It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Which wealthy people will Trump threatened today so he can shake them down and reveal their cowardice as they desperately and greedily cling to their piece of the pie while sacrificing their principles, choosing surrender over a difficult fight? None of it will ever be forgotten.

Trump's plan to close the Dept of Education is illegal. Only Congress can do that.

But what's the plan here?

Trump knows his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?
