Someone in his administration told him he ended 8 wars. And that GDP is awesome. And that he's creating jobs. And that his poll numbers are great. Trump doesn't have a clue what's going on, he only knows what he's told.

You probably heard the US admin is threatening to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research: but did you know they already froze funding for the 9 regional Climate Science Adaptation Centers? From tracking invasives to helping tribes with drought, here's why the CASCs matter ⬇️

Alternate media is now essential media, because the "mainstream" press is no longer reporting on essential stories, including the rapid decaying of Trump's mind and body.

I’ve seen thousands of posts about welfare fraud from right-wingers on social media, which should be prosecuted if people committed crimes, but zero posts about the dozens of wealthy rich fraudsters who stole billions from thousands of people who have been pardoned by Trump.

Windy. Warm start today. Lots of clouds, but only a passing shower — no consistent rain.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

A beloved RVA figure killed by a driver in broad daylight is a tragedy made worse by how preventable it was. City leaders love touting Vision Zero, but dither on redesigning demonstrably dangerous roads out of incompetence, lack of urgency, fear of inconveniencing drivers, etc. This is the result.
