Trump supporters have their guy as President, complete control of Congress, a weaponized SCOTUS, FBI, and DOJ, and they're still outraged. That's because MAGAs are inherently miserable people who will never understand joy. That, and deep down they know their guy is a moron.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.

A powerful ocean scene shows waves crashing against a row of buildings under a dark, stormy sky. Overlaid in bold white text: “How much would you pay to protect your coast?”

A square graphic with an aerial view of swirling ocean currents in teal and blue. Bold white text reads: “Only $21/year from the average taxpayer helps fund NOAA.”

A square infographic with a dark stormy ocean background. The white header text reads: “Your $21 funds these essential services.” Below are six dark blue boxes, each with a white icon and label:
1. Coastal Mapping – Detailed charts of shorelines, navigation hazards, and more
2. Weather Monitoring – Vital data for tracking storms, extreme heat, and drought
3. Marine Resource Management – Conservation of ocean life and sustainable fisheries
4. Coastal Resilience – Infrastructure that withstands storms and rising seas
5. Storm Research – Studies of severe weather patterns and impacts

The graphic uses clean lines, oceanic tones, and emphasizes the small taxpayer cost for these vital environmental services.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
