I have been thinking a lot about the concept of “enough” lately. I know what it is. Enough is what you need to live on comfortably with housing, food and basic needs/medical met until the end of your days.

Enough is something every American could have if we just taxed billionaires like we used to.
I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order.

Seriously, age/term limits folks. It's way past time. And yes, all of Congress & Executive & Judicial as well.
Let's let the the elderly retire & enjoy!
Ahem.
A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.

Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

The Trumpists won’t be able to implement everything they have planned exactly as they have planned it. But they are better prepared and in a far better position overall than they were in 2017.

More malevolent, less incompetent, with a weaker system to oppose them.

Why the Second Trump Regime Will Be Far More Dangerous
This will be a much more radical regime – and it will operate under conditions that are vastly more favorable to its extremist cause
