It’s such a no-brainer to do this. It would solve so many problems. Spot on, Kay.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.

That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.

If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Trump's first month showed $36 billion more in spending than last year This February's monthly statement showed federal payments that were $36 billion higher than last February's.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.

This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

"The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over," Trump says, as Elon looks on from the gallery.

The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match.

Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

Do you know how hard it is for someone in their early 50s who isn’t rich to leave?

I’m doomed. They’re going to fire my wife and my company won’t have enough customers. It’s escape or death.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

See how this works?

It’s going to take violence. That’s my fear. I don’t see anything else working. It’s going to take the military restoring order. Or some courageous republicans to flip parties.

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

Canceled my
Amazon Prime today. Long overdue, but I hope I’m not the only one.

We have been switching away from Amazon a lot lately and have found there are almost always cheaper alternatives.

Fuck Jeff Bezos.

Musk is trying to downplay the chaos he’s creating by saying it’s much the same as the cost-cutting efforts of the Clinton administration.

This is rubbish. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/musks-rubbish

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

This is so frustrating because this is another obvious, verifiable truth and the wrong people continue to get the blame.

Wake up, world.

Attention working-class Americans:

Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.

Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying β€œWhy are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”
