FDR spent his first 100 days passing 15 landmark bills. Trump has a slavish GOP majority in both houses of Congress, but has been spending his time releasing memos called "executive orders," and trying to circumvent the constitutional authority of Congress.

I really thought Trump was the biggest crybaby involved in politics. But Elon is making a run at the title.

#BlueSkyVets As if Helsinki wasn’t proof enough, relinquishing the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) position would be the clearest sign Trump is a Traitor.
Doing so would represent a seismic shift in NATO's power dynamics, far beyond personnel changes.

Pfc. Ira Hamilton Hayes helped raise the flag on Iwo Jima. He survived the war, but died tragically from PTSD at 33.
Now, the Marine Corps has erased his memory along with other Navajo Code Talkers as part of Trump’s purge of materials deemed DEI.

Does Canada have nukes? If not could someone loan them some?
Trump: "Canada doesn't pay for military. They give us nothing. And they are the worst people to negotiate with of everybody ... they cheat."

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine.
Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Lost in some of the outrage over this is that Trump's pick is LITERALLY unqualified. The law says a Chairman has to have been a vice chair, a service chief or held a combatant command. Caine hasn't done any of those and I don't think he was even the senior service general at a combatant command.
