Hmmm. Foreshadowing the future in the US? "[The Democratic Party's] leaders have been arrested and imprisoned on national security charges. Its members are effectively barred from running for local office and routinely face harassment and threats." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/w...

Is it "saving" money by eliminating services/programs established by Congress to help Americans? Like the Consumer Protection Agency that saved us money by ridding us of bank & airplane junk fees? And their uninformed rash actions have actually increased inefficiency. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

We don't have enough problems with congestion in the airspace. I can't imagine what it'll be like when every store has little drones zipping all over. I can see them hitting each other and crashing down on people and filling the air with their annoying sounds all day. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/d...

Elon Musk now admits his Department of Government Efficiency will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

This is a direct result of Trump's make America racist & antisemitic again tour which started in 2015. (His current crusade against antisemitism is a sham, A cover used to persecute intellectuals & Muslims.)

So far, Trump has canceled investigations & prosecutions of people who donated large sums to his campaign or who came to him & groveled. Zuck has done both, so we will see if he gets the expected return on his investment. Trump will likely squeeze him for more money or praise before he lets him off.

I agree the mainstream media is failing us. They repeat administration claims without questioning & without pointing it out when the facts show that what they are saying is false. "There's also a way of taking the administration known for its lying and unreliability and stupidity at face value... "

China must've read "The Art of the Deal" & used Trump's "just say what they want to hear & then do what you want" strategy against Trump. How sad. "In 2019, China agreed to buy more U.S. goods as part of a deal to lift tariffs — although Trump later complained that Beijing never followed through."

“She said, ‘I think this is going to be the last time I get to visit you,’” Öztürk’s friend recalled. “I told her, ‘No, no, you’re going to be able to come again, don’t worry, and I’m going to come visit you.’ That all turned out to be wrong.” By @hannahallam.bsky.social @propublica.org

The weak Trump bully & his subservient billionaire buddies think watching UFC makes the look tough. "a spectacle of violence, throbbing music and cheering crowds.. ... emblematic of a president who is increasingly emboldened, brazen and encouraging of displays of force to carry out his agenda..."

Antisemitism has been on the rise since Trump came on the scene and popularized being nasty, racist, and extremist again. He is only using the pretext of fighting antisemitism to attack universities because he is anti intellectual.

Too many members of Congress keep letting us down. This is about more than opposing Trump’s bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and using every inch of power to fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

Remember when he was asked at his confirmation hearing about his published enemies list and he denied having it or intending to get rid of people based on it. Democrats should call a hearing to demand he explain why he lied.

Amazing that the government isn’t even collecting Trump’s tariffs, which means Americans are paying higher prices and the country isn’t even getting the tax revenue. Even for them, it’s unbelievable incompetence.
