Semi-retired mom (because, you know, that's a position from which one never actually retires). Professional dabbler, ardent Democrat, and too old to watch my mouth. Superannuated hippie chick whose "Peace & Love" supply is being siphoned off. Sad.

The Trump Administration Nears Open Defiance of the Courts In its conflict with a federal judge, the Justice Department claims to be complying with his orders while provoking a constitutional crisis.

Ruth Marcus reports from inside an emergency hearing to discuss the Trump Administration’s defiance of a court order. β€œWhat ensued was one of the most extraordinary exchanges I’ve witnessed in years of covering the courts.”

MAHA Is a Fraud America has never been healthier. Going backwards is going to mean more people getting sick and dying.

Putin gives Trump bare minimum on Ukraine but the war goes on Trump made a big deal of his conversation with Putin, but there is little to shout about, Sarah Rainsford writes.

β€œTrump tries to spin his call with Putin as a win, but a 30-day halt on energy infrastructure attacks is hardly a breakthrough. Small concession, big claimsβ€”nothing that will change the course of the war. #TrumpWatch #PutinPuppet #Ukraine”

β€˜Cataclysmic’: environmentalists fear effects of Trump cuts on Great Lakes Advocates warn firings and funding freezes already risk poisoning drinking water and decimating fish population

Trump & Musk’s ignorance about federal efforts to protect the Great Lakes is staggering. Environmental cuts threaten not only the region’s ecosystem but the livelihoods of millions.

Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups The Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

This is dicatorship. They are aiming to imprison people for merely trying to keep the air clean.

Don't be shocked if Trump removes sanctions against Russia because Trump is a Russian agent.

If America ever had any claim at being great, it was because of programs like these. For a minuscule savings to the federal budget, hundreds of thousands will suffer and die. My contempt for the people who did this knows no bounds, and the sooner we can get them out of power, the better.

If Zelensky gets what he wants, those who will benefit most will be all the nations in Europe, starting in Eastern Europe, who will not be invaded by Putin because he will have been stopped in Ukraine. Next will be all who would have been pulled into war to try to stop him there. Rinse, repeat.
