This is absolute insanity!!! And right on the heels of Trump offering US security in exchange for HALF of Ukraine’s precious metals. Putting our allies at risk because Zelenskyy declined Trump’s shitty deal!!! Where is Congress in all of this?!?

As Trump detonates relationship with Ukraine, Europe has no answer
European leaders have been left "stunned" by President Donald Trump's swift reversal of American policy toward Russia, as well as on its stance toward Ukraine, one analyst said.

On Feb 15, a critical line of defense was eliminated: the CDC's Laboratory Leadership Service (LLS). This program trained highly skilled scientists to be "disease detectives," deploying them to respond to public health threats & test for everything from viruses to toxins.

So the government saying to health insurance companies "here are some ground rules" is socialism, but then Trump creating a sovereign wealth fund to buy TikTok is...fine?

A CNN analysis of Trump’s first week in office found that two-thirds of his early executive orders and actions appear closely aligned with Project 2025’s plans.
Trump said he hadn’t read Project 2025 – but most of his early executive orders overlap with its proposals | CNN Politics

I often hear voters say they wanted Trump to be President because he’s a businessman and will run our country like a business. What people still don’t realize is he was such a lousy businessman he bankrupted casinos. Casinos! That business acumen currently on full display.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

Purges are highly unusual. The attempt to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power was highly unusual. The mass pardons of hundreds of violent supporters of the president? Highly unusual.
But not for an authoritarian.
