I’m an American who is hoping tariffed countries hold the line & don’t bend. The only way MAGA will turn is when it hurts them. I’m prepared to make that sacrifice for democracy.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

The Trump administration’s rebranded Schedule F policy aims to reclassify federal employees in policy roles as at-will, removing civil service protections. This will politicize agencies by allowing dismissals based on political alignment.

Took a stroll out in my garden to start pondering what I will need to grow this year. I feel the same frantic energy as 2020. My hens are starting to lay- keeping them locked up in an attempt to avoid bird flu.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

ACOSTA: Do you agree with Trump's decision to pardon violent people?
REP. BURCHETT: If they were truly violent, no. But I don't know that?

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
