This is an excellent piece. Please read. "If we’re going to issue debt to buy super speculative assets that have no use today, have never had a use, but some evangelists claim will solve all of our society’s problems, why stop at crypto? How about a strategic Powerball ticket reserve?"

As diligently as Trump is implementing every facet of Project 2025, there's some fine print he might have glossed over. Once it's all in place, they don't need him anymore. A compliant Vance waits in the wings, prepped by Musk/Thiel and ready to complete the transition to an oligarchy.

The US added only 151,000 jobs in February, lower than the forecast 170,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.1%. Yet again, a Republican president is blowing the strong economy he inherited from a Democrat.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Last night’s joint address to Congress was filled with lies, all designed to distract you from the truth. Trump is failing to deliver on any of his promises to the American people. When it comes to lowering prices or protecting free speech, Trump is doing the opposite.

The last Vet I was close to was my stepson. He served for 20 years. About a year later he was diagnosed with Appendix Cancer in January of 2016 and died October 2016. He was 48 years old. I met him for the first time when he was 10.💔💔. So please walk for him. Thank you. 💙💙💙💙

The Trump administration would rather see you die than let you have an abortion. They are preparing to drop the federal case that would force Idaho to SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES in a medical emergency. ID was arguing, their abortion ban takes precedence over a silly little rule(EMATALA) to LET YOU LIVE.
