Joni Ernst said it at a town hall, then again in a cemetery: “We’re all going to die.”

That’s her defense for cutting Medicaid.

If politicians are deciding who gets care, who stays sick, or who dies—what exactly are we calling that?

Autocracy Crushed My Alma Mater. Then I Got to Columbia. Smolny College is a warning.

Before coming to Columbia, Anastasiia Vorozhtsova went to Smolny College, a liberal-arts school in St. Petersburg.

“Russian authorities intervened, and my alma mater started unraveling. Smolny’s story offers a warning that Columbia must heed”:

First they cut the ethics offices.
Then they dropped investigations into international financial interests. Then they gutted IRS enforcement. Then they fired the Inspectors General.

‘Shrinking government’ always seems to make it easier to steal.

Tax credits = smart policy that rewards capital improvements with shared benefits.
Net metering = essential for citizen-driven energy.
Both should stay.

33.7 megawatts of solar energy produced.
5.5 MW sent back to the grid.
23.9 tons of CO2 emissions avoided.
All from a family investment in clean energy.
#EarthDayEveryDay isn’t a slogan—it’s how we live.

I’d say “unbelievable” but nothing surprises me anymore.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

This was….five months ago

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

I just added autorenewal on my “The Atlantic” subscription.

The media has been disappointing concerning everything MAGA.

I had not seen this. Talk about splattering so much crap out there that it all sticks without anyone seeing it. Ridiculous.

Elon Musk agrees that we've exhausted AI training data | TechCrunch Elon Musk concurs with other AI experts that there's little real-world data left to train AI models on.

Elon Musk says, " We've exhausted AI training data." What if you could get real-world data on 350 million Americans? Why not scam Rare Earth Minerals from Canada and Greenland for his AI revolution?

I immediately thought about who benefits from a full-out recession. When the tax cuts are final, it will provide enough money for the broliarchs to purchase companies that fail for pennies on the dollar. Is all of this chaos by design?

Our backyard chickens and our solar investment seem to be working out well for us. A great start in an effort to be sustainable and self-sustaining. #MARA (make America resilient again).

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force.

MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.
