You know, this reminds me that I’m old enough to remember when some people were saying that Joe Biden was so out of it somebody had to be running the government for him

It appears like the honeymoon is over… 🀣

German's AfD is a neo-Nazi party with leaders who have praised Hitler. Elon Musk--who derailed a bipartisan bill to prevent a government shutdown and thinks homelessness is a joke--just praised them. This is the person many Republicans want as the next Speaker. newrepublic.com/post/189609/...

Google is hoping AI can make these jobs obsolete. This is also on top of the 12,000 jobs--roughly 6% of their workforce--they eliminated in 2023. Also consider that 4 Google Execs received a 200% stock options bonus earlier this year. Is this efficiency or corporate greed? shorturl.at/WYmul

He was the last remaining bit of sanity left on Fox. The "news" network that paid $787.5 million for making false statements about Dominion while touting election lies has decided they'd rather not have anyone who fact-checks. Anything to appease their Orange God. www.cnn.com/2024/12/19/m...

51 percent oppose Trump tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China: Poll We can assume the other 49% are unaware of how tariffs work. thehill.com/policy/inter...

Trump initially distanced himself from Project 2025, calling parts of it "ridiculous and abysmal." Looks like he's back to singing its praises. Gee, who would have seen this coming? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

If you make quality products that you feel are safe, why would you want to scrap the reporting that shows if these are safe? #elonmusk #tesla #trump Exclusive: Trump transition wants to scrap crash reporting requirement opposed by Tesla - www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Try not to be surprised, but Trump didn't do a good job stating facts during his interview. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

When former RNC chairs are sounding the alarm, you know the GOP's moral compass is spinning faster than the Tasmanian Devil. It appears former RNC officials have gone from the Grand Old Party to being the Glaringly Obvious Party. #gop #trump #rnc www.newsweek.com/michael-stee...

Happy Thanksgiving πŸ¦ƒ www.newsweek.com/kamala-harri...

Not the Thanksgiving message I would share, but we elected Trump. This will be par for the course over the next 4 years. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

An officer's pledge is to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to protect their country against all enemies, foreign and domestic." At no point does it say they swear an oath to a sitting president. Musk needs to understand that. thehill.com/policy/techn...

Wall Street analysts are split on the Fed's rate outlook, with some predicting 2025 cuts and others warning of inflation risks. Key factors include consumer resilience, labor stability, and inflation trends. #inflation #federalreserve #economy #economics fortune.com/2024/11/27/j...

Funny because true.

He is deliberately giving their full names. He has shown he doesn't understand what they do nor their importance. He also doesn't care that the more people he fires, the more he hurts the economy he claims he wants to help. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It is all in the telling. It also speaks volumes about perspective.

Threatening senators with financial and political retaliation undermines our system of checks and balances. The Senate’s role is to independently vet nominees, not to rubber-stamp them under pressure. #politics #trump #cabinet www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Basic income would give people the most important freedom: the freedom of deciding for themselves what they want to do with their lives. Rutger Bregman, Dutch journalist, writer and historian

This is awesome.

Good advice for those times the cards seem stacked against us.
