The GOP has held humanity back by hundreds of years politically, socially, technologically, philosophically, spiritually, financially - they are a cancer and a plague without value or purpose.

Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon The Trump administration canceled a deal, signed under President Joe Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to…

Trump’s move to halt an initiative to restore abundant salmon runs drew condemnation.

β€œThe Administration’s decision to terminate these commitments echoes the federal government’s historic pattern of broken promises to tribes,” a tribe member said.

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

The Trumpists talk a lot about representing β€œreal America.” How much of a bizarre propagandistic lie this is was on full display yesterday - when a vast, heterogeneous coalition of people mobilized in protest while all the regime offered was an embarrassing, lame, sad excuse of a military parade.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?

It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.

Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.

But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.

Let your reps hear from you.

All of these signal chains are government records. Are they all downloaded? Being properly stored? Transparency in government matters; apparently, it matters so much that this crew was willing to compromise highly sensitive information in order to avoid it.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting.

At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

Truth be told, the people of Europe 'aren't' crying out for Americans to defend us... politicians are, like headless chickens!

The people of Europe overwhelmingly want to increase aid to Ukraine, get Ukraine under a European security umbrella, increase our own defence spending, and get on with it.

Say what you want, but this is working.

Tesla shares are plummeting, and people can’t offload their Teslas fast enough. The NYC protest today is πŸ”₯ β€”they’re continuing the effort to urge folks to sell their Teslas and dump stock. The brand is toxic. PSβ€”I got rid of my Tesla in 2024.

Trump is targeting law firms that defend federal employees, expanding his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he opposes. A new memorandum threatens to use government power to punish any firm that, in his view, unfairly challenges his administration.
