For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.

How are we supposed to trust the FBI & DOJ after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate & politicize them? That question was brought into sharp focus by the arrest earlier this week of Brian Cole, Jr., on bomb planting charges. joycevance.substack.com/p/charges-in...
Charges in the RNC/DNC Bomb Planting Case
Can we trust the FBI and this Justice Department after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate and politicize those previously independent agencies?

For the first time in seemingly decades, there’s a mass exodus of senior leaders at Apple. Rumors are now that Johny Srouji, who leads in-house chips, has stated he wants to leave Apple for another company.
All this and rumors that Tim Cook may retire next year.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

Trump could summarize his new "National" Security Strategy in a few sentences:
I am a loser.
I am cruel & mean.
I oppose democracy, freedom & civilization.
I hate Europe.
I have nothing against Russia & other dictatorships.
I understand nothing of foreign policy.

We’ve heard concerns from people across Oregon about unlawful and reckless actions by federal officers operating in Oregon – and that’s why, last week, we sent a letter demanding that this end. No one is above the law.

One advantage with Trump's anti-European "National" Security Strategy is that it clarifies to all Europeans that Trump hates Europe.
Thus, Europe should stop listening to this hateful & self-enriching man & seize all Russian state assets in Europe asp & pass on to Ukraine!

One of the essential projects of humanity is building a world in which appropriate resources and energy are directed toward a million crucial problems so the rest of us can go to bed knowing they're being handled.
The collapse of that project specifically is perhaps the great tragedy of our age.

Even as a Millennial TurboLiberal for whom this website is made I have to admit I get pretty tired of reading about one trillion problems I neither understand nor can solve. "THOUSANDS of octopi are dying off the coast of Madagascar" alright I'm not in charge of that. That's not my job.

Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a boon for big corporations.
His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.
