“…total number of federal government workers who will lose their jobs because of mass layoffs being pushed by the second Trump Administration…remains to be seen. But according to reporting from the Washington Post and Newsweek, the number could be as high as 200,000.”

“Israel has sparked global outrage after dropping leaflets over the besieged Gaza Strip, warning Palestinians to either cooperate with its forces or face forced displacement or eradication…"The world map will not change if all the people of Gaza cease to exist."

“…proposal to confiscate Russian assets faces legal & economic hurdles. Some EU nations, including Germany & France, have voiced opposition, warning that such a move could have significant repercussions for the international role of the euro & undermine legal frameworks governing sovereign assets.”

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

US stock markets fell sharply after an economic report showed American consumers are growing increasingly fearful of price increases and how President Donald Trump's tariffs could reignite the inflation crisis.

Excellent map and info on Medicaid!

“A professional, apolitical military that is subordinate to the civilian government and supportive of the Constitution rather than a political party is essential to the survival of our democracy.“

“…suffering is an inevitable fact of life & …life is only suffering when one is not listening to golden-era Supertramp. I was recently lent a remastered version of Breakfast In America, & it went down so damn smooth that it completely shifted my stance on pain & the human condition” Love This 🤣

“The Trump administration has rescinded its decision to cut off legal aid for unaccompanied immigrant children, just three days after it ordered government-funded attorneys across the country to immediately stop their work.” Out of control idiots!

Upset to learn that Judge Vargas’s clerks don’t follow me on here bc if they did she would’ve added one more thing to this order….

63% of Ukrainians approve of Zelensky as president, poll shows #news #worldnews

tRump's outrageous behavior toward Ukrainian Pres Zelenskyy has caused a rift within the GOP, as traditional conservatives defend the wartime leader struggling against Russia's invasion. It's pathetic to see tRump attack someone who's bravely defending their homeland www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

“The ouster of Brown, only the second Black general to serve as chairman, is sure to send shock waves through the Pentagon. His 16 months in the job had been consumed with the war in Ukraine and the expanded conflict in the Middle East.”

“…Musk is spending the time he's not slashing the federal government, suspending vital government services, or threatening reporters with prison for doing their jobs, to make crude penile & sexual jokes…and it reveals something about the movement he's cultivating.”

“For a leader who once suggested postponing U.S. elections, openly admires strongmen, & reportedly considered invoking a type of martial law to stay in power, calling someone else a dictator is like a black hole calling a shadow dark. But hey, self-awareness has never been a core tenet of Trumpism.”

“…DOGE…created out of thin air…has no official role, and none of its employees have been vetted or confirmed by Congress…Musk has used a machete rather than a scalpel to make indiscriminate cuts — cuts that quickly will affect every single person in this country & not in a good way.”

“None of these officers’ activities was or is illegal, and at no time have ….they individually engaged in any misconduct, nor are they accused of poor performance…being fired because of their assumed beliefs about a domestic political issue…without due process of law.” Heartbreaking!

The bus bombing in Bat Yam Tel Aviv was done by Jewish Israelis 3 Israelis have been arrested, and there's now a reporting ban to stop the truth coming out The attack was weaponized by Netanyahu and his Defence Minister to escalate attacks on the West Bank last night 👇🏼 Anyone surprised ?

And…Poof, like magic🪄it disappeared… “Stocks slumped on Friday, with the S&P 500 wiping out almost all of its gains since President Trump took office last month, after a widely watched measure of how consumers feel about the economy showed mounting fears over stubborn inflation.” #Conman47

“Nearly every single one of his programs and actions are now unpopular with a majority of Americans, especially his pardoning of violent January 6th insurrectionists & laying off thousands of federal employees, some of whom are Trump voters. A majority of American voters see Trump as a “dictator…”

Trump called Zelensky a dictator and blamed Ukraine for starting the war, which has caused outrage across Europe and the world. Democratic leaders and Ukrainians are rallying behind Zelensky and vowing to defend and support Ukraine more than ever in response to Trump repeating Kremlin propaganda.
