If we have learned anything, this should be the most important lesson of all. This election was won by non voters. Voting is a right that many countries don't have. Democracy lost because of non voters, and now we are in real danger of losing that very right!!!

Pure, simple greed.

So here we sit:
1. The very thing our Founders feared - tyranny - sits in the White House.
2. A Republican-led Congress is fully subservient to the tyrant.
3. The Courts are ill-equipped to deal with the threat.
4. That leaves us. That leaves “we the people.” As it should be.

I know the Senate has a tradition of being the less hostile chamber, but I would love to see one Dem Senator today, stand up & demand the resignation not just of Pete Hegseth, but of every Senator who voted to confirm him.

China's government is past caring whether the US imposes tariffs or not. It assumes the US is almost exclusively an adversary at this point, and welcomes the chance to decouple, even if it's painful. More importantly, it's positively gleeful that every other country is a target too.
