They are the most unserious nasty performative trolls who crave the attention of 12 year olds (and the corporate media). This woman's claim to fame was shooting her puppy. Now she's head of Homeland Security.

Starting today, the US is applying 25% tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada, its two biggest trade partners. This decision comes after a months-long delay for talks on issues like drug trafficking and migration at the US border. ⁠

This is just a game for Elon, but the consequences for families in Oregon and across the country are real and dire. His purge of the federal government is going to make life harder and more expensive for all of us.

Stupid move. Russia is NOT our friend. They won't stop offensive cyber ops against us, and they won't stem Russian cyber crime against us. We have willfully blinded ourselves to true Russian intentions on a number of issues. Russia will take full advantage of this. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

A very detailed history of what has happened/is happening to our relationship with Russia, what is changing, and why it is, and was, dangerous. Everything footnoted, as opposed to just allegations. Worth taking the time to read. www.facebook.com/heathercoxri...

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Trump fired Admiral Linda Lee Fagan, first woman to lead the Coast Guard, on his first day in office. Now he has fired General C.Q. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Admiral Lisa Franchetti, first woman to lead the Navy. All remaining top leaders? White men. #military #dei #pentagon

This is from the official White House X account... "long live the king." Completely tone-deaf and inappropriate. Trolling? Maybe, but the US President shouldn't be a troll. No kings, no trolls.
