How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Look at all this bad economic news from past week. Yet corporate media is intentionally ignoring this. Consumer confidence is down among even Republicans since January. Trump is on way to causing the US a recession.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

Every powerful person in America is terrified of Elon Musk because they know he's a dangerous sociopath who's running the U.S. government without any oversight. Americans should assume that Jeff Bezos saw this ad as a direct threat to his business interests, as it would provoke vengeance from Musk.

Five days ago Proof of Destruction was published, and it noted that Elon Musk has positioned himself within the government in a way to try to avoid any liability for his actions. Meanwhile, every major media outlet described the actions of his agents as his, flattening the issue. But PoD was right:

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

As you watch the felony charges being dropped against people like Eric Adams who have allegedly committed serious crimes, (which constitute national security issues), just realize this: It's just a matter of time before the opposite begins happening; innocent people being charged..and prosecuted.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.
