He can keep costs down by stiffing contractors. It has worked well for him in the past.

Deafening silence from some of the same folks who complained loudly about "respecting history" or "losing heritage" when a Confederate statue was taken down or a military base's name was changed while Trump is literally demolishing the East Wing of the White House.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Sen. Murkowski, feeling ‘cheated’ by Trump actions against wind and solar, says she’ll go to bat for Alaska projects
Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

I'm listening to Alaska News Nightly right now, coverage of Murkowski's vote on the oligarch support bill. It is clear that hers was the cheapest swing vote to buy off. Shame on her.

There will be a few steps in between, but you know what's coming. When we do go to the streets in mass protest, there will be troops sent to a blue city to round up protesters and ship them off quickly in waiting planes bound for El Salvadore - constitution and due process be damned.

Not sure which is more offensive: the pettiness or the narcissism
The Trump administration said on Friday that it had moved a portrait of former President Barack Obama in a White House hallway and replaced it with a painting of President Trump pumping his fist after the assassination attempt last year.

While the shuffling of artwork in the president’s residence drew criticism, that kind of rotation is common with the change of administrations.

The last time global markets tanked this hard, we were in the midst of a global pandemic.
