Meet our billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

We are reversing decades of unbroken foreign policy to curry favor with a murderous dictator and siding against our allies. All this, while an oligarch wreaks havoc on our government and we tariff our allies into adversaries. I do hope we can all afford those eggs though…

That was the most disgusting display by any US president this side of WWII. If you can’t see how terrible the ramifications of this will be, you have no conception of world history.

The administration is painting people in far different situations with an overly broad brush. This haziness and controversy is captured in the story of one detainee now in Guantánamo: Mayfreed Durán-Arape.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”
Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Seriously, they are doing this. And it sounds like the Trump administration supports it.

Veterans deserve the best health care available. At a time when the VA is already understaffed, these layoffs will hurt veterans. Unacceptable.
Trump must not cut VA health care so that he can give tax breaks to Musk and other billionaires.
The VA must rescind this order.

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why.
How has Trump responded?
By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.

“All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
…the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.” W. H. Auden

It's heartening that today the leaders of the two major parties in Germany are unequivocally anti-Nazi and anti-fascist.
It's horrifying that today the president and vice-president of the United States of America are not.
