Throwback Thursday… Remember that time Biden cornered the entire Republican Party into denying they’d cut Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid for a $1T tax break for billionaires? That was only a year ago. Now, the biggest earned benefits cut in history is in their budget.

It's funny how that was overlooked, isn't it? The felon wanted to make it look as though Mexico was the only one to make concessions in the deal.

This is vital. As Michael Lewis wrote in The Fifth Risk, about the 1st Trump transition, the greatest fear government scientists and professional staff had was that data would be degraded, destroyed, or simply disappear.

The New York Times headline doesn't mention that Trump's new tariffs are about to raise consumer prices drastically. The WaPo doesn't even put its pitiful tariff story top of page. America's news media is failing the nation. #EconSky

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.  We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.
