The code talkers signed up to create an unbreakable code for the allies in fighting fascists in Europe.

To even ask Native Americans this question, is a disgusting slap in the face.

This administration is completely deranged for even proposing this to the tribes.
ICE looks to WA tribes to house detained immigrants
The Nisqually Tribal Council said it was not aware of talks between a staffer and ICE about detaining immigrants. It has now rejected that notion.

Trump logic.
- We are enormously in debt.
- Tariffs will pay off the debt soon.
- We will wipe out the tariff benefits with Dividend checks
- You're a fool if you don't like tariffs

Points 2 & 3 don't work together.
Also, he just ruined his arguments in the supreme court that tariffs aren't taxes.

The reports about the Epstein files being way worse for Trump than we know, by leaks from the DOJ, must be absolutely true.

If Trump is trying to distract us with 50 year mortgages, and dividend checks, and paying us instead of health insurance companies, it's got to be REALLY bad.

Trump Publishes Enemies List To White House Website, And It’s Just Democrats Speaking The Truth

Trump Publishes Enemies List To White House Website, And It’s Just Democrats Speaking The Truth
God, what I wouldn't give for another Nixon administration. Sure, it was corrupt and built from the ground up to punish the opposing party for being the opposing party. But that administration was limited and restrained by things like competent oversight, a functioning court system that wasn't constantly undermined by five justices who want to do all of their work…

It's my birthday today, and this was NOT the gift that I wanted.....a Project 2025 launch date.

This is more just straight up lying, "I have nothing to do with it"....You cannot deny that he lied to get votes now.

Emergency room care, is not healthcare.

It's essentially triage.

The shutdown was never about that.

Republicans are just straight up lying, and not even that well.

You can't tariff IP.

He tried to state he would do this 6 months ago. Nothing has changed.

This is a digital sales tax, which he can't implement, as taxes can only be raised by Congress.

This is just stupid delusions. It isn't happening, because it literally can't.

This needs to be the biggest story in the country right now. There will be records of all of this in the FBI, and if they can't or won't produce them, the coverup should take EVERYONE down.

I think today, we all owe Mr Robinson and the Bishop of his ward in Utah a big thank you.

They may have saved this nation today. Not hyperbole.

We were on a path to rip ourselves apart. It was probably the hardest decision of their lives. It will affect the family forever.

UC San Diego scientist Uri Manor received a 5-year federal grant in 2023 to study hearing loss. After using $1.5M over two years, his funding was terminated this spring in DEI crackdown. He's now laying off trainees.

Did you know, that the prison system in the US is about to be empty?

And guess what, it has NOTHING to do with deportations.

It's because kids just don't like doing crime like the good ole days.

Violent crime has been falling since the 90's. The population in jail is now nursing home age.

Long sentences and recidivism kept prison populations high for decades, but prisons are now starting to empty.

The biggest part of the communique at the summit.

"The communiqué itself watered down its language on Russia to placate Mr Trump. Russia appeared 43 times in the document released at last year’s Washington summit. This year it appears once."

He's a Russian asset.

My substack musings on the value creation of services jobs vs the manufacturing jobs that this administration so desperately wants to bring back.

Spoiler alert.....they're wrong.
Is a manufacturing boom really worth it?
Shifting our jobs market is not a good idea, and data proves the Trump Administration is playing a dangerous game.

Trump just directly threatened Spain with "double tariffs" to a reporter from Spain in the Hague.

He said "they're terrible.....no I mean that. What they're doing is terrible, and we're going to make them pay double"

Here we go again with trade war escalations.

New substack. As a bluesky user, you probably already know that your voice is important, but this is a good reminder that while it may SEEM uncomfortable at first, letting your voice be heard is the right thing to do.
I am going to need you to speak up
We are in a time when your perspective may be the voice that is needed in this turbulent world, and it's OK and necessary to say something
