Yes, the "big beautiful bill" is embarrassing, sad, and cruel. But what else would you expect from trump and this Congress?

Happy Earth Day from St. George Island, Gulf of Mexico. Years ago, as an Explorer Scout in Menomonie, Wisconsin, I invited Gaylord Nelson, the father of Earth Day, to share his vision for a healthy Earth. He talked about growing up in Wisconsin and all he learned from his time in the woods.

The NYT offers a chart warning of a recession. The Russell 2000 index, comprised of mostly smaller companies with primarily domestic markets, has declined 18% since November. This index enters a bear market when it hits a 20% decline. Thank you, Donald, for making American business great again!

Stand with Ukraine rally in Madison, Wisconsin, last Saturday. It was great to see so many people turn out to support Ukrainians after the Trump/Vance debacle the day before.
