Human rights as a value
The service for Jimmy Carter was short, less than two hours long, but there were a few words that kept coming up, again and again: Honesty. Integrity. Faith. Love. The bipartisan praise for the former President put a scowl on Donald Trump’s face.

You know, certainly appears that either Trump does not understand that it is US paying the tariff or he just so used to lying about it
Trump Says U.S. Will Impose Massive Tariffs On Mexico, Canada And China From Day 1
The tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada will apply to "ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders," the president-elect wrote.

Trump’s pick to oversee the program is a hype man for private-sector competition.

Yea. He is all Medicare Advantage plans.

There's not a single comms expert on Earth who fails to understand that this is an attempt to spread disinformation.

When Elon found out that much of what I used to teach at University of New Hampshire fell into the ambit of comms, he called my work "bullshit."

But all he does, all day, is comms.

How can we re phase things to make them more relatable. "We believe that government should serve everyone!" How is that?

Just so you know, Americans have argued about the things I cover since before they were called Americans. Here's an eye-opening excerpt I edited from Pulitzer-winning historian Joseph Ellis, about a long debate (by mail) between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
This founding father's fears about America's future feel pretty darn prescient today
Wealth "will accumulate," John Adams warned Thomas Jefferson. "The Snow ball will grow as it rolls.”

Here we go again. With every Republican administration. This one may actually try a bit harder . No one wants this .
MTG wants to control your access to information. Fight back by being well informed. Develop trusted sources of information. Do not let them keep you in the dark about what they are doing-that is the hope of dictators.

I am exhausted from the past few weeks with all crazy cabinet picks and he is not even president yet!

You know he was in a big ass rush. I guess Musk wants to

Now who exactly will get sworn in January??

Is it just me or does it appear that Trump skipped all the inauguration and is just “assuming power”. All this candidates are all either his wealthy friends, from Fox News or from Project 2025.

Gee what will December bring? Measuring the drapes in the ovsl office?

President-elect Trump has picked a leading figure in Project 2025 to head the Office of Management and Budget. The would-be nominee, Russell Vought, has spent the last four years making plans to rework the American government to enhance presidential power. nyti.ms/4fWGE9p
