The plan does not "sharply favor." The plan rewards territorial aggression. This is against US foreign policy of the prior 100 years.

Trump is really trying to make the rest of America just like Florida. Woke is completely outlawed. To complete the job, all the great universities will be destroyed. We will have nothing but third rate places, just like Florida.

I think it is the great good fortune of humanity that, In the Nuremberg trials after World War II, the Nazis did not have their algorithms with which to defend their atrocities.

People said that since things weren't so horrible in Trump T1, that Trump T2 would not be so bad. By the same logic, 5 year old who did not start a fire when he last played with matches should be allowed to play with them again at length and with no supervision. Is that smoke?

Donald Trump has created the economic equivalent of Prohibition. It could soon result in an even bigger disaster. The big difference is that the 18th Amendment was passed by 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the State legislatures. Trump made this mistake all by himself.

According to Nature, it was one of the darkest days. But it could not crack the front page of the New York Times, which chose to reserve space for toilet paper in federal offices. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

People people voted for Dwight Eisenhower because he was a hero of the war. People voted for Ronald Reagan because they liked his ideas. People voted for George W. Bush because he was the kind of guy they liked. People voted for Donald Trump because he’s famous and rich.

There is quite a lot of confusion expressed in this essay. Multiple contradictory statements. I think that a large part of the growth of anti-Vax movement is due to the terrible job I see young MDs doing in regard to consenting patients to treatment, whether it be vaccines or cancer chemotherapy.

The Signal-Gate group chat was basically a bunch of amateur intelligence people chest thumping about a successful operation carried out by actual professionals. It had no real purpose other than chest thumping. Shut up until the job is done, idiots.

We are only days away from the announcement of Trump Radio to replace the Voice of America

Oh, governor, the kick in the nuts works pretty well too.

Lies are the house specialty. The bigger the better. Dumb press people let him walk off.

The Trump/Musk administration is destroying government funded research and mainstream media are MUTE on this horrific reign of terror. No one in research knows what is going to happen. One by one research grants are being killed. Big question is why they are destroying such a treasure.

Gee, they had no objection to Matthew Kacsmaryk overriding the FDA and decades of post approval experience with mifepristone to issue a national injunction.

Obama had bigger majorities at the beginning of his first term and he passed healthcare for millions. Trump uses slim majorities to make himself a king like figure. I always thought the Republicans were the bad guys at heart and now they’re proving it.

Tesla recalls entire fleet of Cybertrucks upon discovering design flaw that causes it to attract only smug douches www.newsweek.com/tesla-recall...

There have been several additional occasions in Mr. Trump's career when his ideas have been different than those around him. Some of those resulted in bankruptcy.

Another bunch of lies from a one of the more dangerous and unqualified members of the Trump Administration. Tragically, he is far from the only dangerous and unqualified person given power by Trump.

Unfortunately, there were more firefighters onstage at the Academy Awards than I or my neighbors saw on January 7.

Justice Roberts wet dream....

Our President stands up and spouts a stream of lies and Mr Baker calls it “rewriting history.” We are not living in Nazi times but in Stalinist times with ideological purges and rewritten histories. We must stop it! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

No, he assumed the position.

No surprises here...Sen. Cassidy got played apnews.com/article/chil...

Two weeks ago, right of entry forms were requested from homeowners in LA to allow the Army Corps to clear what the fires destroyed. 13,579 are estimated eligible but only 433 applications have been approved. At this rate, it will take a year for just the paperwork. Unacceptable.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Chuck is not the right leader for these times. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

A little drastic to call DeepSeek a "Sputnik moment" for the US. More like a Pixar switching from overpriced Silicon Graphics hardware to other Unix workstations for Monsters, Inc.

Yes, Pete Hegseth has abused many of the women he has interacted with. But he hasn’t abused all of them.
