In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how clear it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

Either every company and organization ignores this order and tosses it in the garbage or look at what happened to Tesla and Target to see what will happen to them next.

No wonder why certain people love AI. AI would also prefer to spew out complete nonsense instead of admitting they don’t know something.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

One of the things I don’t see mentioned enough when talking about how all the manufacturing jobs went to China, is the fact that it’s not the fault of the Chinese. It’s the heads of U.S. companies who decided to go there because they wanted, and got, cheaper labor.

I swore when I joined Bluesky I was going to stay off the news/politics like I did on Twitter and use it to see what’s going on with artists and creators and post a few pieces myself. Events conspired to make that a pretty short run. It would seem nothing is normal again.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Didn’t watch the mad king institute tariffs on everything because I was printing more protest postcards. The cost of the Cranfield ink I use for printing is apparently going to go up by 10%. #tariffs #NoKings #printmaking

Reminder that 'savvy' political fact checkers spent the entire campaign telling voters that Trump was not going to do the things he obviously was going to do.

When I was a wee kid, my dad found a nest that had been knocked out of a tree and he rescued the baby crow. It was highly intelligent and used to bring us shiny “gifts.” #crow #linocut
