Of course it did. It's just going to get worse when the firing and resignations set in come September, if not sooner.
Will felon/GOP/oligarchs’ extreme chaos trigger USA recession, possibly global depression with massive layoffs of workers; negative impact on U.S. farmers, families, small businesses; cutting Americans’ benefits; tariffs; trade wars; shredded trade agreements; turning on ally countries; imperialism?

Trump Flips the Script on the Ukraine War, Blaming Zelensky Not Putin
As he seeks to negotiate a peace deal with Moscow, President Trump is rewriting the history of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor.

No allegiance to Wannabe King!
Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution.
Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Just sad.
Alzheimer’s has affected many of us. It strips away a person’s dignity & emotionally, physically, and financially overwhelms families. There’s been promises of better treatments, but now that is gone bc trump/musk have cut experts in this field which will have devastating effects on all of us.
Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will those Republicans say now?

Key words. Experts in science
President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that the United States recognizes “two sexes, male and female” — but according to experts and a significant body of academic research, the definitions he used are oversimplified and inaccurate.
Trump says there are ‘two sexes.’ Experts and science say it’s not binary.
The president’s executive order signaled an intention to narrowly define the sexes, but experts say he is oversimplifying the intricate nature of human biology.

The DoD firings are going to be... interesting.

RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.
