Not surprising, unfortunately. Greed breeds evil behavior

Canada needs to enlist NATO to defend against this madman/Putin/Hitler-wannabe

Russell Vought Wants to Burn the Government Down Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought has spent his life trying to cripple the ability of the state to benefit anyone but the rich, to the point that it can’t be put back together. W...

This man is absolutely, disgustingly evil! He's the architect of Project 2025 and wants to burn down the government to benefit the rich.

A crook and cheat.

yep, the white house is a ship of criminals, quacks, and fools - in a word, a kakistocracy

Thank goodness some honest, courageous people are standing up to this administration!

The GOP: a ship of crooks/criminals, quacks, and fools

Opinion | JD Vance is turning his back on his law degree — and his oath of office Yale-educated JD Vance appeared to challenge judicial review with a tweet arguing judges shouldn't be allowed to control Donald Trump's "legitimate" power.

JD Vance should be stripped of his Yale law degree, since clearly he is violating his oath to the constitution by urging Trump to defy federal judges' rulings that serve as a check and balance on his power grab: www.yahoo.com/news/opinion...

How did we get where we are today?
1) Supreme Court's ruling in 2010 for unlimited, undisclosed campaign contributions by private citizens
2) Rising income inequality
3) Enablers of Trump, including Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and Mike Johnson
4) Selfishness vs sacrifice for the common good

Yes! Where is the outcry? I'm not seeing it on the front-page headlines of the NYT, let alone most mainstream media outlets

Goodbye America, it's been nice knowing you

From NYT: "Presidents Trump and Musk have merged their cult followings, conspiratorial mindsets, disinformation artistry, disdain for the Constitution... With pitiless and mindless velocity, they are running roughshod over the government."

Former Trump Education secretary calls for department to be shuttered as cutting spree looks for next target Betsy DeVos, Trump’s first secretary of Education, called for it to be abolished entirely on Thursday.

This is a disgrace. Despicable. Horrifying. Heartbreaking. Welcome to Trump's America, where only rich white men are served.

House Democrats denied entry into Education Department Lawmakers were told they have to have an appointment or get an escort to enter the department.

Let's talk about the Department of Education, next on Trump's (and his machiavellian right-wing fundamentalist handlers') chopping block. Can anyone in mainstream media call this what it is: an attack on all institutions that don't serve anyone but rich white men?

From the NYT, Constitutional Crisis: "Trump has called the bluff of our constitutional system: It works best when each branch does its job with alacrity. Trump’s opponents are filing lawsuits, but courts are slow and deliberative." Yep, this is how democracy dies. FIGHT BACK!

Yep. So much for the politicians like JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Today's maggots (and some Democrats) are self-serving, self-interested assholes

Just like Mao Tse Tung was terrified of educated people, as was the Ayatollah Khomeini, etc.. A playbook that's followed by many dictators/authoritarians

Had the privilege of presenting "What Makes a Great Historical Novel" yesterday at NC State University's OLLI program for retirees and lifelong learners. Enjoyed the questions and discussion!

Listen up, all Tesla investors! Divest yourself of Musk and his blatant attempt to destroy the American economy and enrich himself by selling your Tesla stock now!

The Canadian MP called Trump what he is: a criminal. Now, which US leaders are doing this? Stand up to him, people, before it's too late!

How the f**k does he have the time to do this and allegedly run three or four companies? And where are the lawsuits against an unelected person gaining access to government data?

No, I highly doubt Musk hacked the election results. He didn't have to. He bought the election

Oh no, he's not a genius. Nor is he a good businessman. Far from it! That's a mistake too many people make. He's simply a narcissist who convinces the masses to think he's smart. And yes, he's following the Project 2025 Playbook

If only this were better organized and coordinated, as the protests in 2017 were

This is how you turn a democracy into an authoritarian state or a Christian theocracy. He knows this playbook.

And this money will go straight into Trump's pockets as he turns us into a banana republic or an oppressive Christian theocracy

Per Time, nearly two-thirds of the executive actions Trump has issued mirror proposals in Project 2025, the 900-page policy blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation. This is no surprise. But I'm alarmed that so few journalists and Democrats are confronting him. Speak out against fascism!!

Don't cut NPR and PBS funding!  Millions of Americans rely on public media  for their news and educational programming. In many rural areas in our country, public broadcasting is their main avenue for receiving news, emer...
