In what should come as no surprise to anyone, Mexico and Canada have already responded to Trump’s insane trade war. For all of you that were so concerned about inflation that you couldn’t bring yourself to vote for a black woman, you’re about to understand the scale of your mistake and your racism. apnews.com

Inauguration Day 2025
Inauguration Day is one of my favorite days on the United States calendar. It is a day that many around the world have never had an opportunity to experience. It is a day that is unique to modern democracies where governments transition from one leader to the next without a gun drawn or shots fired. In most democracies, the new leader received the support of a majority of voters although this is not always true in the United States due election laws that have unfortunately not kept up with the expansion of the country and migration patterns of citizens.
This year is strikingly different than all of the Inauguration Days than I can remember since becoming politically aware as a teen. I will not be watching the events, I will not be listening to the speeches, and I certainly will not be celebrating. I have no desire to listen to a mad man’s distorted and perverted views of a world that only exists in his mind and the minds of the monsters that have his ears. I have no desire to hear about American Carnage 2.0 or the Us versus Them themes that he sprinkles throughout his Mussolini-style bombast.
I remain committed to helping those that need help, caring for those that need care, and supporting people that need support. Being humane. When the reality of what they have done strikes the voters in the Fool-Me-Once and Fool-Me-Twice categories, I hope they refocus their energies on doing what is right for their fellow humans and find strength to ignore those that want to tear us apart.

“If Kehoe calls a special election . . .”? I would certainly hope it is a matter of when a special election will be held. Otherwise, the governor is going to have a lot of unhappy, unrepresented voters in the 95th District.

I spent a little time this evening looking for protests, rallies, events, etc. to try to stop Congress from doing its job tomorrow, but it seems like there’s nothing happening.
Then I remembered that what happened four years ago was completely insane, unprecedented, abnormal, and in many cases, criminal.
That’s who we’ve elected, and I still can’t believe it and will not forget or forgive.

We’re really going to miss leaders like Jon Tester in the Senate. We need serious people in our highest positions, and he, undoubtedly, is a serious person.

Jimmy Carter was the first rock and roll president!

President and First Lady Carter provided glowing examples of how people who have been in any position of power should spend their post-power lives – in service of humanity. To me, this includes political and corporate leaders.
Imagine the possibilities if all of those enriched by their positions contributed to society to the extent that the Carters contributed. What a wonderful world this would be.
Thank you President and First Lady Carter.

It seems like this shouldn’t even be a thing. I have to take compliance courses every year about gifts, bribes, and corruption, but yet here we are reading about corporations openly bribing the future president.
Regardless of party, this just should not be something that happens.
Companies Are Scrambling to Fund Trump’s Inauguration. He’s Keeping Track

It is incredibly important for the health and safety of all Americans and citizens of the world that our health leaders are critical, skeptical, and questioning of the information they consume. That is what we should expect of scientists in charge of our most important agencies. That should be the bare minimum.
The more important skills for these leaders are reasoning and judgment. That is where Dr. Weldon’s history indicates that he falls short. Let’s hope for all of our sakes that the senators responsible for confirmation have these skills in abundance.
