This administration wants fewer rules for their private business dealings but more control over public education. The attack on higher learning is deliberate, and it’s dangerous. The attack on intellectual freedom clearly shows a heightening authoritarian regime. #Harvard

GDP projections went from a projected 2.3% increase to -2.8% decrease (source: GDPNow, Atlanta Fed)

Trade war tariffs went into effect. The last Trump tariff impact of 2018 shrunk the GDP by 0.2%. And by now we should all recall Smoot Hawley tariff impacts. History matters.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

Tom Hamon is going to learn really quick why the American Revolution was successful. It started in Boston and up here, they don’t let any arrogant and useless monarchy-idealizing dictator pull rank on the people of the city. The people of Boston will end the Border Czar’s campaigns quickly

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

When you realize 21% of American adults are functionally illiterate, of which 65%+ of those are native English speakers born in the United States for those who are going to make that claim, everything about this unconstitutional power grab begins to make a lot more sense.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552.

Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

Rereading Fahrenheit 451, and the blood cleaning machine m connected in a new way. Instead of treating the cause of the “8-9 calls a night” for suicide attempts, they clean the blood quickly w/o doctor. Narcan parallels? Great product, but we can’t give up on solving the cause. #booksky

Hey Canada, can you start talking about taking in the northeast also? New England/Midatlantic ought to do it. Not forever, more like fostering us until the US can get through this weird puberty-like phase. I’ll go all in on Tim Hortons, it’s not a problem. Plz save us. Thanks. 🇨🇦

The Kendrick performance is unreal with the artistry and delivery. Watch it again and see what your take is. It truly feels like you’re in a short film taking it all in when it stands alone - absolutely incredible. I wish he was on tour right now, this is too good.
