Trump Administration Ends Tracking of Kidnapped Ukrainian Children in Russia
A Democratic lawmaker is drafting a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking whether a database on thousands of children has been deleted.
What does this remind you of? Careless regard for parental to child bond we had experience with at our own Southern border during T's last term, About 1000 have never been reunited. Careless and dangerous.

Thereβs a Term for What Trump and Musk Are Doing
How regime change happens in America
This is quite an article. Digital Services act of Europe is something we need to have actual Free Speech and not what the oligarchs & tech companies want us to be fed.
Three decades ago the social media companies were exempted from what news has to comply with.

The People Carrying Out Muskβs Plans at DOGE (Gift Article)
The Times identified 50 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies.
Musk posted 3 weeks back of throwing US Aid in the wood chipper with such glee, and now shredding some new agency. The many civil servants who have done meaningful work, were unceremoniously dismissed in a day's time to walk out of with nothing more than a box of office supplies.

Trump Plans βGold Cardβ Alternative to Green Cards for βHigh Level Peopleβ (Gift Article)
President Trump said the cards would have βa higher level of sophisticationβ than green cards and cost applicants about $5 million.
Here we are again with this hierarchy of some persons being of greater worth than others. It's a frightening world when lead by such a prehistoric mind.

So good on positive solutions, and the brazen corruption thru Trump's crypto, to foreign influence. But also great thoughts on the attention economy and monetizing it towards social health instead of no duty of care shown by social media's business plan.

Ever careless, Musk and his imaginary agency that's never been officially created, aka "DOGE", and is illegal, has gotten ahead of its skis.

Seems contradictory, but then there's no coherence to this Admin.; that seems the point. But as USA backs away from world leadership, does it seem to you that we're acting like colonizers with more demands than when we actually were an Empire?--on Ukraine, Gaza, Greenland and whatever's next?
