So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.
This is madness.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Agreed. But let’s refuse to get “used to it.” It is absolutely insane, it’s wrong, it’s un-American, and let’s always be righteously pissed off about it.👇
I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

How Trump Can Get Even Richer by Crashing the Economy:
Trump thrives on crisis. A struggling economy scares voters...fuels MAGA rage...and sends his fundraising through the roof. Fear = cash.
Recessions crush property values. Trump’s empire is built on debt and deals.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

$10 billion. Every hurricane season.
The **entirety** of NOAA requested $6.6 billion in FY25. Or 66% of those estimated costs of hurricanes (thus excluding their efforts to also monitor/warn/research flash floods or droughts or wildfires or severe weather or fisheries or tsunamis or solar flares).

According Dr. Robert Atlas, the elimination of NOAA's AOML as proposed in their 2026 budget would result in a 20-40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, costing the economy an estimated $10 billion each hurricane season. Sobering numbers on what's at stake.

Phang: Holy crap. Think about that. Oh—did I just say “holy”? Well, it fits…
So, the church keeps its tax-exempt status while actively engaging in politics. Of course, this becomes a way to funnel money and circumvent campaign finance laws. Think about that.
