And so, what has changed? Anything? Is life better for the Palestinians in Gaza? Is Ukraine being helped out from under Russian aggression? Has anyone paid less for their groceries lately here in the U.S.? Where on beautiful earth can we escape world leaders and their corrupt political followers? 😊❤️

Hallelujah for Wisconsin. Let's keep hope that our country will beat the crap out of those who are destroying our democracy. I have re-registered as Independent and will remain so until and if the Democrats fight hard against the evil now in control of America.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor sounds the alarm about Donald Trump — says our nation's founders were "hellbent on ensuring that we don't have a monarchy" and we could "lose our democracy."
She really didn't hold back this time.

Where is our democratic leadership? Who are our strong leaders on that side of the aisle? Should we use a bullhorn that is at least as loud as the one used by MAGA? Republicans and Democrats alike are weak when it comes to standing up against Trump and Musk's policies and procedures.

It seems our Democratic party is good at condemning and reporting on how our government is crumbling but is not standing up and fighting hard against those forces destroying our country.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Gaza, Ukraine - China is happy. One day we won't have to worry about the cost of food because all we will have to eat will be rice.

Trump has joined Netanyahu in permanently forcing human beings to leave their homeland. The U.S. has blocked Ukraine from achieving independence by joining NATO. The pundits are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Just muddle along?

What can we do? Trump has joined Netanyahu in permanently forcing human beings to leave their homeland. The U.S. has blocked Ukraine from achieving independence by joining NATO; a win for Putin. The pundits are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Surreal. Just muddle along?

Among other reasons, censorship is bad because a lot of these terms are used multiple ways. “Confirmation bias” is the most common logical fallacy, for example - I’d like the folks at NSA to be particularly attuned to it.
2. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted.
This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:

Is it actually possibly that congress has been locked out of the Department of Treasury? Members of Congress are not being allowed in? I know I do not sit alone in the confusion and fear created by the current United States Government. It's time for Republicans obeying and fearing Trump to wake up.
