Headline: "President Trump Arranges for International Fugitive to Avoid U.S. Immigration"

Correction: ZERO DOLLARS ARE FLOWING "IN".

The money is all FLOWING OUT of the pockets of US companies and consumers.

I wrote a thing. Solar panels can convert more energy if you concentrate the sunlight. My recent article for IEEE Spectrum describes a novel approach that uses magnifying lenses and more than 1000 times less semiconductor material than standard solar panels.

Some might call it "extortion."

...and let computers draw the maps based on the law.

This is going to hit many people in their pockets. And it's a foolish "savings" by Congressional Republicans. When people can't afford health insurance, they still get sick. And then the taxpayers have to cover the costs.

This will end up costing so much more!

You can tell that this is one of the old ones because the windshield is flat.

Maybe it's because Big Oil can't make money on that oil. Maybe there was a reason that they were interested in pivoting to sustainable energy (until Candidate Trump promised them billions of federal dollars in return for million dollar campaign contributions....)

Thune and Schumer worked out a deal.

The President blew it up late Saturday night.

That's not a surprise.

This is the most imcompetent Administration I have ever witnessed. They are incapable of governing. All they can do is tear things down.

When the President says how great the economy is, why aren't the reporters asking "What figures do you base that on?"

And if he comes back with something vague, press him to get the details.

Come on, media! Do your job!

"My guess is he’ll never get this close to truthfulness again"

Not if he wants to keep his job!

Federal Budget: NO CR unless the President commits -- in writing -- to spend ALL funds as approved by Congress and to halt any further recissions.

Without such an assurance, what's the point of passing a budget?

No Kings! STOP THE COUP!

Insider trading is wrong, apparently, but it's okay to trade stocks?

Ban stock ownership for all Congress and Administration officers, including the President.

When was the last time that the Hatch Act was ever enforced by an Administration of either party?

I would argue that most of these people are NOT stupid. They merely are uneducated, or if you prefer, miseducated.

Our public education system is based on a lottery, determined by the ZIP code where you're born. Babies don't get to choose their families or the education that they get. That's wrong.

As evidence, I submit that as many as one in 10 Americans believe to some degree that the earth is flat.

This is NOT an educated population.

I would like to point out that we have not been educating our country's children for generations.

The problem with facts is that they keep appearing in ways that confirm other sources.

I'm going to make a fortune on my meds! #mysterymath

I am an optimist also, @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, but I am as nervous as a long-tailed cat at rocking chair competition.

Optimism is no reason to be complacent, however. We make our future.

Stop the Coup!

STOP THE COUP!

...waiting for the map-and-Sharpie session in the Oval Office to show us precisely what the "appropriate positions" are.

We need transparency -- and consequences -- from our government.

Thank you, @scanlon.house.gov, for doing your part to shed light on these issues.

"Don't let that cruise ship with sick people dock in the U.S. It will hurt my numbers!"

The President has been fixated on numbers forever, including TV ratings. If you want to hurt his feelings, give him some bad numbers.

I love the new pickup for $1 story....

Is anyone taking bets on who will win that Championship?

Facts matter.

This administration is a clown car, but sadly they are in a position to do great harm to this country.

Stop the Coup!

Remember when Gov. DeSantis fired the person tracking COVID in Florida?

That sure worked out well. The President must think it's a winning strategy!
