look if there's one thing Trump is genuinely good at, it's bankrupting casinos
One state where Trump is really wreaking havoc: Nevada. Las Vegas tourism, a major chunk of the state economy, has been stung by a policy of harassing foreign visitors. And the sectors Nevada is trying to diversify into are feeling the Trump economic pain too. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social:
Nevada’s Trump Slump Bleeds Beyond the Strip
With tourism sagging, Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo aims to elevate manufacturing, logistics, and tech. But Trump’s policies are hurting those industries, too.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

Trump never learned diplomacy or decency. This confirms he was never qualified.

Turns Out, Trump and DOGE Haven’t Actually Saved Any Money.
The Trump administration spent $710 billion between January 21 and February 20, nearly a billion more than Joe Biden spent in a similar time period last year.

Y'all, when Elon starts launching the paid protestors line at @indivisible.org, you know that what you're doing is working. Keep it up. And in case you needed a reminder, the next congressional recess is March 15th-23rd. And it's going to be loud. Let me be clear: we will not back down.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
