You may not *need* a political science degree to understand why having billionaires fund the US military is a bad idea, but I *do* have a political science degree and would like to underscore *how* bad of an idea it is.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Today - Excavator begons tearing down East Wing of the White House to start Trump's ballroom addition.
If there was ever a better picture to show the current state of the US presidency, I don’t know what it is. LITERALLY tearing down our heritage and history to put up some maralago type bullshit.

If Trump is allowed to murder civilians at sea, he is allowed to murder civilians in your streets. Charges need to be drawn up for his actions in the Caribbean and presented to a US court, military court, and international court. Everyone involved must also face charges.

Proud to know and have worked with Hamish, Dead End is a brilliant show about kind, wonderful characters and the vitriol that's coming out now from the usual bigoted suspects can get fucked really

The bad news is that the American republic which began in 1789 is now over.
The good news is that Trump is a very weak and stupid dictator—and the next republic could be much better than the last.

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook:
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
President Trump said he is firing Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, "effective immediately." It's his most direct assault yet on Fed independence -- and a step that it is far from clear he can legally take.
