It sounds - from here in the UK - as if a lot of Democratic members of Congress, as well as Republicans, have a lot to answer for in the current US political omnishambles.

Every SpaceX Starship explosion – like the one yesterday – is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames. This is no-longer Elon Musk playing with his billionaire toys in the sand-box, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon. Great investment! www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Trump has gutted FEMA grants to build storm-resistant infrastructure in flood and hurricane-prone communities. Two-thirds of counties that have lost funding voted for him in 2024. Trump is even telling his own voters they're on their own. https://www.cbsnews.com/femagrantcuts/

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

The fact that Trump has to be 'handled' - like a spoiled brat, rather than a state president - is a damning indictment of the man himself. He is not fit for office.

What point is the Conservative Party making with this? If a man of almost eighty dropped his papers in front of me I would be the first to help pick them up as I hope most would. So if the point the opposition is making is to praise politeness on the world stage it’s a point well made👏

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country. It's also opposed by a majority of Americans. Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.
