How did Amazon think people would react? That they wouldn't immediately think it's not just for pets? That they already know law enforcement can subpoena video? That "opting in" doesn't preclude humans? That the next privacy update would just sneak by users? What in the hell were they thinking?!

Why are people are attracted to Trump's fascist hate mongering idiocy? He's destroying US democracy, alienated allies, imposed ridiculous tariffs, killed US citizens, disappeared people, attacked Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and now he's starving Cuba. Why would you want that? Why would anyone?

This vote may end up being more symbolic than actionable, but what it definitely is is leverage for Canada. Trump has been creating fake leverage to use against Canada for months now because CUSMA (aka USMCA) is up for review. This vote will weaken that ridiculously trumped up leverage. Stay tuned.

Aside from the total lack of coordination between the US military and FAA regarding lasers I wonder how Mexico reacted when El Paso airspace was suddenly closed. Was this a test to see their reaction? Or was the US sending Mexico a message? Some things are meant to be subtle and some things are not.

This is what the US has always done. They're either nation building or nation crushing. Trump/Rubio love to crush with no plan for what happens afterwards. They do it without thought to how it affects people. They do it for money and power. The only thing it creates for Americans is animosity abroad

Qatar gave Trump a Boeing 747-8 aircraft last year. The Trump Regime is putting money from Venezuela oil sales into a Qatar bank. Qatar doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States. Qatar may end up being the "ratline" some countries in South America were after WWII. Just saying 🙄

TrumpRX says more about US healthcare than it does about reducing drug prices. Why are the very same Big Pharma companies who jack up drug prices for people with health insurance able to cut them so drastically when peole pay out-of-pocket? Because Big Pharma is the one who sets prices. That's why.
