Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Your reminders:

Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering.

Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch.

This is just another Trump family scam.

The Guardian: “Qatar is insisting that a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Doha specify that the aircraft’s transfer was initiated by the Trump administration"

Does that mean that Trump asked Quatar to give the plane to him for free?

I’m sorry, I don’t have a plane to give you,” Ramaphosa said, triggering some laughter and temporarily breaking the tension.
“I wish you did,” Trump said. “I would take it.”

The article in Politico: 'Trump should look at an unlikely predecessor ...' is such an interesting read.

It is also very childlike to suggest that Trump could follow Carters example.

Have a read, it is thoroughly enjoyable and will remind you of Trumps lack of desireable qualities.

Es erschreckt mich immer mehr, das > 98% der mir bekannten Weltanschauungen (religiöse oder politische) nur in Innensicht Sinn ergeben und nur unter Ausblendung wesentlicher Teile der Wirklichkeit stimmig bleiben.

Listening to Elizabeth Warren on Trump’s latest corruption is a wake-up call: a $2 BILLION stablecoin deal with a foreign crypto firm that enriches the Trump family—*and* the Senate might greenlight it? This is legalized grift. 🧨💰📣

The authors of the regularly published, Congress mandated National Clinate Report are all dismissed.
This fits the war against facts, truth and accountability facists force to rule without interference.

Religiously motivated hate is a major problems with all manifest and emerging autocrats:
Putin - Russian Orthodox Christians Russian Flavor against the Ukraine Flavor same
Modhi - Hindus against Muslims
Trump - Christians main flavors against anything different.
They use it all.

Santos is the ideal candidate for a presidential pardon. He is a grifter, thief and serial lier and will raise feelings of cameradie at arms.
'He just did what is normal and expected from a smart person' DT will think.

When a leader & party tell you who they are, believe them
Poilievre's CPC are suppressing the press unless CPC1 can control who asks questions w/ no follow ups.
Anyone who thinks this will improve if elected is sadly mistaken.
There will be zero transparency.
PoiLIEvre is Harper 2.0 on steroids.

1. Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, announced an audacious scheme yesterday to profit from Trump's tariffs

Truth Social will offer actively-managed INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS composed of stocks in companies who benefit from Trump's policies

It's a jaw-dropping conflict of interest

Unconcealed authoritarianism, straight from the White House.

Anyone who demands they prove that an accused person is a terrorist must be, themselves—you guessed it!—a terrorist.

Conservative and Liberal Americans reject this pigslop.

1502 Billion USD was the value of US imports in 2024 to the US from China, EU, Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan and India to the US.
The new tarrifs would have added 434 Billion addtional cost for the importers who would have sold the goods to their US customers at least 28.9% more expensive then they did.

It does show that you are a dumb or crazy doctor if you declare the patient helathy and well and well because he is still breathing after you have just opened a large blood vessel.

This related to Trump delcaring the operation to be over and the patient well and thriving.

with Brazil the US has an about 70% trade deficit. Why is Brazil not hit with special tariffs?
They are a main possible alternative to Canadian energy and grain imports, same goes for Argentia which also has a very trade surplus with US and mostly sells Oil, Gold and Hormones.

If we compare the complete trade and also include netflix, Google and such the ratio between imports, exports, trade deficit and tariffs looks like this.
It is interesting that Argenitia and Brazil are excluded.

Here are the trade tariffs with different partners and the tariffs. This focusses on trade in goods only. I do see some relation but not a very strict one.
