The New Freedom was Woodrow Wilson's campaign platform in the 1912 presidential election, and also refers to the progressive programs enacted by Wilson during his time as president. First expressed in his campaign speeches and promises, Wilson later wrote a 1913 book of the same name. After the 1918 midterm elections, Republicans took control of Congress and were mostly hostile to the New Freedom.

I just discovered Barry Goldwater’s The Conscience of a Conservative recently. It pretty much laid the foundation for the current Republican mentality that paved the way for Trump.

 

Despite mounting public protest, Texas lawmakers are fast-tracking two anti-trans and anti-abortion bills. Both measures are being advanced during a special legislative session convened by Governor Greg Abbott (R), who has made restricting transgender rights and reproductive freedom central to his agenda.

AI slop often slips into your recommendations without you even knowing it until you watch the video and be aware of the tells to know the difference. I've had to scrutinize so many channels and remind the algorithm to not recommend said channel to sway it in the right direction. It's been so demanding sometimes but now I'm getting smaller niche channels that actually have a sole.

 

Amid a push to streamline and accelerate acquisition, the Defense Department is dismantling its decades-old Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process and overhauling how the DoD sets and validates military requirements.
