Bush jacked up the deficit and then Clinton got it under control and then Bush II jacked up the deficit and then Obama got it under control and then Trump I jacked up the deficit and then Biden got it under control and now Trump II is about to jack up the deficit ... ... and throughout all this ...

When it comes to 47’s #immigration crackdown, the media and the left need to change the narrative to cost? How much is this costing the taxpayer? What is being lost esp with respect to productivity and to employers? How much are we spending per detainee. I think that many people things it’s […]

Wome should rule the world! Period.

God god. How many time is my neighbor going to mow his grass. This is like the third time this week. I wouldn't be surprised if some morning, like at 3am, I look out the window because I hear something and see him measuring his grass because he can't sleep thinking it has grown too talk. He's […]

Trump has declared that he will add a 50% tariff on Europe on June 1st. The US heavily relies on an export economy and Europe is its biggest customer. This new move is part of an ongoing pattern of market manipulation and stock pump & dump by the Trump regime and its collaborators.

About a block away, but in my direct line of sight from the sofa on which I live my life, stands a massive conifer, easily 75 feet high. At its very tip-top, a large visiting bird has been sitting, preening, diving, & taunting me for a week. I’ve consulted Merlin, Audubon, a printed field guide […]

[USpol] "The F.D.A. May Restrict Covid Shots. Who Will Be Able to Get Them?" It's hard to decide who is the most disastrous Trump cabinet member. Noem, Hegseth, Bondi, McMahon, Gabbard, Zeldin and RFK Jr are all seemingly competing to see who can cause the most harm to the United States. There […]

Because they want to kill us, Congress voted to overturn a Clean Air Act regulation limiting toxic emissions from industrial facilities like refineries, chemical plants, and steel mills. This marks the first Congressional rollback of the landmark environmental law's protections since its […]

I spoke to @npr.org about USDA’s illegal demand for sensitive data about millions of food stamp recipients. It’s the kind of request you make if you’re trying to feed a massive surveillance program, not if you’re trying to feed hungry kids. Every state should sue, and refuse to comply. 👇👇

#SCOTUS US Supreme Court has FIVE Justices recuse from a case, rendering it unable to rule and so lower court ruling stands as final. The recusal reason (inferred, they didn't actually say why) is because they ALL HAVE BOOK DEALS WITH THE PUBLISHER in the case. So the loser of the case doesn't […]

CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY! 202-224-3121 #StopTrumpNow #StopTheBudgetBill

Most of the focus on the House passing the budget bill is on the numbers. (It is a budget bill.) But this, as the screenshot says, should it survive the Senate, completes the transition of the US to a dictatorship. We were warned. We didn't pay enough attention. #politics

I’m not a psychologist. But Trump’s malignant narcissism seems plain. I’m not a lawyer. But the collapse of checks and balances and the resultant constitutional crisis seems plain. I’m not an economist. But the hollowing out of the public sector for the benefit of corporations and […]
