It's disturbing to think the Pres of the US thinks I'm evil, sick of mind, and a traitor. What I am is Blue, through and through.

Jesus Christ... the *entire Fulbright Board* at the State Department just resigned rather than cooperate for a second longer with this monster and his patently illegal schemes.

So now Puerto Rico wants to rejoin Spain. There's substantial support there for this. Trump's neglect and contempt for the 3 million people there is probably going to increase support for the movement. We should be ashamed of how the US has treated them.

Trump trying on different emphases for his core belief: "There HAS to be a man in charge," "There has to be a MAN in charge," "There has to be a man in CHARGE".

"Trump’s team might ignore lower court rulings," said Seth Taylor, a 2024 DNC delegate. "That’s not governance – that’s constitutional brinksmanship." www.foxnews.com/politics/tru... I wish I could turn a phrase like that. That's written art.

Maybe the mission of DOGE is to find where money is being wasted so billionaires can exploit and plunder it.

Remember when Israel weaponized Hamas' beepers at the factory level in Europe. Trump is letting Qatar buy him a jet. Even if it's a Boeing, can it be secure from infiltration?

Field and urban war have become so vicious and effective at killing men that those wars are soundly condemned. So that leaves just men's war with women.

Israel, our ally, is at war with Gaza. Gazans still hold hostages and still fire munitions at Israel. Israel will not stop without return of the hostages and a full, unconditional surrender, just as the U.S. demanded of Germany and Japan. Urban war. Not genocide.

Mixed feelings that the final decade or so of my life the nightly news will be covering the trials of MAGAs for treason, extortion, bribery, harassment, malfeasance, as well as civil damages for violations of civil rights, business interference, slander...etc etc

Walmart's online pricing has gone weird. Floor fans, available anywhere for about $70. Walmart shows the price as about $300, but on sale at $50. You save $250!! Lots of items priced like this. What's going on?

Weak minds always think what they think is right. Weak people always think they're doing the right thing. Strong minds are curious and ask questions and leave the door open to new facts.

The Nation: "...consumer debt has reached an all-time high, with the average family owing over $100,000". Divorce lawyers know in many divorces the family has a shocking amount of credit card debt.

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

From Erin Gloria Ryan:"...the Trump administration’s recent move to withdraw limits on PFAS allowed in industrial wastewater — and the other myriad rollbacks to clean air and water standards — (is)counterproductive to the natalist cause." Republicans, take with one hand, slap you with the other.
