Still adventuring, taking photos, painting, traveling, and trying to live the best life possible. Pour me a coffee and let's hang and talk about music, philosophy, ideas, art, architecture, and the world. Deep Blue in a red state.

This is concerning during Trump’s press conference, he portrayed Washington as a testing ground, a place to prove MAGA can manage and “revitalize” cities better than Democrats, with the goal of making it a model for other Democratic-led cities across the USA. A model for what exactly, martial law?

“One California fire chief told Stateline, ‘The public needs to know they’re at risk. If the public knew all of this, they would lose their minds.’”
Thanks to Trump, your summer vacation could be a hot mess: Cruise ships crawling with viruses, unsafe food, raging forest fires, unreliable weather forecasts, understaffed national parks. And don't forget to pack a burner phone. My latest for @contrariannews.org ⤵️

There’s no vacation from Trump. He’s ruining everything.

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.
