If this is the “greatest economy in the history of the world,” as Donald Trump claims, God help us.

Oh, poor wee babbies. No more they deserve.
Ending today with a bit of good news.
Turns out that telling the military not to break the law is...not breaking the law. Glad a grand jury could clear that up.
Goodnight 💚

I know you mean well, but can we leave gender out of it? Saying a female reporter needs defending due to her sex is almost as bad as Cheesus harassing her because she's female.
ICE arrested a teenage boy—an American citizen—at gunpoint, with no warrant and no reason. He was later released.
Know your rights.
📍 Don’t open the door.
📄 Ask for a judge-signed warrant.
🚪 No warrant = no entry.
🤐 Stay silent.

We can't find money to cover Americans' health care, but we can fund Kegsbreath's trip to pretend he's a soldier. Precisely the hypocrisy of this administration.
50501. Hope you're all showing up at your local event.
vtdigger.org/2025/10/06/i.... Very loose, open-to-interpretation language: keeping an eye on “individuals who pose a danger to national security, risk public safety or otherwise meet ICE enforcement priorities.” Big Brother's watching!!
Well, they've passed Cheesus' HR1. We are so fucked.
Time for the 25th Amendment to kick in.
Why aren't we seeing this all over MSN, CNN and the other major outlets? Could they be covering their asses to avoid controversy? Inquiring minds ... www.reuters.com/world/us/rio...
Anyone else going to the May Day demonstration in Bennington 5/1?
TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Trump just refused to rule out seeking an unconstitutional third term, claiming “there are methods” for him to stay in office.
“I’m not joking... A lot of people would like me to.”
The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer.
Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.
Worth watching. Orange Cheesus, a convicted felon, continues to break the law and disregard the Constitution. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf for fear of not being reimbursed. 7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to me. 8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has been allegedly implemented to preserve such access. 9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security systems.
The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO. “People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.
DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.
Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.
NEW:
“Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

The problem with Musk didn’t start with Trump. But given Musk has significant government contracts now has unchecked power as an unelected head of a made-up “agency” here’s a little refresh from a @WSJ story from October. Pay attention people.

I watched the whole thing. The pardons are one of the most egregious uses of power, not to mention disregard for those injured and traumatized, that I believe I have ever seen.
The Heinous Orange BabyMan pardoned roughly 1500 J6 rioters, which will make them even more loyal to him. It's almost like he's building his own militia ...
Does your Warmblood tree fit that description? And can I find out more about fitting options you offer for horse and rider?
So we have a convicted felon going into the White House. We have a talking head with an alleged substance abuse problem tapped for head of the military. We have a dog and goat killing sycophant being vetted for the head of DHS (if we're ever invaded by farm animals, we should be fine).
Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr.
Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.
I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it.
His response?
"No sir."
Something that's broad across the pommel arch and wider between the rails. I see a LOT of horses over here built quite like the UK's native ponies: propane tank with 4 legs and a tail.
Do you folks offer a hoop/dome tree?
My first time growing sunflowers. Some kinks to work out, but a worthy start.
