George Washington saw farther and much more clearly in 1796 than Trump’s appeasers see in 2025
".. and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." (G Washington, 1796)

RFK Jr is either IGNORANT or a LIAR. The two measles deaths — both unvaccinated children — in Texas announced today are actually the FIRST deaths attributed to the disease in the U.S. since 2015.

“We have measles outbreaks every year," Trump's health secretary said when asked about the death, which is the nation's first in a decade.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?
Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.
So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

Trump's administration has shut down important medical research, left staff in dangerous locations with no way home, he wants to kill OSHA and the Department of Education. He hasn't done anything to stop inflation or lower prices. Almost a month in, do you still think he cares about you?

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees.
Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry.

Trump is revoking Pres. Biden’s security clearance, plans to fire the Kennedy Center leadership and make himself the chair, and demands WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson be fired for criticizing weak Republicans who don’t stand up to Trump. This miserable mam is a blot against America.

Another reminder of the power of rightwing propaganda and the failure of mainstream media coverage: more people probably have heard about USAID ‘funding’ Politico (it isn’t) than about USAID funding anti-malaria programs which were just cut off and frozen by Musk and Trump.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Rescinding the cap on insulin at $35 only makes pharmaceutical richer and everyday Americans, including MAGA voters, seriously poorer.
So why does Trump do it? Because all he wants is to destroy anything Biden achieved, no matter how much damage it causes.
That what sociopathy looks like.

It’s ridiculous to suggest that a man who filled his website with Holocaust deniers, agreed with an antisemitic conspiracy theory, & helped elect another man who hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & just pardoned a guy in a Camp Auschwitz T-shirt was doing a Nazi salute.

In an alternate world, Trump would be headed to trial and facing conviction for inciting J6.
