I’m sure everyone is familiar with the “trolley problem”.
Do you pull a switch to save lots of people while killing a single person? Is it moral to kill 1 to save many?
Now the Republicans have shown us their answer -
They will pull the switch to kill hundreds of thousands for 1 Big Tax Break.

Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Kegsbreath should be in prison. Kristy PuppyKiller Noem should be in jail. Etc etc etc
My line in the sand is full truth and reconciliation. Any Democrat who tries to sweep all this under the rug is dead to me. I want Dems that will prosecute these criminals.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Venezuela has more crude oil than Saudi Arabia.
Remember when Trump met with the oil executives and promised them anything for their support ?

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

I don’t know whether it’s more embarrassing or infuriating to watch Trump speak with reporters. The complete disrespect and contempt he displays towards people just doing their job is shameful.
I also find it insulting how the only people he seems to enjoy being around are murderous autocrats.

This was a shameful day.
President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.
He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.
Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
He was revered.

This morning I was reading a book to a Headstart class about family.
When I said Aunt a little boy looked confused, I said it several different ways, Aunt, Ant, Auntie, and he didn’t recognize the word. I finally asked, “What do you call your mother’s sister?”
He looked at me and said Deloris.
