There are so many atrocious things that are happening right now - thanks to this administration. We need an updateable spread sheet to keep track. This is not an atrocity - it's just stupid. Another meaningless distraction. I'm thinking that even the MAGAstan-ese are not buying this crap any more.

Two of my favorite musical artists.

A look back at a special studio moment. While recording his 2013 album Wrote A Song For Everyone, John teamed up with Bob Seger to reimagine “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” a song John wrote in 1970. More than four decades later, its message and melody remained as timeless as ever.

www.pbs.org/newshour/pol... Trump "We're fighting wars......It's not possible for us for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare - all these individual things." Wants to kick it to states? So poor states are screwed? Privatizing maybe? Like Medicare Advantage has worked out so well? Nope!

pbs.orgTrump calls for a major increase in defense spending alongside cuts in domestic spendingThe White House is releasing details of President Donald Trump’s 2027 budget, including a $1.5 trillion defense spending request. That's the largest of its kind in decades.

wapo.st/4aYkbco At last. Small yet momentous victory in these troubled times. Long delay....speaker Johnson "not implementable" - huh? - guess not after all. Lawsuit finally prevailed. Shame that had to be so. The darkness of lies does not like the light of truth. Never forget! 🇺🇲👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🇺🇲

Matters not who or what (left or right) did or did not get upset when Maher compared DJT (or his parentage) to an orangutan years ago, the thing is - Trump himself was very upset......to the point of suing over it! Adds yet another level of incredulity about the racist post about the Obamas.

All you really need to know about James Comey, you can find in this book. Whether you agree with Comey about his actions back in 2016, there is no doubt that this guy is a total Boy Scout. The recent indictment of Comey is nonsensical & vindictive.

The obscenely rich will still be obscenely rich paying an appropriate share that they can well afford. Not just about percentages. To an average person, even a comparatively smaller % rate will take, for them, a huge tangible chunk of their income - affecting their ability to just make ends meet.

Interesting. Bottom line? We should not let AI bots do our reading or our work for us. At best they scored around 70% = D+ on a test exam. (Shared WaPo gift article....Hopefully accessible. If not, most non-subscribers can get 10 free per month.)

wapo.stReview | 5 AI bots took our tough reading test. One was smartest — and it wasn’t ChatGPT.We challenged AI helpers to decode legal contracts, simplify medical research, speed-read a novel and make sense of Trump speeches. Some of the AI analysis was impressive — and some was downright dumb...
