Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Horrible that the family of Rebecca M. Lobach had to hesitate to identify her because the President of the country she served might use her death for political gain #RIPRebeccaLobach www.npr.org/2025/02/01/g...

Still don't think Elon Musk is an overt white supremacist with a grudge, who is currently trying to dismantle USAID because it helped end apartheid in South Africa?

It’s a major surprise to me that this is the first time it’s happened. The methodology in defining a top scientist was to look at the authors of the most cited papers in 129 scientific journals. Since 2020, the number of U.S. top scientists has declined by 14% while it’s up by 77% in China.

Donald Trump's economy. Bravo MAGA, for these idiotic tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Notice the Dow fell off a cliff after Karoline Leavitt announced in her White House press briefing.

The fentanyl problem was caused by American legal drug cartel Purdue Pharma. Demonizing Mexico and China for something we caused is really really rich.

Who else thinks it’s very strange that Trump is levying 25% tariffs on our allies Canada and Mexico, but only a 10% tariff on our adversary China?

So while announcing the tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed it was necessary to stop the distribution of fentanyl, which she said has "killed tens of millions of Americans." The number of overall drug overdose deaths -- not just fentanyl -- was 101,000.

Donald Trump says that "people will understand" that prices will go up because of his Trump Tax tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. He campaigned on lowering the price of food and goods, not raising them.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Donald Trump's looming 25% tariffs on Canada tomorrow: "If the president does choose to implement any tariffs against Canada, we're ready with a response. A purposeful, forceful but reasonable, immediate response."

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

They’re still pulling bodies from the Potomac & trump is already blaming DEI for the worst air disaster in America in over 20 yrs. He has no evidence of this, of course. But he wants to play politics with the bodies of 67 people presumed dead in this tragedy because he is stupid, racist and evil.
