In Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping can plainly see a version of themselves. He is doing their work for them. He is damaging American democracy, diminishing American power, and destroying American alliances with an energy and an efficiency that must exceed their wildest dreams.

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt itself, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into a global pariah - putting backdoors into the Treasury - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit - setting up camps If Russia were "attacking the US" how would it look any different?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Judges aren't kidding around. Federal judge not only just blocked Trump administration's attempt to cut NIH's funding of indirect costs (emergency motion for TRO was earlier today). The judge has also imposed a reporting requirement to ensure compliance.⬇️ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

34,000 Cybertrucks - 5 fire fatalities -> fatality rate of 14.5/100,000 units. That’s 17x that of the Ford Pintos, whose famously flawed gas tank design led to 27 reported fire fatalities in its 9 years on the road, w/ a fatality rate of 0.85/100,000 units www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’m a proud Texas Tech Red Rider and so I’m obligated to love Mahomes. I hate his wife and brother and frankly his answer sucked compared to Jalen‘s about playing in front of Trump. Why did Trump have to ruin my ability to root for the best player to ever come out of TTU 😡
