If the tariffs are such a smokin' hot idea and beneficial to all, why did Trump just grant a one-month reprieve for two US automakers? Wouldn't THEY be benefitting as well?! Hmmmm.

Great exchange last night between the US and China regarding war - "a trade war, or any other war."
Are there any adults in the White House right now?! Or are we going to continue this playground taunting bull$hit with another nuclear superpower? Good God.

Trump extortion: demanding 1/2 of the mineral resources from a country at war, who receive military aid from you, on the eve of peace talks that they have not yet been invited to attend. This is NOT America... it's a new, transactional, fascist movement. Good luck to us all.

For anyone who used to actually respect the GOP when it at least paid lip service to fiscal responsibility, just take a look at the latest budget proposal: $5T+ for tax cuts? Increasing the debt ceiling by $4T (signaling an intent to add up to $4T to the federal debt)? The Robber Barons are here.

We are being told that DEI efforts are making hiring for "excellence" impossible or unlikely. Tell me, doesn't hiring based on loyalty testing also stand juxtaposed to hiring "excellence"?

Normally, opinions in society are around the middle & the outliers are the minimum. But under the influence of social media-most people are either completely right or left, but there is hardly anyone in the middle. People are in their bubbles.🫧

But wait, I thought all we had to do was cut the brush and turn on a faucet in Northern California?! Maybe once we do that we can cut a bunch of fire fighters... (madness).
NEW: President Trump's hiring freeze has stopped the onboarding of seasonal federal firefighters, including those who work for agencies called on to help battle the devastating L.A. fires, creating a potential shortfall ahead of the next fire season. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Whoops! Where'd the money go? Don't let this crap go unnoticed due to the sheer volume coming out of DOGE and Trump.
These companies want to be “non-banks” that can accept deposits of your money and then not have any legal obligations to protect it—which lets them use it to speculate on crypto etc—and not have FDIC insurance. They need to kill the cfpb to do that.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau steps in when Americans have been ripped off by big banks or corporations.
It has returned more than $20 billion to consumers since it was founded over a decade ago.
Now the world’s richest man is bragging about ending it.

And here we go... consumer protections - gone! Mr Project 2025 is on the loose.
Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

Now that Trump says Musk Hackers LTD will retract themselves from the Federal Pay System, the question needs to be asked and the answer verified: what did they leave behind in a system that handles 1/5 of the US budget? A little "back door" for future, remote visits is entirely possible.

It appears that one member of the three-member crew on the Army Blackhawk was female. Sounds like a great person and officer, based on this article. Nevermind all that, though, because the President just called her out as the reason for the crash.

The Army on Saturday identified the third U.S. soldier killed in a collision between American Eagle Flight 5342 and a Black Hawk military helicopter, collaborating with relatives who a day earlier requested that officials keep her identity private.
