I am amazed at the restraint shown by 7 million protesters. The fact that nothing close to violence has been reported at 2500 rallies is phenomenal. But let’s give credit to the restraint shown by those on the right as well. Where were the counter protesters?

Michael Johnson argues that the Democrats have been unreasonable in their negotiations. I might have been convinced, but wait, Republicans wrote the bill, passed the bill and now refuse to make any concessions.

I was a Republican for many years before MAGA, but if I were a NC Democratic voter today, I would organize into groups, invade the GOP primaries and vote for Tillis even if I had to do it as a write-in. Crazy, maybe, but the message to Trump is we know how to influence GOP primaries too.

Expect a drop in GDP this month. Projected economic growth for 2025 is 1.4% compared to 2.8% in 2024. Compare these numbers to 8.7% in 1950, before "Trickle-down economics" was invented. Income above $200,000 was taxed at 91% and the middle class flourished.

@andreaflores.bsky.social - If there were an organization called NICE (Not Immigration and Custome Enforcement) and volunteers wore slip-over vests with NICE placards; how would you use these NICE agents? I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear from some with experience on the ground. Thanks

In every one of my 80 years, politicians have claimed to reduce Federal taxes. Since 1950 they have reduced taxes on average Americans from 6.4% (on $3,300 income) to 13.3% (on $61,984 income). And yet we continue to believe them?

NICE (Not Immigration and Customs Enforcement) vest ID placards to be worn while escorting immigrants from Courthouses after reporting for mandatory hearings in groups of 20 or so. No physical confrontations.

Let's have a NICE RAID (Not Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Your mission is to prevent vandalism or other activity that would give ICE an excuse to break up peaceful protests, to document ICE activities and to ID ICE officers.

In the first quarter the stock market in China grew by 3.1%. The European stock market grew by 5.2%. The US stock market fell by 4%. It fell by another 4% today alone. So tell me what’s the incentive for companies to invest in factories in the US and how will tariffs make this happen?

CoPilot has its limits.

Me: who says we should "retire all government employees" RAGE?

CP: Sorry, I cannot chat about this. Would you like to talk about something else?

Me: why can't you chat about this?

CP: I have certain guidelines to ensure our conversations are safe and respectful....

Jack Smith’s report may tell us why Trump took classified documents. Here’s what I thought 2 years ago. Was I right or wrong. medium.com/@michaelwayn...

Verified by Copilot: The claim that Big Oil has spent over $1 billion on lobbying Congress over the last 30 years to influence climate action is supported by various sources.
$1,131,794,901

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

In a well-rehearsed performance, Trump leans forward and tells the interviewer "They invaded my home, Maralqgo," His sad look belies the fact that this was all he needed to win the sympathy vote #PoorLittleDonny

#CommonGround No one on either side seems interested in finding it, just the way Trump planned it.

#CommonGround I'm calling on influential moderates on both sides to get together and find common ground. Arguing with my brother, a Trump supporter, has been frustrating, until I realized how much we agree on. I guess we are both single issue voters.

Apparently 21% of Non-Trump voters favor while 79% oppose.
They have no idea that tariffs will make everything more expensive

#Polarization is not entirely our fault. Elections really are rigged, just not how you think. You see, our Plurality voting method favors extremists. The answer is #OpenPrimaries, open to all voters regardless of party affiliation, but this video shows why choosing the right voting method is vital.
