GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This is disgusting. What a standard set by Elon
Another day, another Nazi salute. Elon Musk has inspired a monstrous new trend. This time, it’s a man of the cloth resurrecting memories of Hitler.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.
