A red state sparked backlash after announcing that it will offer an alternative version of advanced history classes meant to combat the "woke." Historian Kevin Kruse warned on Bluesky that Sunshine State students could have "to suffer through the Florida Man version" of Advanced Placement U.S. History, and called out a curriculum that frames Florida as always having been Christian, anti-slavery and on the right side of history. Commentators like Kruse pointed out that the curriculum will describe slavery as a "necessary evil," frame Plessy v Ferguson as a result of "the failure of Reconstruction" after the Civil War, and credit federal law that counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for "decreased slave power representation."
President Donald Trump, who insists he feels like he did 50 years ago, has been caught in a public bout of daytime drowsiness. The 79-year-old president appeared to slip into a heavy-eyed daze during an Oval Office proclamation signing on Tuesday to restore the Presidential Fitness Test in schools. The president's latest public sleeping fit comes less than two weeks after California Governor Gavin Newsom accused him of being "asleep at the wheel" for appearing to nod off during a healthcare affordability event at the Oval Office. Newsom, 58, has taken to calling Trump "Dozy Don," a play on the nickname Trump gave his predecessor Joe Biden""Sleepy Joe""to mock the then-president's apparent decline.

Writing for The Hill on Tuesday, Racicot ripped into Congress for being asleep at the wheel as Trump and his Defense Department committed acts that amounted to "war crimes," including the launch of "without provocation, 55 military air strikes on vessels navigating the high seas, killing at least 174 civilians with four survivors and 11 missing and presumed dead." Those strikes, he wrote, have so far seen "no legitimate congressional oversight," and things only got worse when Trump opted to start a war with Iran. "Fast forward to the invasion of and use of armed force against Iran. The same pattern is replicated," Racicot wrote. "There was no cognizable provocation or imminent threat to the U.S. No genuine oversight provided by Congress. No justification for the use of lethal force in self-defense. All amid the potential prosecution of rank-and-file service members for carrying out the orders of a commander in chief who has never been a member of the armed forces himself." read more

Over a year ago Trump told Zelensky he didn't have any cards & couldn't last much longer against Putin.
This year Trump told us he has all the cards against Iran so they were going to unconditionally surrender in 4-6 weeks.
But Zelensky is still fighting.
And Trump is folding.
