I was not previously aware that we had a system of government in which tax rates would fluctuate wildly from one day to the next depending on the president's desires.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

This is disgusting and shameful
The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country.

The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US.

He had a golf tournament to get to.
…U.S. soldiers were honored by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausada, as well as other dignitaries, during a dignified departure ceremony from Lithuania.

"We consider US soldiers in Lithuania as our own. The farewell ceremony once again demonstrated our society's solidarity, respect, and…

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

"Stop calling him a genius.

He didn’t found Tesla, he stole it. He didn’t design cars and trucks. Tesla engineers did.

Musk didn’t design the rockets at SpaceX, the engineer Tom Muller did.

Like Trump, Musk isn’t a genius businessman, he’s a parasite."

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

This is a really great idea.
I would organize a way for large swathes of people to contact their banks and credit card issuers, demanding to know what extra anti-fraud steps they are taking to protect them from fraud and identity theft given these reports of an "insider threat" at Treasury. 3/

Please Louisiana friends.
Sen. Bill Cassidy - a vaccine advocate and doctor - signaled that he's skeptical of RFK Jr.'s nomination. He also said that his office has received calls in support of RFK Jr.

I cannot stress this enough:

If you live in Louisiana, CALL CASSIDY'S OFFICE AND DEMAND THAT HE VOTE NO.

Jeff Bezos “could strengthen American journalism and democracy - and restore his reputation as one of the great newspaper owners - by becoming a nonowner.” This suggestion by @stevenwaldman.bsky.social of @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social deserves fresh consideration. www.cjr.org/opinion/wald...

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.
