From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

Here’s an update on the guy in charge of finding fraud in our government.

There are a few problems with the richest man donating internet service to the White House...(a) Conflicts of interest; (b) Musk already collects billions from gov't contracts; (c) if employees are using Starlink, Musk could have access their data. He could also pull that service whenever he wants.

Holy shit. This happened last night at the townhall of MAGA Congresswoman Harriet Wageman, who defeated Liz Cheney in deep red Wyoming, where Trump won with over 45%, the biggest margin in the nation. Give 'em hell.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

FINALLY we are seeing some pushback from SOMEBODY! Lawyer up, Donnie

Elon Musk strongly embraces and endorses Germany’s AfD. The AfD is a far-right political party, labeled right-wing-extremist by Germany’s domestic intelligence service. The AfD embraces and endorses the horrific ideology and legacy of Hitler and Nazis. Seeing Musk striking a Sieg Heil pose…

There were over 900 manatees at Blue Springs this week, an all time high. We went last Friday when over 700 were counted. Lots of young ones, so great to see. I will probably go here on Monday, I certainly won’t be watching any news coverage!

More good news for those looking to exit Meta’s social app ecosystem. An independent dev is building a photo-sharing app for #Bluesky called Flashes. It's powered by the same tech that underpins Bluesky, the AT Protocol, and has been built using code from the devs earlier Bluesky client, Skeets.
