‘30 REO Flying Cloud. #ClasscCars

Occurring in the midst of understaffed hospitals and practices. trump’s ill-conceived policies exacerbate the problems caused by Big Insurco’s vice-like grip on all aspects of healthcare. #Healthcare www.npr.org/sections/sho...

“He may not have a choice if the Senate's Russia hawks get their way and succeed in passing a bipartisan bill that includes a 500% tariff on buyers of Russian exports, including oil.” If House passes, there likely won't be the votes to override a veto. #Russia #Putin www.nbcnews.com/world/russia...

“Mike Flood, a Republican congressman…’I am not going to hide the truth. This provision was unknown to me when I voted for that bill’” The bill is 132pp, not overwhelming, and no doubt was outlined for him. What does he do for his pay? #HR25 #TaxBill www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump says it’s “nasty” because he interprets TACO as the vulgar term for a vulva. Wall Street knows how to rattle his cage. He’s so utterly transparent. #TACO #Tariffs www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

This rather than increasing shipments of weaponry to Ukraine. trump isn't just playing out of his league, he can't even find the ballpark. #Russia #Putin #Ukraine www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Better start buying PGMs - Platinum Group Metals: platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. When this gold flow gets within mining distance in a few tens of millions of years, gold will plummet in value. #Geology #Science www.sciencealert.com/earths-core-...

Does anyone here believe he’ll reinforce Ukraine militarily in a meaningful way? I suspect Putin is dangling significant potential profits for the trump cos and the Miscreant won't risk cashing in. Look for a bullshit economic sanction instead. #Ukraine www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Miscreant believes bribery is an entitlement. #Virginia abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

mmmm…Your monarch coming around to check on things hardly seems to underscore your sovereignty. ;—) #Canada #ElbowsUp apnews.com/article/king...
