I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.
What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Retaliatory tariffs from both Mexico and Canada.
Trump says he’ll raise tariffs to 50% if they retaliate.
Naturally, they’ll retaliate again, and every day Americans (and Canadians) will pay for this crisis entirely of Trump’s making

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says
I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

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

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

America is going to learn very fast that the historic corruption of the incoming administration will kill people. American innocents will die because Trump and Musk and Thiel and Vance have designs on this country that have everything to do with their own enrichment and nothing to do with Americans.

Buckle up: we’re about to have the most incompetent DHHS, NIH, FDA and CDC ever—and a POTUS who doesn’t care if anyone outside his family lives or dies. You will have to take care of you and yours by paying close attention to what real (non-partisan) experts say and using harm-mitigation strategies.
Single bird flu mutation could let it latch easily to human cells, study finds
The potential mutation would allow the avian influenza virus sweeping through dairy herds to attach to a receptor protein on the surface of our cells.
