Google Ai says (about the banning of lawn darts): At least three children died from injuries caused by pointed lawn darts before they were banned in the United States in 1988. The deaths involved children aged 4, 7, and 13, and were attributed to the sharp-pointed metal darts used in the game.

Good Trouble in St. Paul!

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

THIS!

'Did you even say thank you?'

Trump and Vance are an absolute embarrassment!

Yep, that tracks!

I think that they don’t at all understand what DEI actually is. I think we give them way too much intellectual credit.

That tracks!

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

This fight will not be easy. What we're dealing with now is one of the worst stress tests our nation has ever endured. But I believe that we will survive. Do not descend into despair. We Can (And Must) Keep Up The Fight

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

The song is “Don’t stop believing”!

The song is “Don’t stop believing”!

Nope - bring it! I’m ready for battle

Doesn’t seem to matter. They are KILLING our democracy

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
