Trump has hired over 100 fossil fuel insiders to staff his administration and advance the industry's agenda.
Is it any wonder why his Big Ugly Bill contains more than $40B in new subsidies and tax breaks for Big Oil?

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isn’t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.
