MAGA people are gloming over a mythical big $5,000 check from DOGE that won't cover inflation, healthcare, or unemployment for your unemployed kid. This is a ploy to get Americans to spend $5,000 before they get it. That boosts the economy. Actually giving $5,000 to taxpayers would cause inflation.

Arbitrary rules. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Jeez. US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources. Trump’s government are behaving like mobsters www.reuters.com/business/us-...

He nails it.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Just reached that place in Severance that was like the middle of season three on LOST. I just don't care anymore. Maybe it was the goats.

When we let it go long enough, and stand awestruck but silent, it'll be too late.

I'm employing Trump style politics here as my own protest. The Target Board chose to follow number 47. The crime is done, the crime is baked, I'm not going back. BuyLocal. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/b...

A president who has power to authorize spending, or not, n any federally funded project has the power to shut off the power, and water, public streets., airports, Marine corps, universities, hospitals, maybe just a few individual Bridges that he doesn't like...

It is truly wild watching the same people who complained incessantly 2 years ago that “nobody wanted to work,” applauding the firing of tens of thousands of newly hired working people…

A government doing its best to protect its citizens. The end of an era.

I'm not an AI basher, but I think the hype is ahead of its time. www.itpro.com/technology/a...

I wish Amazon would mark the made in America products. It makes it a lot harder to find good Canadian maple syrup.

Why is the house worrying about a budget if the president controls the spending?

I hope America is as lucky as the upside down Delta jet. Everyone survives, but the right wing explodes.

This is so weird. He just called Zelenskyy an unelected dictator. Now he's proclaiming himself to be an unelected dictator. Yes, Kings and dictators are separate things, but not here.

Project25 people knew the Rule of Law and Trump was their strength. They glomed onto the weakness of a self-enforcing Constitution and paired the most compliant Presidential nominee with a justice system that takes 5 years to adjudicate crime. And meanwhile, the nation still follows the rules.

I'm quitting Microsoft and Google's PC browsers as part of my economic fight against this administration. Money is the answer. 68% of the US GDP comes from consumer spending. Any recommendations? AI suggests brave or duckduckgo. I'm not a Firefox fan.

[email protected] I get it. But you guys need to stop focusing on all the individual issues everyday, it distracts from the real purpose: Put out the fire. It won't be long before he cuts Congress members spending, your salaries, and your jobs. The issues aren't the problem anymore.
