Trump has reduced the U.S. economic, scientific, political, and cultural status in the world substantially. That is clear to all those who do not choose to be kept ignorant by Fox “News,” NewsMax, etc. And because MAGAs ignorantly elected Trump, they share the blame for growing contempt for the U.S.

H.H.S., under RFK Jr intends to revise its web pages to include statements like ‘The decision to vaccinate is a personal one’ Tell a highly contagious virus that it should confine itself to an individual as a matter of “personal rights.” I’m sure it could be convinced as easily as the MAGA fools.

I am almost finished a remarkable history of Homo sapiens' impact on the Earth's surface and atmosphere, from ancient times to the current industrial assault, especially the war against having a livable climate. I strongly recommend "The Burning Earth" by Yale historian Sunil Amrith.

AAPL has made many good strategic investments over the years. It look like its investment in Trump’s coronation ceremony paid off with the smartphone exemption from Trump’s stupid tariffs…for now.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on one stock. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought 17 stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value. How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

MAGAs are largely getting their perspective on the current market turmoil and the likely bad effects of Trump’s tariffs filtered thru right wing media. How will they react when they find out that the Easter Bunny isn’t real?

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Long article today in The New Yorker about the Kennedy Center under Tr*mp. I really hope that boycotts by donors, regular attendees, and musical artists force it to shut its doors and turn off the lights. Only massive refusal will end this Nazi regime.

Business that cave in to Trump are helping ruin the economy. Law firms that fail to resist Trump are destroying the rule of law. Institutions that obey Trump are complicit in degrading our society. Any person or organization not refusing to participate in Trump/GOP crimes is criminal.

Robert Califf, cardiologist and former head of the FDA wrote: “FDA as we’ve known it is finished” (because of Trump) But the MAGA moron Trump supporters are too dim witted to understand how it may hurt them. They won’t even “get it” when it does hurt them. Intentional stupidity has consequences.
