Newsom: Noem was condemning the Biden administration since there was a chance her National Guard might be federalized. She condemned it, and Hannity shook his head in disgust at the so-called incompetence of the Biden administration.
That incompetence—and hypocrisy—is on full display right now.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.
The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

This is the root of the problem right here. Enough with STUFF that will "make you happy!" THINGS don't make us happy. And, we sure as hell don't need more crap cluttering up our world.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

So HHS just fired 10,000 employees. Again, where are all these fired federal employees going to find jobs, especially since most have specialized skills, and companies are scaling back on hiring because of the economy! It is maddening, to say the least!

It's so hard to feel good about anything when we are losing our democracy and all the savings I've built up over the past 40 years so I could retire well are deteriorating before my very eyes. You voted for trump and continue to be enamored of him? Don't talk to me ever again.
