We hiked the Little Arsenic trail at the Wild Rivers National Monument near Questa, NM. It was only 2 miles out and back but it was down almost 800 ft and then 800 ft back up again.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Looks like Trump's new populist working class GOP will pay for tax cuts for rich/corporations by:

*killing green manufacturing jobs
*taxing ordinary US consumers
*nixing food assistance (impacting Trump country)
*making life easier for wealthy tax cheats
