7 million Americans protested against Trump’s tyranny on a single day last month. Just thought I’d remind folks since major media seem to think it’s a one-day story and a photo gallery instead of overwhelming evidence that there’s growing mass resistance to the regime.

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.

Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

Trump, Hegseth, and Republicans think their meltdown shows strength, but it’s the opposite. They’re showcasing decorated Democratic veterans like Mark Kelly who make them look small and petty. They should pay more attention to lowering grocery prices than ridiculous threats of court-martialing.

Wait’ll you see insurance premiums.
Average electricity cost increase since Jan:

Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%
Wyoming ⬆️ 23%

NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

Yep- Trump just called Gov Pritzker "a big, fat slob" during the traditional White House Turkey pardoning. And then went on to say he never calls people names.
Not only that, uses this occasion to bloviate about his administration's accomplishments.

Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

Let’s all put Rutger Bregman’s words out there, seeing as how the BBC will not … on advice of counsel.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
