As this admin defunds research,there doesn’t seem to be a slow down on security. Wouldn’t it be great if we could put the security funding, metal detectors, security guards, at hospitals/schools to help patients and students? But alas, the white man’s dream of being Wild Bill Hickok must survive.

Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.

When I took the history reporter job, I told my editor I would never "both sides" the Civil War, Confederates or slavery. I never did.

“Made in America”
American-owned businesses that manufacture here are still getting crushed because packaging and supplies come from China. If their shipment sits at the port, they’re bleeding storage fees they can’t afford.
Trump is pricing small businesses out of existence.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
