The correct headline is: “Trump administration wanting to takeover Ukrainian nuclear plants is bat shit crazy and should never have been proposed.”

When the NYTimes starts reporting things accurately, I’ll renew my subscription.

Hey, sorry you lost your job and your 401K is getting wrecked.

Good news is Trump bought a Tesla on national TV from his biggest donor and the richest guy in the world.

Hope it helps.

I thought them business people like a healthy ROI…
Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. 

Again, this isn't about efficiency.
The US agency that monitors weather will cut another 1,000 jobs, AP sources say
Multiple sources tell The Associated Press that the Trump Administration is starting another round of job cuts — this one more than 1,000 — at the nation’s weather, ocean and fisheries agency.

Did Putin sign the cease fire agreement yet?

Because Trump said if he didn’t sign it right away he was going to really teach him a lesson.

Any updates from the Kremlin?

This is what we need to see in American media! But, what did the conga line ever do to this Australian newspaper to deserve to be lumped in with Trump’s sycophants?
Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator.

He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.
