Retired veteran here. I just took a look at my December 2025 LES. It appears that my Tricare costs per month increased 83%. Is anyone else noticing an increase?

Oligarch billionaires don't pledge allegiance to a particular country. Most have dual (multi) country citizenship. The tax dollars they collect from our welfare for the wealthy government programs & by not paying their fair share of taxes trickle down to other countries selling cheaper goods. 🤔 😪

Q of the Day (double):
Why do right-wing propaganda outlets push flat earth & fake moon landing theories?
Who benefits from this misinformation?
Well, both theories discredit NASA, & as a result NASA funding has dropped.
Now, Space X & Blue Origin are on a welfare for the wealthy gov program.🤔

Will blue state governors be brave enough to emplace new "fair-share" taxes on their rich & JUSTIFY IT BECAUSE THEIR RICH HAD THEIR FEDERAL TAXES LOWERED - AGAIN!!??
This would allow governors to provide substitute services to their own in-need citizens who are suffering from federal cuts.

The next democratic president must do the same crimes against the constitution as Trump. When questioned, he/she should say, "Well, Trump did it." Then add, "If congress takes action making it unquestionably illegal to do, then I will sign the bill into law & make reparations. Now, go pound dirt."

We need to proactively think & plan. We must disrupt Trump's planned disruptions for the future 2026 Election Day
Given that a large proportion of Republican voters vote in-person on election day, we need to distract Trumps' forces from the election lines by scheduling No Kings style rallies nearby

I'm torn. 😔
I remembered the Trump 2017-2021 shit-show when it was time to vote in 2024. I predicted the economic chaos that so many American farmers are feeling right now. Yet, many of them voted in favor of the chaos.
My spite says no welfare bailouts.
My compassion says 0% government loans.

Can states have their law enforcement officers observe (1st hand and on video) federal officers (ICE) and issue warrants and arrest those agents that break their laws when interacting with their citizens and their "guests?"

Today's thought:
If a pro-democracy majority wrestles back the power of our Democratic Republic from the hands of autocratic billionaires, the first items on the agenda must be to autocrat-proof our democracy.
#1 Any POTUS vs Legistature court ruling must default to the Legislature. No exceptions

Trump has a track record of suing for defamation, even for petty things.
Elon Musk Tweeted that "DJT is in the Epstein files," which if false, is a very libelous statement.
Why hasn't Trump sued Elon Musk for defamation here? The absence of a lawsuit makes Trump appear guilty.

Question of the day:
Why didn't Trump hire more actors to attend his military parade today? 🤔
The Dems are doing it right in so many cities. It must have cost them tens of billions of dollars to hire all those actors. Surely, their campaign coffers are empty! 🤣🤣🤣

Trump's successor should use their executive powers (& immunity) to seize the $400M + $1B plane & order it destroyed. The military could demolish it as a training exercise. Further, broadcast the destruction for all to see.
Future, would-be corrupt president influencers might rethink their "gifts."

The White House claimed they sent 238 violent MS-13 gang members from Venezuela directly to a prizon in El Salvador where once in, there is no out.
Anti-trump media & the courts are all about the "violation of due process."
Why isn't "abuse of power" a topic?
Go directly to jail! Who says that? 🤔

Musk continues to call Sen Kelly a traitor because Musk claims Kelly's support for Ukraine does not represent American interests.
Well Elon, I think:
* supporting Russia is treasonous
* citizenship in Canada & South Africa undermines USA citizenship
* Elected Senators speak for their constituents

Is May 30, 2025 a date on your calendar?
It should be. It marks 130 days since January 20, 2025. The day DOGE was created & Elon Musk became a Special Government Employee. SGEs can only work 130 days per year.
I wish Schumer set this date on the CR extension; but instead, we got ZERO.

With the House, Senate, and Supreme Court all holding republican majorities, there really is no excuse for breaking the law to enact new policies. The legal way is much slower.
Maybe the real goal is to break the constitution?

Musk is calling the left "deranged & mentally ill" for allegedly committing destructive acts at Tesla dealerships ..like there are no right-wing seniors & veterans that hate him to the core.
It makes Clinton's "half of Donald Trump's supporters belong in a basket of deplorables" seems kinda mild.
