Quote of the day about Trump's words: "It was said of Winston Churchill that he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle. Donald Trump’s trick with the mother tongue is to douse it in gasoline, set it on fire and drop it in a dumpster in the middle of his own parade ground."

While everyone's focused on missile strikes in the Middle East, here's why U.S. organizations need to be on high alert following Trump's ill-advised decisions to weaken our nation's cyber defenses. — from a highly-regarded former U.S. cyber official.

Oh look everything that everyone has ever sad about the antichrist and when fascism comes it will be wrapped in a flag is coming tectonically true in real time while the media attacks trans people

Trump spends more time thinking about what he can put his name on than how he can actually help Americans. And why do we need a $250 bill?

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

Another tirade from a tyrannical wanna-be king: “So we're going to cut off all trade with Spain. I could ... stop everything having to do with Spain, all business having to do with Spain. Do anything I want with it, and we may do that with Spain." WSJ: After Spain declined U.S. access to its bases

Aren’t the very rich already wealthy enough without buying politicians to lower their taxes & enrich themselves even further? Their corporate greed — that pays workers a pittance of their profits— is fueling the growing unrest in America!

Grok-4 “does not meet the safety and alignment expectations required” for general federal use within the General Services Administration and an experimental federal AI platform, said a summary of a GSA report. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

First, we saw the massive disappearance of local newspapers and news stations, creating news deserts across America. Big national media outlets filled the vacuum for a while. Now those media companies are owned by billionaires willing to do Trump's bidding. Viewer beware!!

After years of claiming mainstream media can't be trusted, Trump & his billionaire friends are taking it over to silence the truth. We're seeing the steady poisoning of once great independent news organizations.

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice. Screw the patriarchy. #SaveActTaxesYourVote Call Your Senators 202 202 224-3121 Most important call

Thankfully... yes, this is a huge win for fair elections, but we must assume the GOP will keep trying to stop them.

This post from the Undersecretary of War is EXACTLY why we should be afraid of Hegseth's & Trump's promises, after seeing how blatantly they have NOT adhered to the law... in Venezuela, in Minneapolis, LA, Chicago, etc., and blown off our NATO allies. Thank you, Anthropic, for your courage.

Hegseth said Anthropic has until 5:01 pm today to capitulate in meeting his & Trumps terms. Google and Open AI have a lot at stake in how this shakes out. Let’s hope the hold the line!

This is a hideous betrayal of the country, in exchange for a bribe.

Stand Strong Anthropic! Here's hoping Open AI & other AI companies also hold to Anthropic's AI guardrails. Remember when all the major media firms (including Fox 'News') refused to sign the Pentagon's media terms & walked out of the Pentagon. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Pausing from all the political nonsense to recognize a civil servant who only received credit at the end of her life for her contributions to the creation of GPS. (Thanks, WSJ, for telling her story.) www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

Gee. How did that happen? IRS Civil servants certainly know the law. Clearly they got ordered to do it by a White House that didn’t care about the law.

Klobuchar: "One of the things that most struck me about this State of the Union is that he spent only 2.9 minutes talking about affordability out of an hour and 47 minute speech, and 3.9 minutes talking about healthcare. These are the number one issues on the minds of people."

Given Trump's rambling diatribe of a SOTU, Democrat's chances should continue to improve up to the midterm election.
