Pathetic little Trump is obviously imitating Hitler so here are few points to remember: The population of Germany was 70 million. the German Jewish population was ~600,000 (less than 1%), a small, hugely outnumbered minority was demonized cupola.gettysburg.edu/cgi/viewcont...

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Trashing social infrastructure to give tax cuts to their cronies is what Republicans do, including our little Trump lite Mayor Stothert who gleefully sold off our snowplows and funneled www.facebook.com/JeanforMayor

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.
