Google Ai says (about the banning of lawn darts): At least three children died from injuries caused by pointed lawn darts before they were banned in the United States in 1988. The deaths involved children aged 4, 7, and 13, and were attributed to the sharp-pointed metal darts used in the game.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

This fight will not be easy. 

What we're dealing with now is one of the worst stress tests our nation has ever endured.

But I believe that we will survive. 

Do not descend into despair.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?
