"A Man may err once, and he may err twice but when those who possess more than a common share of abilities persevere in a regular course of destructive policy, one is more apt to suspect their hearts than their heads."
... George Washington, letter to Fielding Lewis, Peaks-kill, June 28, 1781

Where are we headed?
Higher inflation? Depression? Authoritarianism?
My analysis of where we are today. Warning: It's a long read with a fair amount of detail.

Good read, explaining much of the racist and literal Nazi heritage now on display from Elon Musk.

A legal scholar talks about 10 laws he says are 'ruining America'
In Bad Law, Elie Mystal argues that our country's laws on immigration, abortion and voting rights don't reflect the will of most Americans, and we'd be better off abolishing them and starting over.
A legal scholar talks about 10 laws he says are 'ruining America', an interview with the author of the new book "Bad Law" on NPR's "Fresh Air".
Fascinating, worthwhile read and/or listen. Very good points to ponder. I tend to agree with the author on most points.

We put a Russian agent in charge of the entire country, so this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit."
Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

Breaking down list alleging companies like McDonald's and Walmart donated to Trump
While FEC records confirm some companies on the list donated to Trump, the list itself isn't trustworthy.
Snopes found that on the whole, the list was inaccurate and unreliable. Many of the companies on the list did primarily support Republican candidates and causes, while others did not.
Good and thorough analysis. Too many claims thrown about from various political backgrounds are suspect.

Musk Forms Dept. Of Underaged Clowns Harming Everything (DOUCHE)
He boasted that he was “taking DOGE to the next level.”
Borowitz posts seem too believable to be satire these days.

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp'
Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.
Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

4.2: "The Employee Response Data is explicitly voluntary"
Read that again.
No response is required and this explicitly states that they aren't collecting data that isn't explicitly and voluntarily provided.
In short, ignored ignore the MAGAt DOGEr.

On February 12, 1809, Nancy Hanks Lincoln gave birth to her second child, a son: Abraham.
“The legitimate object of government is ‘to do for the people what needs to be done, but which they can not, by individual effort, do at all, or do so well, for themselves,’… as public roads and highways, public schools, charities, pauperism, orphanage... and the machinery of government itself.”
