Trump establishes AI Medicare death panels that pay the AI company a percentage of money "saved" by denying claims. What could go wrong?

Is anyone working on protecting the 2026 election? I'm sure the Project 2025 guys are already outlining a strategy for postponing or cancelling elections because of a "national emergency" that Trump will discover/declare.

Woke up happy and energized by Cory Booker and Susan Crawford. Now I'm seeing the "Well, what did he accomplish" and "Dems do nothing" posts. Geez can't we even bask for a day or so?

Who exactly is being protected when the DOD removes references to the code talkers? Do we assume that Morse code using Boy Scouts were suffering?

A relative has worked with homeless vets at the VA for decades. Her job is due to be eliminated. When Republican congresspeople talk about how much they respect vets, ask them why they gutted the VA.

Proud of Denver mayor Mike Johnston. His statement to Congress was a model of dignity and common sense. What to do when MAGA comes calling.

Tina Peters was a terrible county clerk. She was convicted by a jury in one of the most conservative parts of Colorado. And now Bondi is supposedly looking for a way to pardon her. Given that she was convicted in state court, I hope that will be hard to do.

I have relatives who are Federal employees. My hubs is a retired Federal employee on a Federal pension. We both use Medicare and get Social Security. And I'm on a Texas State Pension. I feel like the Sword of Damocles is over my head.

So Trump's serious about the Gulf of America nonsense? Does that mean I have to actually worry about Canada and Greenland? Can't somebody distract him until he forgets about them?

Getting a strong Cultural Revolution vibe from Musk's teenage coders. Go into organization and attack older, experienced workers: check. Claim revolutionary status: check. Leave things broken and chaotic: check. Well, after all, Musk does have those close ties to China.

Let's be clear: There is no reason for Elon Musk to have access to Social Security and Medicare payments. None. Zero. Zilch. Do something, Dems!

Just when I'd started sleeping again, Musk invades the treasury and OPM. So here I am at three a.m., watching the night sky. Anybody set to do anything???

So Trump is quick to take credit for the Aurora raid that he had nothing to do with but also quick to deny blame for the plane crash. Got it.
