1 arrested for assault, a male 70 yr-old Maga supporter, in little Port Angeles, WA. The guy yelled in the faces of peaceful No-Kings protesters, broke a sign, got into a scuffle, and ended up getting pepper sprayed, and then arrested.
No other arrests.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?
ย 
Negotiating a budget deal? No.
ย 
Preventing premiums from doubling? No.
ย 
Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.
ย 
He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.
ย 
America first?

EVERYONE? Could you be a little more specific on how "I" can control the price of oil? Because if I have that superpower, I'll definitely use it.

How many decades has Netanyahu been lying and trying to manipulate the US into war with Iran?

Netanyahu doesn't want peace. War is the only thing keeping him in power.

We all know what "preemptive strike" means. We watched the start of the US-Iraq war over nonexistent WMDs.
How many $Trillions did it cost and how many people did it kill?

Dear Josh, I believe that you have "no idea." In fact, there's probably a ton of things in the realms of science, medicine, law, political science, and many other fields that you don't understand. Fortunately, we have people who do understand, and in this case, they're called judges.

Installing Signal on government devices was wrong. Adding a reporter to a conversation was incompetence. Sending classified information on it (not even knowing who all was on the chat) is grounds for losing your clearance. Hegseth must go.

In an interview with ABC Newsโ€™ Terry Moran, President Donald Trump doubled and tripled down on whether deportee Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has MS13, representing the MS-13 gang, tattooed on his knuckles. Trump cited an altered image as evidence. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Unfit for Office Donald Trumpโ€™s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Let me get this straight. We're in a trade war with China and Trump is simultaneously making it easier for China to surpass the US in AI? And to top it off, DOGE gutted the very agency responsible for preventing the export of advanced US tech that can be used against us in a war?

Elon, Jr., and Donald really thought this one through. Not only do they save money on wages, but it will help cull the herd of elderly people saving even more money that will be used to justify tax cuts for the oligarchs.

Focus on "clean water and reducing environmental toxins"? So the HHS is turning into the EPA?

Trump is a crappy negotiator. China knows his support within the US is declining. They also know he can't be trusted to stick with any agreements. He has no credibility.

So completely disconnected and unaware of how most people live. He has no business saying anything about how the average SS recipient would react.

1) Announce something with no forethought
2) Deal with chaos

"It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes."
2 x 2,400,000 = 4,800,000 minutes. Or 80,000 hours. The average loaded labor rate is $75.
Weekly cost $6,000,000
Yearly cost $312M

The world absolutely will NOT be looking to the US for any leadership on this threat.

20% of what they actually save or claim to save? Big difference between the two.

Of course they'd cut that. They have no idea what they're doing.

I forget, is Trump or Musk the star in this reality-TV show from hell? Because I sense some jealousy between them over who gets the most attention.

Sorry, but a phone call won't do. A face to face with a Trump signed EO authorizing access to HIPAA protected data without authorization of the individuals whose data is to be seen. Create a paper trail.

Just stop testing. That's how Trump wanted to "eliminate" covid.
