Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. This is a transparently corrupt, impeachable offense. When Trump is removed from office his actions and entire executive legacy must be expunged from the government.

Not great!

This 15-story data tower in the heart of the Amazon collects vital climate data that is shared with Americans in California and across the country. The Trump Administration can ignore reality and worsen the climate crisis, but California will never stop fighting for our future.

The book cited here is well worth a read. It’s called ‘How They Broke Britain’. Extraordinary to think that any new epilogue would now have to include Jeffrey Epstein.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

The "Streisand Effect" is taking hold because Trump is STILL whining about Ontario's commercial, which accurately highlighted Reagan's contempt for tariffs. Everyone now realizes that Reagan hated tariffs, loathed Trump's policies, and knew they'd backfire, eventually. Cry harder, Trump! 😆

It's a good idea if you're health insurance is though the ACA, to get your annual exam and blood work and vaccination done before the end of the year. Especially if you think you might have to cancel due to price increases.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Remember that Pam Bondi, the current U.S. Attorney General, was previously registered as a foreign agent for the government of Qatar while working as a lobbyist for the firm Ballard Partners. Just a coincidence?? Hell no.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

People who have studied the downfall of democracy in other countries recognize exactly what is happening in the U.S. The parallels are unmistakeable; the only difference is the speed - we are going *faster*. apnews.com/article/trum...
