Also, we now know that every company on that list would 100% give money to fund atrocities and crimes against humanity if it got them in good with Trump.

I'm planning to act accordingly.

I think ranchers understand plenty: their livelihoods are threatened by high production input costs, low herd volumes, and tariffs choking the US Farm economy. Maybe it’s the $40 Billion you’re sending to Argentina to prop up its markets that’s got them a little out of sorts, Mr. President.

“It’ll be near it, but not touching it,” President Donald Trump said.

“Nothing will be torn down,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt added.

That turned out not to be the case. https://to.pbs.org/4hoL230

9 things to know about the $250 million ballroom Trump is adding to the White House

The 90,000-square-foot ballroom will dwarf the main White House itself, at nearly double the size, and Trump says it will accommodate 999 people.

Effective October 1, no more telehealth for medicare for anything other than behavioral health services.

It’s so stupid. Most people on medicare are the ones that have mobility issues.

Nothing like them making it harder

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

From Byron Ballard’s Facebook Page: It's hard to hold in your heart, I know. But it all has to come down for the clean up and rebuilding. The East Wing is also a metaphor for that--the destruction that clears the way. None of us will be unaffected. We all must be preparing, every one of us in the ways we are called.

Last year, before the flood, Ginger and I asked you to look at Project 2025 and respond with your wants and desires for the nation.

I'm asking you the same thing now. Instead of doomscrolling in fear and a sick excitement, pick one area and ponder your ideas for it.

How would you educate children? What sort of infrastructure would you create to deliver healthcare? What would a path to US citizenship look like? If you ran the street department in your town, how would you decide which pothole to fix first?

Pretend you have the power. Because you do. We all do.

Summon the Fire Witch.

My slumlord made the news! Pinnacle isn’t paying its mortgages or ConEd bills, but it *IS* paying Israeli bond-holders. 11 buildings out of 80+ in bankruptcy proceedings got power shut-off notices for common areas, which includes the elevators

Hell Gate *subscribe today!* @hellgatenyc.com · 5h

"I went ballistic," said one longtime tenant of a Crown Heights building where power was cut, owing to to Pinnacle's $10,350 in unpaid bills. "We have tenants here that are very sick, in their 80s and 90s, that need the ambulance to come and take them up and down the steps."

Bankrupt Pinnacle Group Is Leaving Its Tenants in the Dark—Literally

The real estate behemoth apparently isn't paying the power bills for at least 11 of its properties, and Con Ed cut power to some of them.
