There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

Here's a suggestion: ban congressional stock trading so we never have to wonder whether members of Congress are using inside information to benefit themselves ever again!
Exclusive: Senator's stock trade raises 'conflict of interest' concerns
Oklahoma Republican Markwayne Mullin bought stock in Stride, an online school provider, while sitting on Senate education committee.

Can’t wait for the people who spent months defending Trump’s decision to pardon multiple family members, a war criminal, and tons of rich people who grifted the American people suddenly become enraged at the President pardoning his son.

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms.
More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.

Here in Florida we have a housing crisis of our own - developers are building affordable homes all around, but many are sitting empty because people can't afford the necessary home insurance.

Wow. I’m looking at the actual pardon as an attorney and it’s SWEEPING.
Not only does it pardon Hunter for crimes he was charged with, but any crimes he MAY have committed over the last 11 years.
This is a father protecting his son from Donald Trump.

If we want to do this, people who believe in democracy need to start gearing up to run for school boards across the country ASAP.
When we survive this dark chapter and there are sane people back in charge, can we agree that education and specifically civics education to ensure an informed, educated citizenry will be a high priority?

Have I had my mind changed on social media? Yes - NOT by arguing with randoms, but by following experts and first hand folks who share what they do, what they think and what's going on. The change isn't binary - I used to think one thing, and suddenly now another - it's slow and additive: Learning.
