The Atlanta Fed just updated their GDP tracker and it showed an even worse drop in GDP for the 1st quarter of -2.8%, down from +3% at the start of the Trump administration. The closest precedent to this was the economic crisis at the start of COVID.

Don’t fall for Elon Musk’s smoke screen.
What he doesn’t want you to know is that there’s a fix to extend Social Security’s solvency: end the tax cap.
Billionaires like him reach the cap on New Year’s Day. Let them contribute all year long like the rest of us. Problem solved.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

Again, it is impossible to overstate the magnitude of the Article I constitutional crisis we are currently in the midst of, while Congress does nothing & major media outlets don’t seem at all interested in explaining this on front pages in large font headlines. We’re not a serious country.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.
"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations."
Astonishing betrayal of an ally.

I need EVERYONE to share this and send it to the MAGA person in your life. Ask them- what will make them turn against Trump, Elon and the MAGA movement? Is it treason? It should be! I saw Mishi4change’s video on TikTok, and this blew me away. I hadn’t seen this before! 🤦🏻♂️

It’s hard to feel hopeful in the face of so much violence and gaslighting. That is why it is important to periodically disconnect from the noise and reconnect with our inner natures. To “touch grass,” as the often-snarky internet memes suggest. Let us apply our magic.
