Buyer remorse is beginning. People think Trump is overstepping his authority (they especially don’t like or trust Elon Musk), and that he is not focus enough on things that people elected him to, like lowering prices. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Our “big beautiful ocean” does not protect us from Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine strikes. It also does not protect us from our own traitorous President.

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

That maybe there weren’t any qualified white dancers never occurred to this complainer. Which is hilarious because the qualifications of most white folks when it comes to hip hop dancing is something I question at every wedding I attend. 😜😂

Progressives preach about about overcoming our own unconscious biases, yet ignore that our attitude towards non-progressives is perhaps our biggest blind spot in that regard.

This from Law and Order (not the TV show 😉😂). Apparently, pardoning criminals who kiss his ring is now a bipartisan thing for Trump. Next up: Bob Menendez? 🙄😡 #crimepays

As Elon Musk shutters the CFPB, he, Zuckerberg, Trump, set up a personal crypto market to undermine the “woke” banks. You know, the banks that are insured & subject to consumer protection rules. I doubt even most MAGA voters support literal gambling with the savings of regular folks like them.

Republicans have legislative power to enact “efficiencies” & cuts to govt agencies. But they don’t because they know it’s unpopular to cut regular folks’ programs to pay for tax cuts for rich folks. So they hand all power to Trump, who hands it all to Musk. Then they complain when the courts say no.

The recent attacks on Lutherans & Catholics proves that just being Christian is not enough for right wing Christian Nationalists. To them, you have to be the right kind of Christian. History shows that the devout always think that theocracy is a good idea until it’s not your church that’s in charge.

Anyone out there ever work in Treasury Payments? I'm curious if this is actually the case: The Secure Payment System (SPS) employs a strict separation of duties as a core security measure. The point of the ? Is to know how many people are required to approve a payment and where are they located

Heather Cox Richardson is correct. And they are not doing that because they know their true policies are unpopular. It’s easier to allow Elon Musk to illegally seize government information and functions. Then folks can’t blame Congress for gutting itself, and the constitution.

We have a million rules/procedures for something simple like "kid breaks arm-put a cast on it." Ends up being a million hours of labor to analyze/scrutinize & bill radiologists & hospitals & physicians & the people whose job it is to deny those medical claims & their boss too- for a kid's broken arm

Trump got Mexico to send the same 10,000 troops to the border that Biden already got them to commit. Trump got Canada to agree to the same measures to fight fentanyl that Biden already got them to agree to six weeks ago. Wow. What a dealmaker!

Wait so a president can just make up a department and pick an unelected head and then let him seize control of the government? Is this really what we’re dealing with here?
