If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

Can't read Bluesky tonight. There's a Vicente Fernandez concert on PBS. See you tomorrow...

Happy 250th! Still No Kings!

2020 issue: COVID cases. To see fewer COVID positive results, "slow down the testing". 2026 issue: Trump corruption. To see less corruption, don't audit the taxes of anyone in the Trump crime syndicate. This is how the felon in chief "solves" problems.

Since I wasn't at Davos, can someone tell me if Trump walked out to the podium without assistance and walked off the stage after the speech without assistance? It looks like he was gripping the stand and leaning on it while speaking to help him stand up.

Just curious. At the $1,000,000 per plate dinner at Mar-A-Lago this Friday, will the menu be All-American? Or will the cooks use exotic imported foreign foods? Can public officials put the dinner on their expense accounts? What about flights and hotels and limos? Please set good examples for us.

Before the tariffs went into effect I stocked up on instant coffee. Why didn't I stock up on olive oil too? Have you seen those prices now?

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Today on Politico Article Headline -- White House urged Gov. Cox to preach nonviolence after Kirk shooting Article Headline -- Trump says 'we have to beat the hell' out of 'radical left lunatics' after Kirk killing It appears that Trump is a 'radical right instigator'.

I have heard nothing about the return of stolen Ukrainian children to their parents. Their kidnapping was a war crime, and it must be recognized and corrected to the extent possible. How can Ukraine accept any deal that leaves out the children?

It confounds me that a wealthy president elected by a majority, who has 5 children & 10 grandchildren, is focused only on 1) playing golf, 2) redecorating, and 3) eradicating civil rights and democracy here & abroad. His name will be cursed for generations where it could have been praised. -Reposted

Postpone discussion of the big bill. Articles of impeachment should be filed in both houses. The president has preempted congress's authority to commit war, he has authorized federal detention and deportation of people with legal status, & he is clearly not mentally fit. Free him to play golf.

I suppose many people will buy imported goods this week that are still priced pre-tariff, like coffee or basic t-shirts & jeans or dried fish & spices. The US does not produce those things. The larger tariff impact will hit next month. Buying (demand) will fall. GDP measured by demand will too.
