Just cancelled my online Paramount subscription. I appreciated that they had an 'other' choice when asking for my reason. I was happy to share my anger that CBS is selling out - paying $16 million bribe, restraining 60 Minutes, cancelling the Tonight Show after Colbert called out the bribe.

We cannot let violence against elected officials become normalized. All my thoughts are with the victims and their families.
This is the moment for our nation to do the hard work of choosing peace in our politics.

We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.

Trump claims so many countries called him kissing his ass that he will just forget the big tariff rollout that was suppose to transform and rejuvenate our country by bringing manufacturing jobs back. He claims people kissed his ass, so forget all that.

It's not as simple as getting Trump out of the presidency. Republican politicians could stop this tariff insanity, they would just need to step up to form a veto-proof coalition. Perhaps they just want to distract us with Trump, permitting their continuing take-over of all branches of government.

It is not easy to see a way out of the current MAGA onslaught. We are encouraged to keep supporting Democratic candidates, to try to turn the House in the special elections in April, or the mid-term election.
But, the Democratic “leadership” in the Senate just surrendered to the MAGA power play.

The Republican Party Platform made 20 promises that they “will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican Majorities in the House and Senate.”
How are they doing?
• END INFLATION, AND MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE
Inflation is up and will increase with forthcoming tariffs
