@aprildryan.bsky.social points out what no one is asking about Trump’s federal military crackdown: “How much is this costing the American taxpayer? There is a cost to this in cities where the crime rate has dropped”

Last year, Illinois abolished requiring prior authorization for inpatient mental health care — and now, we're extending it to outpatient care.
Patients and their doctors should be in control of decisions about their care, not insurance companies.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been handed over to a private company. In an oligarchy, control of national assets is privatized. The US DoE web site says this contract was awarded after a "rigorous competitive selection process". How stupid do they think we are?

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky?
Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army.
And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Army Choir surrounded the MAGA hierarchy dining in White House East Room to sing "Do You Hear The People Sing"
It was lost on Trump but Vance was super fidgety
"Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again"

We've been looking for some response to Trump from Europe, but in reality, African and South America, which both have close ties to China, may be where we see the stiffest resistance.

This is, IMO, most interesting ¶ of Colombian President Gustavo Petro's response to Trump.
There's a lot going on, including Petro's invocation (w/mention of Aurelianos Bunedía of GGM's 100 Years of Solitude), which I hope others explain in more length.
He's suggesting he has outside allies.

My GUESS is that Xi Jinpeng has given Petro assurances that China will replace US purchasing of Colombian goods--primarily coffee and also flowers.
And that's a way to alert Trump that China has means to sway South America (which has long been obvious but Trump has shoddy advisors).

the speed with which AOC’s colleague jumps up to yield her an extra 30 seconds so she can land her closer: teamwork
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."
