“Golden age,” my ass! This is the age of insanity, & there ain’t nothing golden about it! It’s a dark, cavernous abyss with sharp twists & turns tossing you about like a ragdoll into the hell that is the grotesquely perverse, distorted, warped & damaged mind of a dangerous Narcissistic Psychopath.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink.

While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief.

We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”

One look at Steve Witkoff’s portfolio and itinerary makes it clear: a shadow trilateral is forming between Trump, Putin, and the Emir of Qatar.

The goal is to isolate Europe, rehabilitate Putin, and use Qatari wealth to fill Trump’s pockets.

Today the administration is also firing IT people across government, in particular at the Treasury. What could go wrong??? All in addition to the DOGE firings.

We are not just failing at cyber preparedness, but also psychological warfare and biological attack. Things are real grim at the CDC, etc.

If James visits the home regularly then it is available to her for personal use, which means it is not a “rental investment property” as defined by the mortgage rider…and therefore negates the central claim of the indictment

NYT reports that Letitia James’s great niece lives in the home that is the subject of the indictment.

The niece reportedly testified before a *different* grand jury, telling them that she had lived there for many years without paying rent. James visits regularly.

But in June, IMs. Thompson testified to a grand
jury in Norfolk that she had lived in the house for years and that she did not pay rent, a person familiar with her testimony said. She was not asked to testify again, and the grand jury that voted to indict Ms. James was not seated in Norfolk, but in Alexandria.
The specter of Mr. Trump's revenge campaign has so far overshadowed the facts of the case, given how he has pushed for Ms. James's punishment. For years, he has railed against her on social media, calling her a "crook" and
"corrunt" Last month. he also appointed Ms.

Thompson in mind would come for an extended stay.
This week, with the filing of court papers some 200 miles north, the plan came to an abrupt end.
The great-aunt - Letitia James, the New York attorney general - was indicted by President Trump's Justice Department. The yellow house,
