50% of workers can't afford healthcare.

People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

… and Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay out.

And people think moms getting SNAP are the problem.

Trump’s making it easier for polluters to profit from poisoning waterways like the Chesapeake Bay.

A healthy Bay is an economic & environmental lifeline for Maryland & clean waterways are vital to communities around the U.S.

But in Trump-world, his big money pals always come first.

The rule also removes protections for ephemeral streams (waterways that flow only after rain or snow) despite their importance to downstream water quality. In short, this proposal rolls back long-standing protections and leaves millions of acres of waterways more vulnerable to pollution.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

What an easy governing philosophy Republicans have. Just blame every problem on Biden, Democrats, and migrants. Then you never have to solve anything and can blame all your failures on other people. This is especially useful when you are grossly unqualified for your position.

The Neo-Nazi Groyper War to capture the Republican Party is a good example of "network war." A group existing mostly online ("in the cloud) takes power in the real world. When it becomes powerful enough to also take land, the victor of a network war can become a network state. That's the 101 theory.
In 2022, Peter Thiel protégé Balaji Srinivasan—formerly of Andreessen Horowitz and Coinbase—envisioned a Second American Civil War.

He predicted it would be triggered by Bitcoin.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

UVA had a 151 year long DEI program to insure adequate representation for the white male. By adequate, we mean 100% of all students. It has barely been 50 years since women and minorities have been admitted. I would say they are due 100 years more of preferable treatment.

Tapping into endowments cannibalizes the future for the past. If they blow their entire endowment plugging holes in their operating budget, then the next deficit kills the university.

That's why Trump and his folks are so focused on this in the first place.
