It's encouraging when even a MAGA-man-owned MSM-outlet like the L.A. Times names & highlights the Republicans' attack on Social Security (longstanding & now aggressively pursued).

True. But it's a feature not a bug to Trump & Co. It seems unimaginable that they could deliberately be weakening the U.S., making us more vulnerable and enhancing the position of our enemies but that's exactly what they're doing...in many areas, simultaneously. It's no accident.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

Every grievance Trump and Musk have built up over the years is being taken out on the American people.

This is what russian "peace" looks like: just one day after Trump said "Putin wants peace," russian drones struck Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Peace with terrorists is impossible. Peace can never be signed with those who spread violence and destruction.

If I wanted to weaken the United States and make us less capable of combating 21st Century threats, I’d be doing exactly what the Trump White House and DOGE are doing.

If Russia hasn’t been able to occupy more than 19% of Ukraine since 2014, how can it defeat NATO or seize Europe? It’s impossible. Their plans are failing, their army is weakening. It’s time to stop Moscow in Ukraine. Ukraine’s victory is Europe’s security. The time to act is NOW

Pretty wild that a large portion of the media doesn't have this front and center. Steve Bannon throws a seig heil at CPAC and it's gotten very little news. Are the media afraid of the "but these are jokes" type? Media/political types are you really afraid of this guy?

Kluwe called Trumpoid-Muskoid policies " 'explicitly a Nazi movement'....City Council member Gracey Van Der Mark...said that Kluwe’s comments are an insult to Jewish people who support President Trump." Van Der Mark is wrong. Jewish people who support Trump have forgotten what it means to be a Jew.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.
