“Chinese and Russians and North Koreans and Iranians have entire floors of their intelligence agencies devoted to decrypting so-called “open-source” apps like Signal and WhatsApp on the off chance that Trump’s Cabinet appointees like Hegseth …would use them.”

Well, I just got off the phone with the office(s) of both senators and the representative who are all supposed to be representing us.
I always ask the aides who they are. One would not tell me where he was from, but they all agreed to “pass along my concerns.”
I’m going to continue calling them.

Time to phone your Senators to ask them to vote against the bill sent to them by the House that cedes “emergency” tariff authority to the executive branch. Better solution is to get a “clean” continuing resolution to keep the government open through April 11.

“Donald Trump is failing, and his numbers will collapse. Amidst market uncertainty as a result of Trump’s trade policies, 56 per cent of the public disapproves of his handling of the economy, worse than at any point during his first term in office.”

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings.

Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

So Elon needs our social security checks to prop up his exploding car business.

DOGE “seemed unsure” of what USAID programs they cut and is now attempting to reverse some of the cuts, says @propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy. “This is the opposite of a careful review."

So… how many of you thought you’d be spending your Retirement scared shitless about losing your #SS because you voted Republican?

As we are looking at the State of the Union, it is not ironic that we are also under a tornado watch. I hope we make it as a country.

Our stock market is crashing.

Our economy is contracting.

Our government is dismantling.

Our allies are fleeing.

Our grocery prices are rising.

But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."

So it all evens out.
