I do not understand Trump wanting to make an iron dome when the most likely threat to Americans are gun wielding criminals in our American cities.

Trump says that Iron Dome construction will be 'immediate,' signs executive order www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

I don’t understand how Trump wants to deport immigrants, but at the same time he wants to create immigrants for Egypt and Jordan by removing Palestinians from their homes. I doubt he would want refugees to come to the USA, so what makes him think Egypt or Jordan can support over a million refugees.

“I am trying to figure out when it isn’t ok for the government to dictate what you do in the privacy of your own home, apparently it is when the laws regulate men,” writes Senator Bradford Blackmon.

Due to Trump’s federal hiring freeze, Veteran’s (VA) hospital can’t hire more staff including nurses. Veterans already have to wait months for an appointment. Now they will wait even longer. #fafo #trump #hiringfreeze

New executive orders make me concerned about employment discrimination, but I also know of a case against a local company because of alleged age discrimination because he was a 42 year old white male when the reality is that he was just incompetent. Stupid lawsuits just drive up consumer pricing.

Elle in Legally Blonde argued that any emissions could be considered reckless abandonment after all! Seriously though, we should be thinking about how men play a role in procreation; it isn’t just women. www.wlbt.com/2025/01/22/m...

Will it be even more difficult than it is now to talk to someone at the IRS if you need to because of Trump’s hiring freeze? Is he sure we won’t need more federal correction officers? Will we need federal workers at FEMA because of the LA fires or the NC hurricane situation?

I keep telling myself I’m just going to avoid the news for four years and watch videos of people with their cats and baking bread. Then I run across a political video, get another medical bill, and get mad again.

What if Shou Chew is just playing Trump? All those at the top have to play chess. All I’m saying is that whatever is going on with social media is unknown to the general public. The best thing we can do is make sure Meta, X, YT, and TikTok continue to have competition. Competition drives innovation.

The theatrics of TikTok has created distrust of the app. We begged for it back, but will it ever be the same again?

The inauguration is being held indoors because Trump is scared of violence. The weather has nothing to do with it. Just maybe he doesn’t want his crowd size compared to Obama’s again, but I think he’s scared. Or they are scared.

This amendment would make it more expensive to hire foreign workers. Now how will Republicans argue against keeping our best jobs for Americans? www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releas...
