Pope Francis was the greatest Pope of my lifetime.
I have been trapped in my home for over a month because the flood took out the road. Never got a meal, let alone a dime from FEMA, Red Cross, or any state, federal, or county government! The people will never see a penny from fundraisers--its all about publicity, propaganda, and profiteering.

President Donald Trump has made millions from his family’s cryptocurrency venture, private golf clubs and hawking everything from bibles to watches – as he’s capitalized on his political prominence to expand his business empire, according to financial documents released Friday afternoon.

This is beyond frightening!

Democrats in Washington proposed an amendment that prohibits Federal funds being used to deport Americans. Republicans on the Judiciary Committee voted to KILL the amendment.

Another extremely dark turn by the GOP/Trump Administration.

For decades public media has been a free, invaluable source of news, entertainment, and educational programming for Americans.

But now Donald Trump wants to shut it down. The reason? He doesn’t like the content. This is what authoritarian governments do.
NEW: The president's executive order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other federal agencies “to cease Federal funding for NPR and PBS” and further requires that they work to root out indirect sources of public financing for the news organizations. to.pbs.org/44UvK1B

I just got the official email from the NSF about the drastic cuts and I think the correct translation is "if you are a young researcher who still wants to do science strongly consider leaving the United States if you can." which, really, is not an ideal message to be sending.

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

Trump’s proposed budget slashes billions for essential programs that millions of Americans rely on—just to hand over $1 trillion for military spending overseen by Pete Hegseth and help give massive tax breaks to the wealthy.

Trump promised to cut government spending. The US spent over $200B more in his first 100 days than the Biden admin did this time last year.

For too many people, the status quo wasn’t working. We have to acknowledge that.
