Trump is fighting Harvard harder than he ever fought antisemitism. We all saw his ā€œvery fine peopleā€ marching on Charlottesville, chanting ā€œJews will not replace us.ā€ ā€œStop the genocide in Gazaā€ isnā€™t anti-anyone. Itā€™s anti-killing people. www.foxnews.com/opinion/harv...

Trumpā€™s killing meā€¦ financially. I know I should grateful. Heā€™s killing people literally, too. stocks.apple.com/A1Qi2AVm7RNm...

Maybe the folks who hacked HUD and the crosswalk signs in Silicon Valley could hack Fox News and News Max and play School House Rock. (No more toe-sucking videos please. That was funny AF. but also deeply disturbing.)

Some of our neighbors did not watch Schoolhouse Rock growing up and it shows. youtu.be/WvOZs3g3qIo?...

Reagan on immigrants and what they mean to the future of our country: youtu.be/neEbo8xGGjY?...

Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (Not Trump) allowed Medicare to negotiate price cuts as much as 79% for 10 drugs among the most costly to Medicare recipients. Weird how that didnā€™t make it onto Trumpā€˜s latest menu board. Facts are facts. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Prove that you didnā€™t just snatch a legal resident of the United States off the streets and ship him to a foreign country for illegal detention. Has he been convicted of a crime? Has he been formally charged and appeared before a court? This administration is behaving like the terrorist.

Kilmarā€™s wife should be filing defamation lawsuits against liars like MTG. Her lies are propping up trump support as he stonewalls our courts, in defiance of the Constitution, the Bible, and human decency. abcnews.go.com/Politics/pro...

And the rest of the press there was every bit as worthless and disappointing as I expected them to be.

Judicial orders are optional now, apparently.

Exactly

I donā€™t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

ā€œI was just following ordersā€ was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it wonā€™t be a defense in the future here.

Now trump is trying to rebrand Bidenā€™s Chips Act so he can take credit. Trumpā€™s obsession with Biden is so weird. Maybe it's because Biden beat him, and then walked away. Or maybe itā€™s just because trump is a petty little man. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump's real problems with PBS: A) Generations of American kids have learned to read with the help of PBS giant Sesame Street. 2) Donald the Grump hurt his feelings.

Universities and Nations can band together stand up to trump. Harvard may have enough money and backing to go is alone, but that's the hard way. Bullies pick off their targets one at a time. Thirteen colonies couldn't defeat Mad King George. One young nation did. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

El Salvadorā€™s president is visiting the White House so trump has the opportunity and the legal (SCOTUS ordered) and moral obligation to bring the man kidnapped and trafficked on his orders bank to the US. But trump knows his victim will testify in court & in the court of public opinion.

I am saddened and deeply disturbed to learn about the arson attack on @governor.pa.gov's residence in Harrisburg. I am praying for him and for his family's safety, and I am grateful to the law enforcement and first responders who acted quickly to bring them to safety.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Trump's medical report is BS; it credits his health to, among other things, "his frequent victories in golf events". Playing golf, OK, but victories? That's Trump's writing. (I'd be impressed if he could walk 18 holes.) Plus, we've seen the ear. There is no scarring. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sunday, April 13, 2025 Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes. Gregorian Calendarā€™s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

Why would The Augusta National let some old fart who cheats at golf politicize the Masters? They let Regan play because he was invited by a member, his Sec. of State, George Shultz, and that turned into a hostage situation. Stay home & watch on TV Old Man. essentiallysports.com/golf?utm_sou...

Another Trump attack on freedom of speech; not suprising since he doesn't support facts either. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

1) More than 3 quarters of the detainees Noem wants to imprison for life have no criminal records. 2) Many Americans think Noem should be in prison for shooting a dog that posed no threat to her. 3) All of the above are entitled to due process under our Constitution. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/k...

Here's the webpage put up by the office of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes for people to notify her office if they're havig problems dealing with Social Security. Every state AG's office could do this. Might help. www.azag.gov/socialsecurity

They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfieldā€”not because she couldnā€™t do the job, but because she wouldnā€™t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ainā€™t about meritā€”itā€™s about ego.

Republicans used to say ā€œundocumented immigrants donā€™t pay taxes.ā€ Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHSā€¦ So which is it? Seems like youā€™d have to pay taxes to even have tax dataā€¦

Iā€™m all for reducing spending, but to do that during a recession is economic suicide. Anyone who knows anything knows that

The Canadian government has issued a travel advisory for the US. Theyā€™re warning people about their digital devices being searched. I would probably get sent to El Salvador because I have so much Trump rhetoric on my phone. Donā€™t even go there if you can avoid it, you could end up disappearing.šŸ˜¬

Yet another way to make our country poorer and our people more full of fear and doubt.

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
