No DMS If I don't follow you. Retired substance abuse clinician. I helped develop 2 drug courts in R.I, one for adults and one for juveniles. The sooner we can find someone in trouble with any drug, It is easier to get them back on track.

Zou, who has been exporting to the United States for more than a decade, was incredulous. “There’s not a thread of feasibility,” said Zou, who does business in the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo. “It looks like I would have no choice but give up trading with the U.S.” apnews.com/article/unit...

trump stayed for several hours before flying back to his home in Palm Beach, said it was a “great honor” to receive that recognition from the crowd. He deserved a break from giving stock tips to everyone he likes and worship him. apnews.com/article/trum...

The President has vowed not to cut Social Security benefits. Instead, the White House argues its plan is to increase benefits by eliminating income taxes on cash benefits, a boost to retirees checks Increase benefits FOR 72 million 72,000,000 multiplied by 100 dollars equals 7,200,000,000 dollars

A White House official tells Axios the Department of Homeland Security identified more than 6,300 of these folks who, they say, are on the FBI terrorist watch list, or with FBI criminal records. I doubt that. www.axios.com/2025/04/13/s...

When the Supreme Court last year wrestled with whether to grant then-former President Donald Trump broad immunity from prosecution, conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch stressed the ruling did not just apply to Trump but was “for the ages.”

www.nbcnews.com/business/mar... The Republican congresswoman, an avid supporter of the Trump administration’s trade policies, not only bought stocks last week as others dumped them in a panic — she scooped up some of the biggest losers.

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... “What we’re seeing now is a structural shift, driven by policy, that’s likely to be long-lasting,” Felix Stellmaszek, Boston Consulting Group’s global lead of automotive and mobility, told CNBC.

Nothing has changed….

www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm... The President of El Salvador is meeting trump this week. Put Mr. Garcia on the fucking plane. Is that too hard to figure out. I am surprised that some in that administration are not on feeding tubes and ventilators because they do not know how to chew or breath.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, Khanna, and Frost rising to the occasion.

oopsie China is playing the long game and if they agree to no Tariffs, we will be shit out of luck. You know that trump doesn't know what a trade deficit is. If 350 million+ people in US buy more shit than the shit that country buys, that's the deficit. The island below has no shit to buy or sell.

Isn't that Elon's Job.

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

The Democrats who seek to play ball with the would be dictator in the White House and his team are disqualified as leaders of the party. Now and always. Period. Those who are candidates again must be challenged and defeated. For the country’s sake. There can be no compromises with tyranny.

If ANYONE can be picked off the street and sent away without due process, EVERYONE can be picked off the street and sent away without due process… youtube.com/shorts/0_U6h...

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

It's inevitable to fall in love with a sunset that is at the end of a successful day ! The lingering taste of success with a promise of a relaxing night always brings a smile of satisfaction.

www.politico.com/news/2025/04... Donald Trump’s DEI-slashing, money-cutting education agenda is an unpopular stance. I wonder why the WH thought using young students who are about to lose key programs was a good idea. Trump’s moves to cull the agency’s staff and billions of dollars in spending.

Republicans are arguing that the increase is the result of “activist liberal judges.” Democrats counter that the courts are simply striking down illegal executive orders apnews.com/article/gop-...
