Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

We should stop trying to make sense of the nonsense Trump spews & simply ask:
How can the US take care of a clearly mentally ill president? 25th Amendment? Impeachment?
Does the US have any functioning & responsible institutions? It should be the Congress.

If the GOP is good at one thing, it’s failing to provide health care
The White House released what the Trump administration called a “Great Healthcare Plan” on Thursday. But less than 24 hours later, President Donald Trump failed to answer basic questions about it.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
