The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

Off the YT algo. Post Woodstock Jimi on w Dick Cavett. BB King said Jimi didn't drink or drug and I believe it. I almost think he was on the spectrum now. Re the nat'l anthem: "All I did was play it. I'm American so I played it." Just beautiful. Imagine if he lived.

You know the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)? Venerable research institution, respected worldwide?

Trump has put an oil executive in charge of it & changed its name to the "National Laboratory of the Rockies."

It's so embarrassing being American these days.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Pollster: Trump's net approval rating among voters under the age of 30 is going into a deep, dark black hole. Look at that, -46. That is a shift on the net approval of 56 points in the wrong direction since February. We almost never see drops this big, this quickly.
