Unsurprisingly, the guy who famously can't leave his damned glasses on can't read the fucking room.
Inflation is the number one issue on people’s minds.
It was the biggest issue during the election.
And already Donald Trump is breaking his promise to do something about it.

This is probably the most succinct explanation, the very distilled essence, of why I've completely run out of any tolerance for this shit.
The emperor is running through the streets, screaming to all who will listen that he wears no clothes, yet the people swear by his verdant robes.

I’m so sick of people who say lighten up and stop taking what he says seriously. This man holds the most powerful office in the world, and what he says bespeaks the soul of a tyrant.

"It'll all work out, you'll see," is a sentiment popular in the US only due to our privilege relative to many other parts of the world (and history).
Even within the US (now, but certainly historically), that sentiment is not so believable among vulnerable populations.

Honest question, since I can't be bothered to normally follow NYC politics: what is the opinion of Adams (now) among his constituents?

When the richest man in the world is suddenly given significant control over nearly all executive agencies in the world's largest economy, yeah I'm sure his primary motivation is to *cut wasteful spending*.
Sorry, you have to be really gullible or willfully blind to believe that.

Dude. We know all of this. We already have news outlets and commentators. We can also likely infer your opinion of the matter. The only information we need to hear from *you* and others in your privileged offices is *what you intend to do* about it.

This isn't a tech startup
These are public institutions that deal with Social Security, Medicare, national defense, & provide for the well-being of the American people
The people have a right to be part of that debate

If I worked at a newspaper, I’d ask why we have to keep coming up with novel phrases like “mass detention camp” to describe Trump’s plans instead of using a more familiar term.
Trump outlines plan for mass detention camp at the Guantanamo Bay navy base with capacity for 30,000 deportees www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/... with @danlamothe.bsky.social

I've had stress headaches almost every day since last Monday, even though I know (~*all of this*~) will have a far smaller negative impact on me than it will millions of others.
It's completely wasted stress, too. Not like I'm doing anything constructive with it.

How the HECK is it not a nationwide scandal that Trump told federal law enforcement to divert resources away from drug trafficking and terrorism cases to instead prioritize prosecuting undocumented immigrants for living here?
They screamed about fentanyl and then did this!
