In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Vaccine Skepticism Comes for Pet Owners, Too
Pet owners are refusing rabies vaccines because of ‘pawtism’ fears. Anti-vax conspiracies have gone so far off the rails they’re endangering dogs. Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms start. Misinformation is spreading faster than the viruses these days.

Until then, I'll just keep my hopes to a minimum (have been so disappointed by the heartlessness and cluelessness of that crowd in the past). The real chance for change comes in Nov '26...

This makes a good story and I hope that it is true, at least for some of the maggats, but my personal experience is that no one has changed their minds. They would still vote for him again today. It's really sad. The effects of the benefit cuts and increased premiums won't show up till next year

Jeffries: "Trump needs to instruct his employees here in the Capitol -- that would be Johnson and Thune. They work for Trump, not the American people. In fact, Trump is the one who recently said 'I'm the president & the speaker!' Extraordinary stuff. Trump is openly mocking Republican leaders."

Since federal taxes are by definition, Federal, the only practical way to accomplish the desired end result is to pass a Federal law saying that no state can receive any more benefit from fed taxes than is contributed by that state. This will never happen.

But. You would still be responsible to the payment to the US Treasury, period. Tax liens until you pay up from the Feds. The states are sovereign, but only in respect to that which does not violate federal law. Federal law says that you owe the treasury that money. The suggestion is nonsense.

The President of the United States is using his power to coerce people into not criticizing him. This completely violates the First Amendment.

I welcome them to stage this in-house protest, now that I sold all Disney stock today, and will soon cancel my subscription to Disney+. Only doing what little is in my power to control. Join me in sending the message, one small act of resistance at a time.
