If the US government had to pay for medical care of its citizens, it might care more about climate change impacts, air and water pollution, gun violence, traffic crashes, the food we eat, etc. It’s past time for single payer healthcare.

If Barack Obama had appeared in a photo like this, Republicans would have impeached him and then someone would have assassinated him.

Chuck Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Eventually the wheel of karma will turn again in the favor of sensible people, but God, am I tired of waiting.

This is nuts. But it’s effective fascist propaganda.
Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.

Holy shit.
“USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down.
Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.”
Follow the money.

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.
