I wear a different one most days and every single day I get compliments and "where did you get that hat?" How fun that you are all the way across the country and see them being worn!

They don't have to cut "benefits" at all to destroy it. They cut people so processing times so new claims never get paid. They cut IT so checks don't go out. They collapse the system while saying they're trying to "save" it and when it finally explodes declare it dead and privatize it all.

Can we demand new elections ?
Can we expect the military to step in and remove him ?
Can we stage a public revolt ?
Can we impeach him ?

What does it take to remove a treasonous administration ?

When is enough enough ?

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny.

Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.

The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

It will fuel MAGA to call out tourists and anyone speaking in a foreign language. I can't even imagine what I would have done in the many foreign countries I have been in, attempting to speak the language, and have someone yelling at me to "speak our language."

Zelenskyy is a smart man. Trump just got played and he still doesn't even realize it. Zelenskyy made him prove, that he is on Putin's side 100% and he is a traitor and a wannabe dictator to America! He basically made him say it out loud in front of the whole world! Bravo Zelenskyy! Take no prisoners

How Trump Bullied MAGA Rep. Into Changing Her Vote on Budget Bill Representative Victoria Spartz originally said she would vote against the reconciliation bill.

Trump screamed GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz into submission on his disastrous budget bill. The Indiana congresswoman claimed Wednesday she was a β€œhard no” β€” but that was before Spartz took a furious phone call from Trump, whose screaming could be heard by her colleagues across the Republican cloakroom.

Portugal had a total failure recently with this same concept. The wealthy outsiders came in and bought up all the homes, making it impossible for the residents to find or afford a place to live. I also have to wonder how easy it will be for foreigners backed by terrorist groups to become citizens?

The Case for Blue-State Secession It’s the only way to ensure democracy and equal justice, not just for blue-state residents but for citizens in all 50 states.

This would bring out goons on both sides but may be the only remaining option after the past 3 months. Reordering state-federal relations is long overdue. The best hope for a functioning democracy resides with the state governments, not the federal kleptocracy. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk? The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

NEWS --> Dems fear a Defense Department IG review of Elon Musk's flouting of security protocol as a big recipient of Pentagon contracts is now dead under Trump. DOD launched the probe in 2024, but then Trump fired DOD's IG, so what happened to that probe?
