Widespread protests/demonstrations/rallies/marches around the country, no matter size or cause(s), are obviously newsworthy. And especially on a weekend, when news slows down.

But you'd never know it by tuning in to Fox News Channel. This is one news item it's decided not to cover.

I remember seeing public service announcements on TV in the 1960s geared to illegal aliens. They were told to go to a post office, pick up a form, and "register." The ads were very low-key and not threatening. It's sick that Trump & Co. are dealing with immigration so hatefully.

Trump and his worshippers in the House are a special kind of sadistic to call the proposed budget - causing millions to lose their health insurance - a "Big Beautiful Bill." And what about Trump's vow not to cut Medicare or Medicaid? Oh, he was lying. What a surprise!

So Trump & Co. snatched a law-abiding man in Maryland and sent him to a prison in El Salvador. Just like that. Now they've admitted it was a mistake and due to "administrative error."

The conclusion: Having these people in charge of the government is an administrative error.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather

Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses

Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments

Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA...

The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

@davidlaz.bsky.social Regarding DOGE's effort to shut down dozens of SSA offices nationwide: Other than maybe how to spell Social Security, Trump, Musk & Co. don't know anything about it. They're f-ing with it for one reason only: They think people are getting "free money" and they want to stop it.

At her briefing today, Karoline Leavitt, Trump's unctous press secretary, got in that Biden is "cognitively impaired."' Is that a doctor's diagnosis - or yet another smart-ass comment by the insufferable Ms. L? I bet the latter.

I figured it would take Trump about a year to crash the economy. Silly me: He'll do it much faster than that.

Are Trump and
musk gonna try to kill Social Security by lying and claiming it's riddled with fraud? Sorry, but it won't work -- because it isn't riddled with fraud.

Trump is gonna crash the economy, isn't he? How long will it take, a year? Less? As Catherine Rampell astutely pointed out on CNN recently, all he needed to do was play golf and not go f---ing with things. But f---ing with things is "how he rolls." Bad for us.

@davidlaz.bsky.social David, have you bid adieu to X?
If so, can't say that I blame you. It's a s---show over there!
