Trump supporter, but that fact is mentioned at the end of the article. So sorry, she lost my sympathy.
She served the American people for 35 years. Now her retirement income is on the line — NPR
As part of Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” the House voted to end a retirement supplement aimed at helping federal employees who retire before they’re 62.

Gotta say, the Trump economy sucks.

This is unconscionable.
Madagascar - one of the poorest nations in the world with gross domestic product (GDP) per head of just over $500 - meanwhile faces a 47% tariff on the modest $733 million of exports of vanilla, metals and apparel that it did with the U.S. last year.
Trump's tariff formula confounds the world, punishes the poor - www.reuters.com/world/trumps...

We sent a soccer player/coach to a Salvadoran gulag. That’s who we are.
NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

So we are now a country that ships people with tattoos to Salvadoran gulags.
Some updates on our client:

@immdef.bsky.social went to his imm court hearing Monday and received confirmation from ICE that he has been “removed” to El Salvador. The Judge asked “how has he been removed if there is no removal order?” And the ICE attorney responded that they did not know.
Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

I don’t buy into the theory that Trump is trying to distract us with his flippant antics—he is not strategic. Both Trump and Musk thrive on the high of change, of movement. They hardly rest, for instance. We, the normal people, will eventually tire of this and long to live our lives in peace.

To Ukraine: I am sorry for what our President has done to you and President Zelensky. Please know that millions of Americans are embarrassed and humiliated by our own President’s behavior and that we see Zelensky as the only brave leader of a people in the Oval Office today.

Unbelievable! A firing squad.
DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

By mistake? Sure, Jan.

If Apple and Google think it’s okay to rename the Gulf of Mexico on Trump’s say-so, what if he want to change Google to Goggle, or Apple to Orange? Not so cute then.

I have heard a lot of people want to flee the United States to other countries under this new administration. Don’t! If African-Americans could withstand the horrors done to them and stay to fight for a better America, we can too! I look to Rosa Parks for courage, who would not leave her seat.

One reason why the MAGAs are winning is because everytime they bleat about an “injustice,” such as the Hunter Biden pardon, we liberals pause, scratch our chins, and wonder if they have a point. Ignore it!

So here’s the pattern: Trump picks a bat-shit crazy person for important position, the person is withdrawn from consideration, and Trump is praised for not being extreme. Next person will be extreme but not crazy.
