The head of our countryβs government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.

U.S.D.A. Freezes Funding for Maine Amid Battle Over Transgender Athletes
The administration concluded last month that Maine had violated federal law by allowing transgender athletes to play on girlsβ or womenβs teams.
There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
