Trump went to a LIV golf tournament instead of attending the dignified transfer of four U.S. Army soldiers who died in Lithuania.
If you're wondering why this is so disgusting and insulting, I wrote about my time in the Army doing dignified transfers here: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
A small cluster of mostly uninhabited islands in the South Indian Ocean was hit with 10% tariffs on U.S. imports ... which is home to a U.S. military base and not much else.
Trump’s tariffs will mostly affect the service members there.
Elon Musk and DOGE have taken a blowtorch to federal agencies. But the tariffs are a helpful reminder that it's Donald Trump who's fiddling while it all burns.

Guardian [Feb 7] -- Judith Butler op-ed: The E/O's outrageousness "is its own accomplishment. He defies shame & legal constraints to show his capacity to do so...To be gripped by his statements is their aim....We are in its thrall when it captures and paralyzes us."

Enough with the words we need to demand they take action. They need to take the press with them and dare Musk to stop them.

Screenshot that says "normality bias (or normalcy bias) is the tendency to underestimate the likelihood or impact of a potential hazard, based on the belief that things will continue as they have in the past.
Normalcy bias is fcking folks up. Snap out of it. This is real.
