Ever since Trump saw the Bastille Day celebration in Paris, he’s wanted a military style celebration of HIM so since June 14 is his birthday he plans (as of now) a military style parade with at least six thousand soldiers marching. Ewww!

How much of the US federal budget is allocated to AmeriCorps? 0.02% of the 13-digit budget goes to AmeriCorps. Every dollar invested turns into over $17 in economic and community benefits. But we guess DOGE considers that fraud, waste, and abuse.

The Trump administration posted a racist executive order on social media basically stating Americans must speak English. This comes after three young men wearing MAGA hats attacked two men for speaking Spanish. The EO will embolden more MAGA to become vigilantes and act out on this issue.

Trump would not be able to get away with dismantling our form of democracy if the GOP Federally elected So-called leaders would do their work to save our three branches. I believe the GOP is even more at fault than their dear leader.

It’s sickening to hear Trump politicize the airline tragedy at National Airport last night! The loss of life was so very tragic and although Trump READ every word of what someone wrote for him as sympathy for the victims and families, he speculated on the cause of the accident! Disgusting!

Trump refers to DOGE as a government agency! It is simply NOT that! It’s an Advisory Committee and as such, there are rules to be followed. The most important of required rules is representation of all viewpoints! As of now, billionaires only are on deck. We need a true ode to the common man!

Already the banks are panting for no regulations on how much capital they need on hand. Regulations placed in effect after the 2008 recession! An example of Fed Reserve unwilling to exercise their clout, was Silicon Valley who didn’t meet standards and failed in 2023!
