The DOGE twins are floating the idea of stimulus checks of up to $5000. The last time Trump did this it was one of the few things that he did right. Trump understands the power of money. He wants to buy loyalty. It will probably work.

Meduza, an online news outfit staffed by Russian exiles, says that one of the reasons Russia doesn't want the war to end is that they don't want to deal with hundreds of thousands of demobilized soldiers. They have PTSD, drug and alcohol problems, and the job market may not be able to absorb them.

Whether you support one side or the other (I won't address that here), neither Trump, Putin, or Zelenskyy is going to miss a meal or a night's sleep over the carnage in Ukraine. It is the ordinary people, military and civilian, who are going to suffer and die. I see no glory in that.

On his way out the door Joe Biden commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier. If he did nothing else in his four years I would still be glad that I voted for him.
