Based on his ability to read the moment, not inconceivable that this is an April Fools joke.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.

When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.

Unacceptable.

How Much Did Congress Make Off Market Turmoil and Why’re They Allowed to Make Anything at All? Questions about who profited from Trump’s tariff flip-flop revived the push to ban members of Congress themselves from trading stocks.

That's right!!

America Needs More Sprawl to Fix Its Housing Crisis The word has become an epithet for garish, reckless growth — but to fix the housing crisis, the country needs more of it.

"Despite the boom in residents, Princeton still has just a handful of restaurants and few places to take children beyond private backyards. There are not many local jobs, so most of Princeton’s residents commute out of town for work."

We don't have to sacrifice the above to increase housing.

The White House has just released a new official statement as the economy crashes:

“The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”

Here’s 4 TikTok dances you can do to help fight tariffs

Republicans: “Trump is going to fix Biden’s broken economy!”

Republicans: “Actually, Trump SHOULD destroy the economy, and it will totally be great, I promise!”

Republicans: “So what if Trump destroying the economy isn’t good? As long as I get to benefit, who cares who gets hurt?”

Noting that the fascist Trump admin is using unsubstantiated claims of "gang affiliation" to summarily deport and disappear people without due process, an expansion of a tactic that is currently being used by police forces in the US: gang databases.

Just to be clear: What this directive appears to say is that the administration see libraries that carry books not written by white people or that discuss racism as “diversity initiatives,” so to be colorblind means there is only one recognized “color.”

Getting loud at town halls is ‘our only option,’ Utahns say in this week’s Inside Voices “Our only option now is for the people to rise and be vocal and call on our representatives to do their jobs.”

Israel Leveled Gaza — Then Killed the Drone Journalists Who Showed it to the World Only drones can begin to capture the scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip. The journalists doing it were targeted again and again.

Drone journalist Mahmoud Isleem al-Basos was working on a story about the killing of drone journalists when he was killed by an Israeli airstrike.

A democracy cannot survive if people who are fundamentally anti-democratic in their actions are allowed to hold power. A tolerant society cannot tolerate the intolerant.

The self-professed ‘free speech absolutist’, with a crazed look in his eyes, says ‘we are going to go after’ the people pushing ‘lies and propaganda.’

Pretty sure, whether you like it or not, the First Amendment covers both lies and propaganda.
