I cannot take all this bad news. All the things going on, it's just too much. I don't know what to say or do anymore. I'm lost.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have made our farmers and families collateral damage in an idiotic trade war.

They're taking money out of their pockets and food out of their mouths — and for what?

I'm with the hard-working folks at Sola Gratia to hear how we can support them.

I’m at the Center for American Progress event featuring Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and this sure does sound like a fighter who’s fully prepared to step up and lead. For the first time in weeks, I feel better about the future of the country.

It’s not like anybody needs me to say this, but federal District Court judges sure do seem to have more guts than every single GOP member of Congress, don’t they?

My brain literally cannot comprehend all of the bad stuff that just happened today so instead: scholastic book fair now has online wallets that you can use for your kiddos at the book fair- but also, you can donate to “share the fair” so others w/o can get books.

I thought, go into 2025 with a good attitude, in spite of Agent Orange, I'll figure it out but I won't let that person or his band of criminals keep me in a bad mood, upset, cause more anxiety attacks than I already have, etc.

Then I realize I'm living with the real problem and I have no way out.

A white woman worked for nearly 20 years to clear 3 Black men lynched over a century ago in Culpeper, VA. All 3 have been declared innocent, and their horrific killings by vigilantes are now public record. "It was a long time coming, but justice is done," one descendant said. 🎁

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us."

Here's the problem: Instead of one idiot, we have two.

Two idiots on the world stage, wreaking havoc at home and abroad. And people all over the world looking at us like we're a bunch of nitwits for doing this not once, but TWICE.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we were nuked.
