Thank you!!

Where did you see this? I couldn't find anything on state.gov.

Also, travel.state.gov/en/internati... shows only a single, level 2 advisory ("exercise increased caution") for Mexico from 08/12/2025.

Interestingly, Canada has a level 1 advisory & looks like EVERY country is level 1 or greater!

Sorry, my bad. I forgot you are Canadian for a moment. Well, hope the rest of your day is better!!!

Well, we’re not communicating this morning. This was just my guess at why you posted “well, fuck”. No obituary announcement from the Whitehouse is a daily frustration for me.

“The reason [Trump] got reelected… is the media gave him a pass. People like you… Meanwhile, we have masked thugs pulling American citizens off the street.”

Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social debate Piers Morgan, who claims that Trump is not a Nazi or fascist.

Watch: zeteo.com/p/mehdi-deba...

I’d like to see an in-depth analysis of whether the SAVE act will disenfranchise more GOP or DEM voters. My guess is GOP but it’s probably going to be close. If that’s the case then it may not have much of an effect on the results this Nov. It’s a bad law but prob not a disaster.

What? No obit in your social feeds either??

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins stood silently in the Oval Office clutching a red MAGA hat as Trump told lies about our elections and repeated his call for the federal government to take over vote counting in certain parts of the country. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Fucking shit! 😡

*TRUMP SAYS HE HAS JUST SIGNED GLOBAL 10% TARIFF

This would be under Section 122, which allows tariffs up to 15% for 150 days to deal with balance of payments problems. A US trade deficit is a questionable application. But no way does it get to SCOTUS in 150 days. So this probably stays. 1/5

“Acing” seems a bit grandiose for “we were able to fill the fuel tanks” but whatever. As an engineer, I’m very, very surprised that the first manned flight is leaving Earth orbit and has no way to abort early once they boost for lunar orbit!

Sure, litigate until the next administration is sworn in in 2029 and let the incoming president figure out how to pay the $175 billion. Most trumpy way to handle the issue ever!

Trump says he’s signing an executive order to implement a 10% global tariff after his Supreme Court loss.

Doubling down on stupid. Typical.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump's tariffs The 6-3 ruling is a major blow to the president's signature economic policy.

The 6-3 ruling is a major blow to the president's signature economic policy. n.pr/3OtEZ2E

Ha ha ha. Over/under on the percentage of tariff refunds will go to Amazon? Amazon will pass 0% on to users who actually paid the tariff taxes.

Tweet from Doug Collins: Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication. VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences. While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future.

BREAKING: SECVA Doug Collins has CANCELLED his effort to STRIP Veterans of their benefits thanks to MASSIVE backlash from We the People. WELL DONE and STAY LOUD!

To be fair, Trump wouldn’t be President without all the women who voted for him. So IMHO the question should have been “Why are people?”

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

NEW: Sen. Susan Collins became the 50th senator to support the voter suppressive SAVE America Act.

The Mainer's alignment with Trump’s agenda exposes her willingness to turn her back on democracy.

But this November, voters will get the chance to return the favor, Marc Elias writes.

The guy who can’t even stay awake during his “Board of Peace” meeting wants to transfer 10 billion dollars of taxpayer money to fund it without congressional approval.

Donald Trump’s admin also ordered more drone strikes in one year than Biden’s 4 years combined.

What a farce.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

I’ve lost track: how many times has trump spent the tariff money on other things or said he was giving it to people/groups? Individual checks, farmers, etc. It’s his magic bullet that he thinks can fix any and all fiscal problems (but not the Epstein files).

BBC: UK has not given US permission to use RAF bases for Iran strikes

Hope springs eternal that the Dems will finally stick to their demands but, sorry to say, I wouldn’t bet that they will.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

Thanks

Son of a bitch.

PLEASE PLEASE CALL

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Trump really is trying to destroy America. He has ginned up this idea that there are Red states and Blue states, instead of the United States. I think (and hope) that we will outlast him. One year down, three to go.
