My late 20s son suffered a debilitating brain injury 5 years ago leaving him a vision impared and tetraplegic. In rehehab he set himself 3 big goals. To walk, to finish university and to get a job. He has acheived all 3 as of this week. I marvel at his courage, and could not be more proud of him.

H-1B visas now cost two Homans. (I also think @marisakabas.bsky.social could help here)
Like Scaramucci has become a unit of time (11 days), can Homan become an internet unit of money ($50,000)?

In 1945 and America played a leading role in executing Germans who "were just following orders". O How America has changed

Does anyone else notice how the Kirk killing took the Epstein files off the front pages?

7 months in and the Trump regime is chaos. The only question is whether the chaos is deliberate.

The extraordinary lengths the Trump DOJ is going to cover up for Trump over Epstein suggests that not only is Trump mentioned (in its self unsurprising given the photos of the 2 together) but that the information and context is extremely damaging to Trump.

Of Trumps 12 banned countries. Iran has qualified for the FIFA world cup. Creates a conundrum for FIFA and the US especially given the possible state of war that the counties may be in.

This appears to be a deliberate act of shooting a foreign reporter with a rubber bullet.

What type of depravity does it take to deploy Homeland security agents against elementary school children. What sickens me to my core is these decision makers claim to be Christian while they attack and scare these little kids. Think for a moment how your 6 -10 year old may react.
Carvalho notes that Stephen Miller is deploying Homeland Security claiming that elementary schoolers pose a national security threat.
Los Angeles Unified School District
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

Ernst needs to resign. That she is happy for her low income constituents to die to secure tax cuts for the rich is mind-numbingly evil.
She’s worse than awful.
Joni Ernst makes things even WORSE

There are reasons why America has lower life expectancy, higher maternal and infant mortality rates than other developed countries. Politicians like Dan Crenshaw actively promoting the denial of health care for the poor is one of them. Employment should not be a pre condition to seeing a doctor.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Medicaid: "The person we're taking it away from is the able-bodied adult with no children who refuses to work."

Trump puts tariffs on, the markets crash, pauses tariffs the markets go up. Yet he is too fucking stupid to to figure out tariffs are the problem

When you elect a President with a pathological inability to admit he is wrong, who makes a monumental fuck up destroying the economy, retirement savings and jobs, we look to a republican led Senate and House who have been emasculated by fear of being primaried, the outcome is simple.
We're fucked.

Trump's principal 2 April achievement is to unite the rest of the world with the common goal or working on trade partnerships that exclude the United States

Auto tariffs are devastating for the US car industry. As US cars price thenselves out of export markets and face devastating domestic price rises, Japan S Korea china and europe will quickly fill the US export markets which the US may never get back

So far Trump has threatened to annex Canada, invade Greenland, commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza. His sidekick Musk has insulted world leaders, comitted illegal purges of government agencies. His idiot VP has managed to piss off the entire European union. And Chuck Schumer thinks he has a plan

To the rich donors that backed Trump because of lower taxes and the economy. How's that working out for you?
