"The Trump administration proposed on Wednesday to significantly limit protections under the Endangered Species Act, the bedrock environmental law intended to prevent animal and plant extinctions."

DOGE was a data grab with retribution against agencies that had investigative/regulatory power over Musk. As it integrates data from multiple agencies for "cost saving tasks" the real goal is to give the AI company a cut from the “savings”, raising risks.

We are in a cycle where we always need to release one more piece of info on Trump to show his predatory behavior. Maybe this time it will catch Trump?

Today's Epstein news reminds me that in 1994 the Washington Post called for an independent counsel investigation of Whitewater "even though -- and this should be stressed -- there has been no credible charge in this case that either the president or Mrs. Clinton did anything wrong."

Why healthcare costs are so high?
Timeline of private equity entry into healthcare
Mid-2000s: Private equity firms started aggressively targeting the healthcare industry for acquisitions.
2003–2017: A 2021 Health Affairs study noted that private equity acquired 282 hospitals during this period.

The question I now have for my invisible Blue State Senators.
Are you mentoring younger leaders as part of your retirement plan?
We told you Schumer needed to go.
Time for you to retire because you failed to listen that we needed new leadership.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was sexually assaulted in the street and is rightfully pressing charges. Many women, including myself, have had similar experiences. Yet men tell me men’s violence against women isn’t their problem.
As long as that attitude persists, so will the violence.
