Nice MAGA talking points, @golden.house.gov
My 89 yr old mother follows the news, & she has voted in every election. For decades, she used to volunteer for long hours at her polling place. She’s not going to go buy a $130. passport solely to vote, so she will not be able to vote again. 😡 #polltax

In theory this nightmare could end today:

I love this

How to destroy the educational system in the US and assure the best students will look elsewhere for advanced degrees.

Canada PM Mark Carney says old relationship with US 'is over' The Canadian leader said his country's relationship with the US had changed due to Trump's tariffs, jeopardising future cooperation.

How to make things worse for Americans and our reliable neighbor while proving to the world we are not to be relied on. We shouldn’t just blame Trump and his congressional enablers but also our countrymen.
Time to stand up and not be complicit!

“Concerned” is not strong enough

Sorry for your mom’s passing.
Hope you are doing well.

Let’s hope it grows quickly

I certainly do NOT base my opinion of the current administration on the stock market. I am ashamed, disgusted, with our current government because of its many recent actions and its abandonment of our allies.

I admit a part of me is glad to see the stock market decline even though we have personally lost a substantial amount. But I also realize the market will go up and down and will probably eventually recover.

It appears roles are being reversed. England is no longer ruled be a king and in the USA the president is trying to be a monarch.

@farfetchedacds.bsky.social hi Craig. dave E here

I am curious when we will begin seeing massive demonstrations? Clearly they need to occur in districts and states that have spineless representatives and senators.

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

I have faith in the court system. What I DON’T have faith in is the current administration’s respect for any court order. A judgment is only worth the paper it is printed on if there is no one willing to enforce it. Not to mention all the damage that can be done before the order issues.

What do people think of 1440? I haven’t subscribed yet but would like some comments from those who have subscribed

To see/hear the complete interview search for “Musk Leaves Audience Speechless in Italy”
The woman was not really trying to get as far away as possible

Elon Musk: "race mixing is bad. Italy for Italians!"

*woman next to him moves as far away as possible*

I wrestled in college (not my senior year). Removing big money removed from college sports would help more football and basketball athletes be serious students. But it’s not going to happen.

After reading the article sports could be a legitimate major or minor. I certainly appreciate the benefits of athletics.
I would add that school always came easy to me. Later in life I recognized in HS wrestling was really the only thing I seriously studied and is where I learned to study.

My first reaction of offering a major in sports is negative but after I read the article I will reevaluate. I would hope it would be more than being an excellent athlete and would be available to non-athletes as well.

Fresh from the mass pardons of cop-beating criminals, the GOP announces a new “investigation” of Jan. 6.

Hard to see what they can add to the 800-page report of the bipartisan Jan. 6 Cmte, but they can procure the star witness who has so far refused to testify: Donald Trump.

Me too

Sen. Lisa Murkowski to vote against Hegseth, first Republican to oppose a Trump Cabinet pick Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks.

BREAKING: Sen. Lisa Murkowski won't support Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary, becoming the first Republican to oppose a Trump Cabinet pick.

The Second Coming of MAGA's Messiah How a rapist, felon, and traitor became millions of Americans' savior—and what the rest of us can do now

Look, I don’t have a clue what’s coming or how to best prepare and I’m not sure any of us truly do.

What I do know, is that I’m not letting this bastard win.

As much as I would like to escape/ignore what is happening for my mental sanity, I know I shouldn’t for I would than be complicit and lose self respect. I hope you feel the same.
Reading what is happening is hard but is necessary.

SCHIFF: Trump wants to jail Liz Cheney. Are you aware of any factual basis to investigate Liz Cheney?

BONDI: That's a hypothetical and I'm not going to answer that

To our collective shame. He is a stain on our society, a danger to the world, and we are to blame
