French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Neroβs court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
Appreciate your work, your expertise! Is there nothing that can be done to stop the madness? Panels -we have moved so far past their efficacy. Impeachment? Ty for sharing ideas and βdoingβin the middle of our crisis - as we Americans cling to the the fraying hemline of Democracy.

Trumpβs presidency isnβt just a disasterβitβs a deliberate act of destruction against American democracy and global stability. His cabinet is a rotating cast of unqualified loyalists, his diplomacy is a joke, and his governance is dictated by personal vendettas and unchecked narcissism.

Trump has fired people who process prescriptions by mail. So if youβre a veteran, order your meds earlier than you normally would. They could take a while.
My guess is that Oklahoma will be the next state after NM affected by the Texas measles outbreak. There is the geographical proximity, and there is also the fact that in 2024, only 89% of OK kindergartners were vaccinated with MMR. www.cdc.gov/schoolvaxvie...
