This should set off alarms ⏰! Most of these people don’t deserve a second chance. Some go against major campaign promises. Trump doesn’t have a moral compass!

❤️ Love "the New York Times News Quiz." This week's quiz was more difficult than most. Only 36% of NY Times readers answered 8 out of 11 questions correctly.
Surprising that 11% answered this first question about Trump-MBS White House meeting correctly.
One question had 75% incorrect answers.

Trump and Noem each get two jets. Trump was scheduled to get a replacement for Air Force One commissioned years ago plus the Qatar jet that is to go to Trump's library when he leaves office.
My opinion: The library should get the current Air Force One. Sell the Qatar "gift" jet.

One reason for decreased income tax revenues is the steady decrease in the top marginal income tax rate.
The rate was steady at about 70% in 1960s when I was a child. Since 2003 it has been about half: 35%-39.6%. THERE HAS BEEN NO TRICKLE DOWN.

This is the most cringeworthy email that I have seen. Would really like to know if ANYONE responded seriously to this email purportedly from Donald J. Trump. The man is unhinged. [😂Robot and other unserious responses do not count.]

This is America’s grift by the rich. Taxes reduced starting with President Reagan. This results in the rich having more funds to purchase part of the national debt which is caused by the decrease in tax revenues. Interest payments on debt increase the need to issue more debt. The rich get richer.

Heard about "Who is Government? The Untold Story of Public Service" from President Obama's 2025 Summer Reads.
"The government is a vast . . . And it’s made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone."
