Nothing will heighten US Military readiness more than phalanxes of troops beset by the flu.

Between Hegseth and Kennedy, the Trump admin seems determined to cripple the nation and its military with preventable illnesses.

I firmly believe Trump and his inner circle are financially benefiting from insider information, threats, and greased palms.

Follow the money!

Are Hegseth and Patel having a drinking contest?

With Trump and his cronies, the number one rule is, they lie. The number two rule is, follow the money.

Corporations say consolidation is good for industries. By that they mean good for profits. But consolidation is bad for consumers, reducing competition and creating monopoly-like conditions. Airlines, car dealers, phone companies, medical practices, hospitals, etc ... all areas consumers get hurt.

This headline may explain a lot about this administration:

Trump Loosens Restrictions on Psychedelic Drugs

If Lutnick is condemning Canada ahead of trade talks, you know Canada is right and just in their positions.

And full disclosure - I am American.

Then, there's this way (in Paris, France).

He and his family are grifters and everything he does is based on a calculation of how he might financially benefit.

Follow the money!

Seems to me that Vance is the one who needs to be careful about that; not the head of the Catholic church.

He may be as delusional as is his boss.

The SocSec cap is absurd and needs to come off.

Trump and his cronies have and continue to do generational damage. I only hope there is a way to eventually hold them accountable. I'm not holding my breath.

We watched in awe as Hungarians fought back against a tyrant at the voting booth to save their democracy.

We need to fight back against our own tyrant at the voting booth to save our democracy!

[NYT] Between fewer immigrants filing, fewer actually working, and the fear Trump has created for tourists visiting the US, causing a sharp downturn in tourism, Trump's policies are markedly impacting the US economy. In a bad way.

Way to put America first, DonBoy.

This is the picture Trump posted of himself. He has sinced deleted it, after serious blow-back from MAGAts.

Let's make sure this continues to circulate, especially on X.

Hopefully the damage is was too late to staunch

I imagine that translates to paying independent and small group doctors less, paying smaller hospital organizations less, but paying practices and hospitals owned by Trump supportive private equity groups more. And the net impact on consumers will be minimal, if not negative.

I sure hope the people running the Democratic Congressional campaign strategy have been collecting all the egregious Trump posts and press clips to remind Republicans what a bozo he is before the midterms.

Trump deletes Truth Social image depicting him as Jesus: ‘I thought it was me as a doctor’ [CNBC]

I call BS

BSky certainly has bubble attributes but we need to keep our spirits up. Those who want to duke it out can go onto X and have all the verbal fisticuffs they want. It is not clear that changes any minds any more than preaching to the choir does.

We really need Citizens United overturned and dark money out of politics.

The GOP has a different set of standards for itself, rife with hypocrisy.

While it hurts many who are innocent, I'm pleased Canadians are sending an economic message to the US.

Unfortunately, Trump and his grifters probably don't care.

Let's hope, despite evidence to the contrary, that we, as a nation, can learn from Hungary.

Bravo, well done!

We must be patient and focus on flipping both houses of the Congress at the midterms. This must be our prime directive.

Trump's numbers are in the dumpster. Instead of honoring his pledges (no surprise) to put the US first, he's blown up our economy, and the world's, but drawing attention to his ill thought through war on Iran.

But this classic focus on foreigh affairs tactic is blowing up in his face.

That was as well thought out by Trump as the actual war was.

You've got it right.

Let's hope his Catholice MAGAts give more credence to the Pope than to the Grifter-in-Chief.
