For those of us boycotting nestle. Be sure to include Starbucks. They have a strong partnership. That is when I quit supporting Starbucks and now find local coffee when I travel. Starbucks was local a long time ago. Too big for me now.

Zelensky is only half-right. The American people are still committed to our alliance with Europe, and specifically Ukraine. The US -- like Europe -- is under attack from Russia and has been partially captured by Russian collaborators. But we will defeat them.

DOJ correction notice this p.m. in the case re: USAID personnel moves/funding freeze: that as of Friday's hearing, 2000+ employees had been placed on leave, not 500, and that payments on current contracts had been frozen, not just future ones; lawyers say they got incorrect info

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Yes, this is exactly the question that we all need to be asking right now. One of the IGs that Trump fired was the one at the Defense Department, and he was examining Musk's breach of national security reporting protocol for Pentagon contractors. Now Dems tell me they fear this probe is dead:

In a shocking twist that surprises no one, we learn that Ivanka got $50 million from USAID. Between Musk's Pentagon contracts and Ivanka's USAID money, there really is wasteful government spending. #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpCrimeFamily

Another reason to ❤️ Costco. While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA. This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Jessica Tarlov tells the Fox audience about the good economic news under Biden they probably haven’t heard about much 👇🏽 (Which Trump will inevitably take credit for)

So Trump is going to allow foreign companies to bypass regulations giving them a competitive advantage if they invest a billion dollars in starting a business in US, but a smaller American business or startup trying to compete with that foreign business has to comply with them?

The failures of the Democratic Party are many, but the incestuous relationship between its strategists and corporate donors has played a huge role in moving the party to the Right and alienating the electorate. Things need to change in a big, big way. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/giving-the...
