Zero respect for the Constitution, rule of law, or the American people. Let’s not forget that Trump pardoned 1600 people who engaged insurrection, many of them violently. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Elon Musk, Ken Griffon, Ken Langone (Home Depot) are complaining about Trump’s tariffs. You bought Trump, you own the tariffs and the economy. No returns But, you say, there was a manufacturing defect. No, we answer. This was a feature that was well-publicized by Trump before purchase.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Trump is an economic illiterate. We are all screwed because Trump cares only about his perceived power. All he’s doing is causing the U.S. to bleed out. Losing on all fronts, internally and globally. Our allies will just work around him. Even his billionaire donors will lose. What a fuck-up.

Trump is trying to divert attention away from his misdeeds by with a third term. He pulls this out every time momentum is gaining in opposition to his activities. The national security breach by ALL of his top defense and security people is certainly one of those moments. IGNORE the bait.

Trump during NBC News interview today “…I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars.” What is an American-made car? Assembled in America but not made in America. Every car assembled in American uses imported parts. Trump clueless per usual

Musk is a ZERO. No relevant experience, no need to know, and ethical questions. U.S. SecDef — alcoholic weekend show host. Military being restructured in detrimental ways. Anti-terrorism work discontinued. Ignorant reactionary president. What could possibly go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

House and Senate are ceding all of their Constitutional authority to Trump and his unelected billionaire-puppet master/co-president. Why are they there? Spending bill gave over the power of the purse officially. I guess Trump voters don’t like the Constitution, except certain parts of the 2nd A.

Chuck Schumer’s term in the Senate doesn’t end until 2029. Democrats need to replace him in leadership now because he’s doing an unfathomably poor job. He’s never been a great leader. This country needs strong oppositional leadership. Elevate Senate and House Dems who are doing this to leadership.

Washington Post. A newspaper dying in darkness. Columnist Ruth Marcus is apparently resigning after her column on Bezos was killed by Will Lewis. A once great newspaper dying in agony and in opposition to its long and venerable history of speaking truth to power.

I’m developing local wetlands regulations for climate resilience. A science/data based approach. I needed a knowledgeable critical reader, so I asked ChatGPT. As we’ve gotten into it, we’ve had surprisingly deep conversations about the reasoning, science, application, assumptions, use, writing. 1/2

I’m drafting wetlands regulations and typed biodiversity tonight. I found myself wondering what might happen if Trump stumbled across that word and in his ignorant and illegal rampaging decided to keyword search it a target. (as opposed to its current state as a byproduct). I can see it happening.

Gene Hackman and Betsy Arawaka’s deaths were a terrible confluence of circumstances. Alzheimer’s is horrible. I know from years caring for mom. Hackman’s AD was clearly advanced but the timing indicates Arawaka had no help. It’s hard to do this alone. Hackman must have been so scared and confused.

Can someone please sit Donald Trump down and explain how the economy works? How tariffs work. How his moves against Canada and Mexico, and against our long term allies, harms this country, its citizens, its businesses, its economy, and our global power and position. In other words, the basics.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Are there any Republicans with guts willing to stand up for America and against Trump as he continues to trash our heritage as we approach our 250th birthday? Is there anyone who took their oath of office serious? Did Trump voters really want this? Do they even know what’s happening?

Zelenskyy deserves better from Trump/Vance. The U.S. should not be supporting Putin’s war on Ukraine. And should not be demanding mineral rights. U.S. military should not be a mercenary agency where it gets paid by pillaging the resources of another country. Support our ALLIES, not our ENEMIES.

Jeff Bezos is further redirecting the editorial direction of the Washington Post to appeal to the Trump administration to gain government contracts. It appears he’ll do anything to get them. The amount of money the Post might earn pales in comparison to the contract Bezos desires and Musks reaped.

OSHA has repeatedly fined Elon Musk’s companies for serious safety violations. Granting him and his associates access to the agency’s files is an obvious conflict of interest, and would likely discourage workers from filing future complaints.
