An American football field is 57,600 square feet (360 feet long by 160 feet wide)
So the liar Trump’s ballroom is 90000 sq feet so more that 1.5 times the size of a football field
Democrats should campaign on bulldozing it on day #1

Just amazing that the us president and treasury secretary do not understand that if inflation falls from 3.0% to say 2.8% prices have not fallen
Price increases have slowed but prices are higher than they were in January
Maybe they are just lying or maybe worse they are just dumb?

Loneliness is "an unanticipated consequence of development and a certain kind of progress.” Professors Darrin McMahon and @dannyblanchy.bsky.social discussed the history of loneliness at #Dartmouth’s recent symposium on youth well-being, which Blanchflower was instrumental in organizing.
An apology to Gen Z, from the Harvard scholar behind ‘Bowling Alone’ book: 'You didn't cause the problem, we caused this problem' | Fortune
Robert Putnam famously diagnosed America as "bowling alone" 25 years ago. Things have just gotten lonelier—and Trumpier—since.

SNAP on hold, AGAIN
Thank Leonard Leo, the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and their stacking of SCOTUS.
As far as they're concerned, it's all going according to plan.
Evil incarnate.
When SNAP goes down, the whole economy suffers.

So the the United States Supreme Court has gone from protecting schoolchildren from racism in 1954 to helping to kill them with malnourishment in 2025? And the arc of history bends towards justice, you say?
