Oh, HELL NO!! They were tried, convicted, and sentenced. They are GUILTY -- and that's something a pardon can't remove. Absolutely NO reimbursement. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I say we should keep her out of the USA until she comes back with him alive and well. no matter what happens, it'll be a win.

Canadians are now using an app ("Maple Scan") to identify American products and identify Canadian alternatives. This would have been unthinkable before; now that it's here, I bet it won't ever go away. maplescan.ca

First time I've seen someone stand on a square of fake grass to plant a tree.

Why is nobody asking Musk why HE isn't bringing his foreign factories back to the U.S. as his best buddy Trump wants?

www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ... Since Trump was elected, I've said that historians will one day put a pin in the timeline of America and say that this was when the 1776 version of America died.

I hear ya.

How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country? They called it from day one.

It was all fun and games with Trump when they thought he was just going to cut regulations and remove gov't oversight agencies so businesses could run wild. Then, suddenly, when some pain hit THEM his (totally predictable) behavior became unacceptable. www.forbes.com/sites/sergei...

Can't help but notice there are no Trump Tariffs on Russia. I guess now we'll see sales being funneled through there to avoid the tariffs. Great move for the Russian economy, but not so good for us.

Oh.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Tariffs affecting the 787. Note that some parts have multiple suppliers so numbers are representative, not absolute.

thedailytexan.com/2025/03/26/a... Since the pandemic, student reading levels have dropped, showing little sign of recovery. Now, professors must find ways to adapt classes to changing student needs by cutting down on reading assignments and utilizing online resources.

>>There is growing fear of not just a recession but stagflation, a frightful situation — not seen in the United States since the 1970s — in which the economy contracts and people lose jobs but prices remain high.<< www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Seen elsewhere.... I guess if Marco Rubio’s parents had been sent to a prison in El salvador we wouldn’t be having to deal with him as a traitor to the Constitution now.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations #Measles https://www.propublica.org/article/measles-vaccine-rfk-cdc-report

Maybe it's just me, but after Tulsi Gabbard said she didn't know/recall if she was the "TG" in the Signal exchange, I would have asked every single person on the panel with her if *they* if they had a "TG" listed in their Signal group and who they thought it was. Then... (cont'd)

I'm getting really po'd about people saying the Signal Scandal was just a "mistake". It was actually: "Yes, I signed a document saying that I've been trained on handling classified materials and understand my responsibilities, but I just chose to ignore it and do whatever I wanted."

How Democracies Die (cont'd): Special "Buying Votes" Edition

Just curious: If the information contained in the Signal exchange wasn't classified (per the Administration), can similar information be requested for future attacks under FOIA?

Seems like it, doesn't it?

Too good not to share:

Once you accept Trump's premise that members of the military are "suckers" and "losers", the Signal scandal really seems a whole lot less important.

Time for the NIH to investigate what it is about the Trump administration that causes so many people there to have such sweeping memory problems when questioned by Congress.

Tonight's TV news programs should be wall-to-wall coverage of many dozens of Democrats speaking out about the Signal scandal, but.....
