Yet again, it’s time to bring up a very important episode of @ricksteves.bsky.social . It’s very much worth your time to check it out and pay attention to how eerily similar it is to our current state of affairs.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

This entire story is made up. It's straight Russian propaganda with zero basis in reality.
Trump repeats the blatant lie today that Russia has a Ukrainian army surrounded in Kursk, but claims he is going to save them when he talks to Putin tomorrow. Trump will be the hero of Putin’s made-up story.

When you take a step back, it’s genuinely stunning how far any of this is from anything Trump campaigned on. It aligns perfectly w Project 2025 of course, but in terms of Trump’s public rhetoric, this was totally absent.
Will be interesting to see how a state that shreds its own capacity to collect taxes can sustain global power status

There they go again, ripping away your health care in order to enrich MAGA Republican donors. Trump and Musk are DOUBLING DOWN with a scheme to add $4 TRILLION to the national debt — and GUT MEDICAID that 72 million Americans need — to give even bigger tax cuts to billionaires.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
