Curiously, my YouTube music app jumped from Meidas Touch into Joe Rogan, when it normally stops after the current podcast. I'm not subscribed to Rogan and haven't listened to him since the mid 2010s. Shit is just so blatant now.

Trump has jumped back
into bed with Putin

Abandoned Ukraine

Started a Trade War with Canada, Mexico & China

And fantasizes about building a Trump resort in Gaza

Meanwhile, prices are rising, the market is falling, people are losing their jobs, heath care is at risk & national parks will close

When schools are run like businesses, our kids become commodities. We can't let profit-driven interests dictate the future of our children's education.

I get why President Zelenskyy is giving in on the minerals deal, but I'm just so disappointed that someone is giving that orange fuck what he wants. Hopefully we can get rid of him before Ukraine ever has to make good on the deal.

I’ve met with President Zelenskyy and members of his government. They are strong, honorable allies.

Minnesota stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight to defend freedom and democracy.

Trump attacks Zelenskyy as a ‘dictator without elections’ who duped US
The president’s remarkable attack on the Ukrainian president is sure to deeply worry international allies and domestic supporters of an American-led global order.

"Trump did not run on a promise to unleash an unelected billionaire to slash-and-burn through the government, firing tens of thousands of employees and arbitrarily canceling contracts and federal programs. And *even if he had*, that still wouldn’t make it legal." -- @lizdye.bsky.social
Unelected billionaire breaks laws to "restore" democracy
This is NOT what democracy looks like.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

You know what happened

Wall Street created huge problems. America bailed them out. The rich got richer. Very few paid a price.

And the little guy got screwed

Until Obama created the CFPB

Now Trump wants to let them do it

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data.

They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers…

Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.
