According to the forecasting models, the current steep funding cutsโ€” coupled with the potential dissolution of the agencyโ€”could lead to more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, averaging more than 2ยท4 million deaths per year. These deaths include 4ยท5 million among children younger than 5 years, or more than 700โ€‰000 deaths annually.

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. Thereโ€™s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but theyโ€™re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

I will never, ever understand why Republican representatives are so afraid of Trump. His cronies might try to trash their reelection? So get another job. Better than (I hope) not sleeping nights, knowing that youโ€™ve helped trash democracy.

I keep thinking about our armed service members who are now in a war, led by a Commander-in-Chief who will consider them โ€œlosers and suckersโ€ should they become injured or, God forbid, lose their lives in the time ahead.

The rest of us good Americans thank you for your service. Godspeed.

Just wondering: does Trump own hotels? Surely not, because that would be a way to line his pockets in violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause. But Trump wouldn't do that, would he? ๐Ÿค  www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

So they want us to believe that people who were seeking work at Home Depot are a threat to our community?? The same people who suburban families invite into their homes to complete tiling and roofing projects?!
Thatโ€™s who weโ€™re supposed to fear and not the thugs in riot gear?!?

The State of California has not requested National Guard support because it is not needed. Invoking the Insurrection Act under these conditions is an abuse of power. We urge everyone to remain peaceful โ€” violence only fuels those looking to justify further escalation.

Here is your statistic of the day:
Nine out of 10 federal employees laid off by DOGE since March worked in liberal-leaning agencies.
All proposed budget increases go to conservative agencies, with the bulk going to the most conservative agencies.

However, weโ€™ve been told to exercise caution as NPS staff and budgets have been cut. Which means not all trails are cleared, not all emergency staff are available, and even some restrooms are closed.
