Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up.

Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food.

Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters.

What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

While there's a lot of economic uncertainty under Trump, there's also one pattern that has proved to be completely reliable pattern through every policy announcement:
- Whenever he raises tariffs, markets tank
- Whenever he reduces tariffs, markets rise.
