Wow! Of course I’m not surprised, but I find it astounding that he does this out in the open and no one from his party in the house says a thing.

Trump team urged Ukraine to take U.S. deportees amid war, documents show Kiev should agree as long as the US builds it’s detention facilities /prisons in Crimea

Every conversation between a MAGA and a liberal…

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/b... You have to hand it to the Chinese. Not only are they playing the long game, but taking a wholistic approach. Everything trump is doing will make it harder for the US to compete. He is cutting our country.

Mexico’s Achilles’ Heel as It Faces Trump? Reliance on One U.S. Fuel www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w... The perfect opportunity for Mexico to develop and promote alternatives including nuclear.

Get the word out. Small numbers of people can make a big difference.

The problem with this FAFO moment is that the general population won’t even know. It may take years for that rescinded regulation affects them personally. www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol...

It takes years and generally billions of dollars to build fab plants. There are many ways to encourage manufacturing in the US. Tariffs are both painful and no guarantee of a desired result. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/b...

The thing about Europe: it’s the actual land of the free now economist.com/europe/2025/... from The Economist. So true. Glad that there’s still a bastion of freedom and decency.

We should be seeing a lot more signs like this. Instead of just tearing things apart, build.

apnews.com/article/trea... I’m interested to see where the capital is flowing. If there is a wholesale shift away from the US into other instruments denominated in other currencies, the reign of the US is fading.

Regardless of what you think is driving climate change, hobbling the agency that helps us deal with it is both short sighted and stupid.

A musical interlude. We need some more of this on this platform. It can’t be all doom and gloom.

It’s so sad that it’s come to this. Thank you ProPublica.

Here’s a great cause to get behind. Do some good Congress. Stop burning everything down and build something back up

It just the VA, but the Postal Service, Social Security and any other agency that the private sector can make money off of.

Peering through the fog.

There were protests from sea to shining sea. One would think that it would have been the most prominent article. Nope www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

Pinch myself moment. #MaineScapes

Quiet afternoon #MaineScapes

Great idea!

Every American should be alarmed at even the suggestion of a presidential 3rd term. This applies to all occupants of the Oval Office no matter what the party affiliation. Folks, we can't let the American experiment end in failure. We need to continue being that "shining city on the hill".

30 Seconds of peace. #MaineScapes

WilmerHale is not bending the knee. They earned even more respect from me. Too bad so many other caved.

This should come as a surprise to absolutely no one.

What is happening in the US threatens all of us not just immigrants and visitors. Every person deserves divinities treatment and due process.

There are two seats in Florida that, if flipped, will change the balance of power in the house. Please support Josh. It doesn’t matter if you don’t live in FL. He needs the support of all of us to save our social safety net for ALL Americans.

It should be “both Democrats and Republicans”. What a shame that the republicans have abdicated their oversight responsibilities.

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1 million to 1 that Mike Johnson does nothing. Shameful.

A look into the chat thread. Telling.

nurse.org/news/canada-... Not that I want a brain drain in the US, but we have to look out for the wellbeing of our healthcare providers. Maybe this will be the shot across the bow that wakes the republicans up.

Here’s a chance to save our social safety net by flipping control in the House.

Urgent! Please pay attention to this post. We have a chance to turn this around and save our social safety net.

Let the memory failures begin. I mean it happened a few days ago. That’s a long time in today’s political cycles.

A little morning beauty. #mainescapes

Time for Congress to proved their relevance and not only open an investigation into Signalgate, but take swift action against those who committed this very serious breach of national security.

A shambolic leak reveals Team Trump’s contempt for allies economist.com/united-state... From the Economist Signalgate had better get the attention of Congress. This is their opportunity to prove their relevance.

youtu.be/yri7mhxTZrg @katmabu.bsky.social is running for Congress. Strongly consider supporting her. We need strong, informed, intelligent fighters in office.

www.npr.org/2025/03/23/n... Do your part. We can’t allow history to be lost.

Worth watching.

This is what a good leader looks like. Take note.

When mobsters rule, this is what you get.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... Senator Murphy sums it up. What is astounding is that Republicans in Congress have abdicated their oversight of the executive branch and governance of the country to Elon Musk. Do you have a problem with this? I do.

Don’t count on the courts to save democracy We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis. What to do? Find local and special elections that matter. Get behind them. Vote with your pocketbook. Keep talking. The courts are not going to save us. They have no power of enforcement

www.wired.com/story/trump-... The big grift. What’s truly astounding is that people, rich people willingly line his pockets.

Trump tariffs could add more than $9,000 to new home costs, builders say - CBS News Building new homes is not cost effective anymore. It’s stunning how much less you get for your money with new construction.

Time for folks to make their voices heard and presence known.

We could use some more 60’s and 79’s caliber musicians with a revolutionary sprit to inspire the nation with song and motivate the masses to take action.

I will say this again and again. We are in a constitutional crisis. The executive branch is disregarding the courts. There is no rule of law anymore. Further, Congress has abdicated its role in governance and oversight.
