What they’re saying: In a statement, the Education Department said programs receiving federal funding must follow the law, which prohibits discrimination based on race.

"Serving student needs and following the law are not irreconcilable mandates. Advocates and educators have no reason to stress if they abide by the law," said Amelia Joy, a department spokesperson.
The other side:
Civil rights advocates, however, describe the actions as a complete inversion of legal history.
"It’s literally flipping the purpose of civil rights law on its head, not just harming Black students and students of color, but entire school communities," said Michael Pillera, director of educational equity issues at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "It’s unmoored from the actual history of our country and untethered to the reality of life in this country."
Funds withheld after investigation
Local perspective:The U.S. government has opened investigations or joined litigation over a wide range of efforts to address racial inequality. The Justice Department is investigating programs to increase the number of teachers of color in Rhode Island and Iowa. And grants to districts to train teachers or recruit school mental health workers have been discontinued for mentions of diversity in recruitment.

The Trump administration investigated Chicago Public Schools and withheld more than $20 million when the district refused to end its Black Student Success Program, which aims to increase access to advanced coursework for Black students and reduce overly harsh discipline.
A similar effort to close racial achievement gaps in Los Angeles is under the same pressure.
Los Angeles Unified School District created the Black Student Achievement Plan after an outpouring of student activism following the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. It supports schools with extra teachers, counselors and curriculum in Black history.
LAUSD has seen signs of impact. In recent state testing, Black students in the district outperformed the average Black student in California.
"When you provide teachers and school personnel with knowledge and skills to help your lowest performing students, everyone wins," said Tyrone Howard, an education professor at UCLA who consulted on BSAP.
More districts released from desegregation orders
Dig deeper:Under President Trump, the Justice Department has released more school districts from court-ordered desegregation plans dating back to the Civil Rights Movement, describing them as outdated and burdensome. And the Education Department has stripped funding from some districts that used it to create magnet schools intended to be more diverse.
The Trump administration has repeatedly pointed to a broad interpretation of the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action, which prevented colleges and universities from directly considering race in admissions.
While that ruling pertained only to admissions, the administration last winter notified schools that any differential consideration based on race was unconstitutional. A federal court struck down that guidance last year, but advocates say schools may still preemptively end equity programs to avoid drawing federal scrutiny.
"LAUSD’s desegregation program has outlived its usefulness to the point of being unconstitutional," an assistant U.S. attorney said in a news release.
Other advocates say that’s not true.
Decades of inequity show that’s not true, said attorney Mark Rosenbaum,
"The opponents of desegregation always said, ‘Drop desegregation, and we will put resources into these schools,’" said Mark Rosenbaum, who years ago represented kids of color in L.A.'s desegregation case. "You know, we are still waiting for that to happen."

Are these Black Hebrew Israelites? I rarely find much sense in that what they be saying but this dude was on point.
Bluetooth? Instagram and Twitter both sound like garbage over my headsets. At work that I can't test over my laptop speakers.
"I'm Cherokee." Is this the first time this White Trash Indian has acknowledged his heritage?
And being Cherokee doesn't mean you can't be an anti-Black racist. I was just reading about Ray Robinson, a Black activist who went to aid AIM (American Indian Movement) and was murdered by them and buried.
Not gonna lie if that was a real game, I'd be playing the fuck out of it.
