Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Five former defense secretaries condemned President Trump’s firing last week of senior military leaders as "reckless" and urged Congress not to confirm their successors.

It must be hard to be a federal worker right now. You may lose your job, your demonized, and you have a South African asking you to send him an email accounting what you did the past week. Then you have a President that mocks you. How can anyone defend these two? www.msn.com/en-in/news/w...

One has to ask what is the purpose of this? These are your food inspectors, OSHA investigators. These are the people making sure the inner workings of our government work so we are safe, and protected from wrong doing. Why disrupt that?

Hundreds of millions of dollars. That is how much it will cost the US to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. How much could that have helped with Education? Healthcare? Disasters? MAGA at its best…

Mike Johnson’s decision to have the flag at full mast on Inauguration Day is quite enabling. Trump has got to be the biggest whiner I have ever witnessed in the Presidency. Between that and the withholding of aide to California tells me this is going to be a long pitiful 4 years.

Our politics in the US sickens me. We have become a nation of complainers, finger pointers, and anti-intellectual whiners. We are cheat code loving softees seeking bullet points and slogans to difficult problems. Trump won, because he is the American collective.

And NOW the real lead ship starts…. Instead of expressing concern for California, Trump tries to make politics out of it. Instead of expressing emotion for the death of a former President, Trump cries about the flag being at half mast. And the #TrumpShitshow begins where it left off 4 years ago.

Odd. If Republicans were so concerned about the sanctity of our elections, why was there no concern this year? Did the problems “suddenly” correct itself? I think we know the answer. There was no stolen election in 2020, and a lot of innocent police officers were harmed over this nonsense on #Jan6th

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

@cobrakaiseries.bsky.social In the last season Johnny is complaining to the stewardess on the plane that they aren’t flying in a straight line. The writers obviously knew this, hence the joke!
