It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

In this essay I compile what I imagine is a checklist of things to do to unravel America's global influence that Putin gave to Trump when he was elected, and that our leader has been working his way through over the past 10 months. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/both-sane-...

Trump and his family are in business with Russia and the Gulf Arab states to loot and plunder, and destroy the West and our democracies along the way. It's Bond Villain level stuff, and we should be fighting it with everything we got. bsky.app/profile/carl...

Son-in-Law Watch: When he’s not brokering geopolitical surrenders in meetings with Putin, he’s financing global media consolidation.

MEMPHIS: “Local environmental groups to address a public hearing for xAI’s air pollution permit… Musk installed 35 methane-gas turbines but only submitted permits to operate 15… advocates claim turbines pose a significant health concern for Memphians…” wreg.com/news/local/x...

The Judges are performing their constitutional duty & following the law. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same thing about the Justice Department in this regard.

U.S. Southern Command X account for Latin America/Caribbean pictures a Jerusalem Cross - but no American flag - on this image. The Trump administration is following Project 2025 blueprint for Christian nationalist regime change, unchecked by the two other branches of government.

Same Supreme Court said Biden was overreaching when he tried to cancel student loan debt. This Court must be reformed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The big corporate farmers will likely get taken care of, but "the mythical family farmer" is likely to come up short

But, unlike regular people, the farmers get a bailout. The people get screwed every time.

How's that saying go? "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me *twice*, shame on me" Suckers got played, and then, they voted to get played *again* United States of Dumbasses...

Same headline. Seven years apart. 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Farmers: Where’s MY bailout?! Dementia president: Here you go! Farmers, later: Where’s MY bailout?! Dementia president: Here you go!

On Sunday, US lawmakers released the annual defense policy bill authorizing a record $901 billion in national defense spending in 2026. The bill was somehow $8 billion more than Trump requested, and bans transgender women from competing in sports at military universities.

These children will carry lifelong trauma. This is unconscionable.

"'They all were scared, crying... they were pointing with the guns not to move,' he said. He said all four are U.S. citizens..." www.kare11.com/article/news...

WTAF, how is any judge or adult in the courtroom allowing this to happen? Not one will stand up to protect these children? Shameful 😡😢

"After her hearing ended, three-year-old Lucy cuddled her teddy bear as she walked back from the lawyer’s table and took a seat. Moments later, the next child was called up to face the judge..." coppercourier.com/2025/12/05/c...

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen. “I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...” She screamed “Leave me alone...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump can despicably hide the facts, but we can all feel the consequences of his failed economic action and inaction.

They see the writing on the wall and don't want to spend all of 2027-28 in the minority defending Trump from investigations and impeachment.

Alina Habba was first ruled to be playacting as US Attorney on August 21 (though she had already been playacting at that point since July 1). So taxpayers have paid for Alina to pretend she's US Attorney for 109 days.

"As Virginia Democrats weigh a new congressional map, how ambitious will the party be? House Speaker Don Scott says gaining four new Democratic seats 'is not out of the realm' of possibility. That would create a map in which the GOP holds one of Virginia’s 11 seats..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

And so the cycle continues: Trump wrecks the market with his own policies, then uses taxpayer money to bail out the damage, and somehow sells it back to voters as a win. Truly exhausting.

Is it too much to hope that Congress is regrowing some backbone? Baby steps here, but important ones. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Style guide: Alina Habba is not STEPPING DOWN. She is ending her unlawful charade that she is US Attorney.

In other words, Trump is planning to provide socialist welfare to people who voted for him after he ruined their businesses with his stupid tariffs. But you can't have medicine, food, or ACA supplements.

Biden inherited a mess from Trump. You didn't hear him be a whiny baby about it every day in the news. Maybe trump should put on the big boy pants and do his job. HAHAHA, Yeah that will never happen. 🤣

Thanks largely to Trump's tariffs:

✅ SANITY CHECK ✅ Do you remember ONE YEAR AGO this week, when The Economist magazine declared our economy "the envy of the world"? Now, we rip farmers out of the world market with tariffs, and at the same time give other countries billions of taxpayer dollars, who were our direct competitors ... ?

groceries prices 2025 vs 2024 The average price of food in the United States rose by 3.1% in the 12 months ending September 2025, after posting an annual increase of 3.2% in August 2025. According to the Consumer Price Index 2024 review, food prices increased 2.5%,

Prices have gone up since January.

Soooo it’s a hoax but he’s fixing it….🤪

Trump: "We inherited a mess. Affordability, but you can call it affordability or anything you want, but the Democrats caused the affordability problem and we're the ones that are fixing it. So it's a very simple statement. They caused it, we're fixing it."

this pretty much guarantees months and months of performative bullshit by Trump and Ellison and right wing media about how Netflix ownership would be a woke antitrust nightmare, but letting Larry and his nepobaby son dominate U.S. media would be a delightful, populist spritzer

weird how this keeps happening, huh? www.newsfromthestates.com/article/gop-...

Tyson also cut 1761 jobs from it's Amarillo, TX plant effective 1/26.

■ This is emblematic of corporate America greed! ■ They have RECORD profits. RECORD stock price. They have so much profit, they don't know what to do with the excess cash, so they buy their stock. ■ $1 Trillion in stock buybacks in 2024! They should be illegal. tinyurl.com/4ef7nyc3

• Beef packer profits: HIGHEST since 2022 • Tyson stock: UP 7% • Beef prices near record highs for you and me •Cattle prices for ranchers: DOWN 3.4% Tyson Executives get richer. Tyson workers, ranchers, and the rest of us get screwed. Monopoly capitalism 101.

Tyson Foods over the last few months: • Approved 43 MILLION shares in stock buybacks • Spent $196 million buying back its own stock to juice up the price • Announced closure of Lexington plant: 3,200 workers in a town of 11,000 people Then what happened?

During World War II, nearly 120,000 women joined the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps, serving a crucial role in hospitals across the country. It’s about time we recognize these women for their patriotic service. I have a bill to honor them and provide them with honorary veteran status.

From the president who brought you, "if we don't test, there's no more spread, so slow down the testing!" Now comes, "if we don't report higher inflation, it doesn't exist. Stop with the bad reports!"
