Just a Dad

I love this for too many reasons.

“Goodnight, Daddy.”

There is nothing better than being a dad.

Damn Biden Tariffs!

Ummm… No.

We are so conditioned to believe that our economy and lives are zero sum games that we have lost the capacity to empathize with the challenges of our neighbors.

I reject the shackles of this frame.

Injustice is injustice whether it’s happening to you or to a stranger.

I want you to be free.

This. @rweingarten.bsky.social stands up for borrowers.

I have a 7 year old daughter. She’ll be nearly 11 when this presidential term ends.

When I was her age, George H. W. Bush was President and, at age 9, I vividly remember Bill Clinton’s victory in 1992.

I admired him. I revered the presidency.

Our kids are watching and these years matter.

What if… just maybe… DOGE was never intended to find any savings but merely to provide pretext for Tesla/SpaceX to surreptitiously gather/destroy protected information and undermine regulatory authorities actively seeking to prosecute the companies?

We typically keep it to ourselves, but… we got that ‘reuse the birthday candles’ typa wealth, if you needed to know how we get down.

Breaking news:

Turns out US businesses ALSO export their products for sale in other countries

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why didn't the president include Russia on list of countries that are facing tariffs?

HASSETT: There's an ongoing negotiation with Russia and Ukraine and he made the decision not to conflate the two issues

S: But Russia is one of the only countries not subject to these new tariffs

Trying out headlines…

Donald Trump... the last Republican President?

Or

Donald Trump... the last President?

The Overton window refers to the range of policies considered politically acceptable at any time. It defines the boundaries of public discourse—what’s seen as acceptable for politicians and media to discuss without seeming extreme.

The Overton window has been introduced to the Trump wood chipper.

Reporter: “Where does that confidence come from?”

Queen: “I’m from Baltimore, that’s why.”

Did I just see a “PSA” on network television from Department of Homeland Security featuring Kristi Noem warning people to leave the country??

(2) The voting public rejects Trump’s power-grab and the members of Congress that enabled it. In which case, they are out of power and their political careers are forever tarnished.

Getting just 8 GOP members to see the light seems entirely plausible. Especially as the economy continues to tank.

What’s the end game for the GOP members of Congress in swing districts/states?

It seems to me, only one of two outcomes awaits:

(1) Trump is successful in consolidating power under a Unity Executive and toppling democracy. In which case, Congress renders itself useless.

Executive Order on “Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness” On March 7, President Trump issued an executive order that could revise which organizations are eligible under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. Established in 2007, the PSLF program...

According to the Department of Education, more than 2 million student loan borrowers currently qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (#PSLF). Trump's executive order puts those borrowers in danger of no longer qualifying, leaving thousands in limbo with their loans. www.epi.org/policywatch/...

This will hurt Red and Blue districts.

Nothing is off limits.

They’ll cut everything that isn’t a subsidy to the wealthy just to… [checks notes]… provide more subsidies to the wealthy.

When do just 8 congressional Republicans get the courage to save their own political careers?

Trump Signs PSLF Executive Order Limiting Eligibility: Who’s Affected? President Donald Trump signed a new executive order to reshapethe Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, known as PSLF, by excluding certain borrowers.

“He wants to impose an ideological litmus test that is antithetical to American values... It’s an illegal attack on millions of dedicated public service workers who placed their faith in PSLF’s bipartisan promise…” @rweingarten.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social
