Trump's every visit to the bathroom is apparently an exercise in disappointment and frustration. But the truth is that toilets, showers, and light bulbs are much better today because of govt and industry working together, i.e. SUCCESSFUL REGULATION.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Setting parameters in your life provides a cushion of protection. Setting boundaries is not self-ish it's self-preservation.

A rainbow emerged over Chicago this week after a storm. Photo captured by the amazing Barry Butler Photography. This photo illicits a feeling of relief, hope, and better things on the horizon. I think this is how we will all feel when the current storm in the USA has passed.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

For Donald Trump and Elon Musk, if you don’t bend the knee, you’re a traitor.
Senator Kelly served in combat as a Navy fighter pilot. He commanded NASA missions into space. He’s a patriot.
Like many of us, he believes in freedom and democracy — including for Ukraine.
