Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters! (Subterranean Homesick Blues, B. Dylan). The hope is to foster independent political thought & civil discourse.

Let's just simplify things.
Trump is purely self serving, and whether the havoc he wreaks is exacerbated or delimited by his own stupidity remains to be seen.

“Is Donald Trump a staunch capitalist, a secret socialist, a blend of the two, or none of the above?” @DKThomp investigates what Trumponomics really is: https://t.co/1WKkPlRZuB

@badwolf70 @billmaher It is "Democratic"
Party" unless it is also the "Republic" party. Willful AND manipulative stupidity is so transparent. Thank G~d I'm not a member of either.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. https://t.co/CbIXDe8UQY

And now it's Thursday!

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

@FiatLuxGenesis @Geiger_Capital There is no argument in this claptrap. Just folderall and fiddledeedee. I bet you could go to another country and become a citizen. Try it.
Please.

[The PolitiCat @AtPolitiCat]

@kaay_lo @ScottPresler "Now" thanks to the ruling?
It has been that way for a while.
Did you "earn" your citizenship?
Do you know the definition of "earn"? Or "honor" or "privilege"? Well maybe the last one...

[The PolitiCat @AtPolitiCat]

How much of Trump's motivation to grift the 1.8 b is to foment another civil war?

Happy Birthday, USA.

Famous "last words"? We'll see...

@mjfree I believe so.
Those gathering at his exit will far exceed those mourning Cheny's. For reasons other than mourning.

@HJNRose1 @TheRickWilson Well, there goes Prof. Nichols' job. It's what truth gets you in the twisted land of trump.

No, not him.

@TheAtlantic @DKThomp How about "stupid"?

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Oh my… Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just corrected Trump’s math on national television, live, and called out his disinformation.

So now y'all are the Environmental Propaganda Agency?
Hmmm.
Catchy.

We can protect human health and the environment while growing the economy. @POTUS’ One Big Beautiful Bill delivers for America by cutting red tape and eliminating wasteful spending while strengthening American energy independence. 🇺🇸
