America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.
I'm aware of a guy who came to the US on a student visa, dropped out of school and then worked illegally. Then he started tampering with Federal elections and is grifting the government for profitable contracts. His name is Elon Musk.
I was elected in 2010 with Kristi Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain.
She like so many others, is now broken

The Trump administration’s war on science is slashing funding, shutting down labs, and driving top researchers overseas. The cost? Medical breakthroughs, technological innovation, and America’s future. My latest
Elon Musk must pay a heavy price for what he has done.
The American people and free people everywhere have the power to destroy the economic value of his companies and reduce them to dust. This is what must be done to preserve the Union, and send a message about what will never, ever be tolerated again.
Peaceful protests and economic boycotts are the key to defeating MAGA and Trump during these crucial two years as we await their crushing rebuke in mid-term elections.

The spirit of the times seems to be demands for reinvigorated grand strategies and 5 year plans as everyone from the United States to Europe and beyond are arguing for industrial planning, supply chain redesign, and military build-up.

Check out my new post!….. Woody?… it has been a long time. I thought this might interest you. What a beautiful backdrop to the “Letters to the President”… who knows, … maybe 2005 or 06.
Also, I have wanted to mention to you for years… I have walked by a house in Wicker Park, Chicago for many years and saw your work prominently featured on the wall through their picture window
They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

The IRS could collect $500 billion LESS in tax revenue this year due to DOGE cuts to the agency. A big chunk of that will come from the rich underpaying their taxes. Meanwhile, only $7.7 billion of DOGE "savings" can actually be verified. So much for efficiency.
If anyone has not seen the International coverage of what happened, which was much more graphic than what most of the US Mainstream News originally aired, be warned it is difficult to watch if you love this country.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that Donald Trump is an insurrectionist. He’s an illegitimate president. When our 6 corrupt supreme court justices deemed Trump did not commit an insurrection, when he clearly did, that there made those 6 justices part of Trump's insurrection, which makes them insurrectionists. It's called aiding and abetting an insurrectionist.
The most violent that day, those who were offensively gleeful as they stormed the building, each person who HUNTED the VP that day, and all who chanted that he be hanged are absolutely among those that I wrote about in this other thread who are too deeply indoctrinated to ever bring back to reality again.
These are the men and women, I believe, who are going to kill and torture the greatest number of innocents when he orders them to do so.
If left unchecked, this monster is going to declare martial law before we reach 2026.
Sadly, a portion (will not jump to assuming a majority, but definitely a significant fraction) of the MAGA base does understand that he has given himself and will keep the powers of a King.
But they still believe he loves them. They are flattered and in awe of his takeover because “OH HOW LUCKY AND LOYAL AND GOOD AM I THAT OUR KING LOVES …
