Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate": "While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/c...

There are at least 3 ways Trump could claim a third term: 1️⃣ some sort of electoral bait and switch using the Twenty-Second Amendment's terminology of "elected" president. 2️⃣ the next victor cedes the presidency to Trump, as Speaker of the House. 3️⃣ an new Constitutional amendment.

No DOGE savings at all. It's all a complete lie. All they've done is fire qualified workers while not actually cutting spending at all.

I'm expecting Trump to shutter NOAA research, especially in weather/climate. I don't even know if it's worth commenting on, I think we all understand. He's going to do it. The damage will be immense. Crops will fail. People will die, directly and indirectly. It's just going to happen. Expect it.
