Thanks Canada 🇨🇦 you guys Rock💙👍💥

US stocks fell Thursday after the world’s largest retailer warned that 2025 would be a rollercoaster ride and said it expected sales to slow this year amid fears that consumers are tapped out.

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena. I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

In remarks to reporters Tuesday and in a social media post on Wednesday, Trump made numerous false claims about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Russian war on Ukraine – some of which echoed inaccurate talking points from Vladimir Putin. Here is a fact check of some of his assertions.

You had it right the first time.

"Republican Senators have in recent days made the case to Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials... trying to finagle exceptions to Trump’s executive orders or cuts made by Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service that freeze hundreds of billions of dollars..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Welcome back, Cathy.

A coalition of congressional Republicans from the New York area rebuked President Trump for cuts to a federal program that administers aid to emergency workers and others suffering from toxins related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Turnabout is fair play.

This hits hard for me. My husband is alive today because of the work of some very persistent scientists -- Dr James P Allison is one of them. The I/O therapy that he helped pioneer saved my husband's life 3 years ago. Without scientific research, the US will die. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Elon Musk is working to transform X, his social media platform, into a virtual wallet where people can send money to each other. Digital payment platforms have come under intense scrutiny by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but that is likely to ease.

This. This! đź’Żđź’Żđź’Żđź’Żđź’Żđź’Żđź’Ż

Never forget bravery

As the Trump administration and Elon Musk seek to cut agencies such as USAID, college students worry the field they long dreamed of joining could dry up.

The average American basically functions at an amoeba level of stimulus-response. Unfortunately the Musk/Trump junta will almost certainly be providing stimulus in the form of “immediate day to day pain” shortly.
