A very very lucrative trade would be to buy a lot of Tesla stock right before some announcement of a rapprochement. If, yk, you happened to have advance knowledge of one.

Donald Trump, the convicted 34-count felon, a convicted sexual abuser, a well-documented pathological liar, a lifelong racist, & the instigator of an insurrection, has cut funding and gutted the staff at NOAA, which forecasts the weather, rain & snowstorms, hurricanes, & tornadoes. Pilots beware.

It has become clear that the narrative that Elon Musk is some kind of genius is false. The truth is, Elon Musk is an idiot who has taken credit for whatever success Tesla achieved, which was started by Martin Eberhard & Marc Tarpenning. Musk was an investor. Starlink's success is despite Musk.

Brooks D. Tucker Project 2025 Department of Veterans Affairs, the author of that portion of the plan, isn't a doctor or medical clinician; he wants to help privatize the VA healthcare system. In chapter 20, he failed to mention that in 2010, the VA created a public-private Blue Button Initiative.

Veterans should read Project 2025, chapter 20 & how it plans to end VA healthcare in favor of privatization. Project 2025 calls for a 50% reduction in federal employees within a year, and a 75% reduction within 4 years. Veterans make up about 30% of the federal government workforce, or 300,000

The Project 2025 plan for the VA is to narrowly approve which veterans qualify for VA care: Veterans with lower disability ratings. Gulf War & post 9/11 veterans with chronic illnesses. Those not considered combat wounded under a narrow definition. Cutting access under the guise of efficiency.

To all those who don't know why we, the people of the United States, formed a more perfect union, I suggest reading the Constitution's preamble. It answers all your questions about why our government exists and what the responsibility of our government is here to provide for its citizens.

The Court just ruled Trump’s global tariffs were “ultra vires” and “contrary to law.” Translation? He made it all up. No authority. Just vibes and ego. This is what happens when you let a wannabe authoritarian play president.

Jessica Tarlov: “He does these interviews and says I don't know, or I'm not sure. He was asked ‘do you need to uphold the constitution? I don't know, ask a lawyer’ … He may be in front of you, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not spewing utter BS.”

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!

Bruce’s take on Jimmy Cliff’s "Trapped" (shown here live at Hyde Park in 2009) remains one of his most iconic covers. Its official release on the "We Are the World" LP in 1985 brought it to a wider audience — topping the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for 3 weeks that spring, 40 years ago this month.

Doug Collins the unqualified Secretary of Veterans Affairs has argued that the VA has grown too bloated & must be streamlined. Think about how stupid that argument is, first the VA has never been fully staffed, secondly the VA has to keep up with the number of veterans it serves & treatments needs.
