I have had a checkered career in the technology industry, where I have spent most of my time explaining complex concepts to people in ways that they can put them to practical use. Now that I am more or less retired, I still try to explain things.

President Trump and his Administration have nothing but contempt for rule of law. They use it as a cudgel against their opponents, but ignore the laws and court decisions when it suits them. ❌❌❌ STOP THE COUP! ❌❌❌

Fox News: "I don't want my government spying on me." As much as Americans want affordability, I believe that we all -- red or blue -- want a government that we can trust.

As reported by @penncapital-star.com: "Government investigators Thursday released a report that found the Department of Homeland Security wasted more than $20 million in federal funding in its rapid expansion of immigration detention...." Waste. Fraud. Abuse. President Trump's top accomplishments.

Yes, diesel prices are way up due to the higher cost of oil. This is impacting agriculture, trucking and construction. But you know what else will go up? Heating oil. And the states along our border with Canada are heavy users. And the weather is getting cold, just in time for the midterms. FAFO!

If the White House press corps would be banned for reporting lies, they wouldn't be able to cover most of what President Trump says. #justsaying

Why is South African Elon Musk and his PAC trying to influence our elections, especially in the Texas Senate race? I doubt that he has our country's best interests at heart. (Remember DOGE?) He's a citizen of the U.S., Canada, AND South Africa. Do you think that he's actually loyal to the U.S.?

Solar Power Is Getting So Cheap That It's Almost Unbelievable
The cost of solar panels has dropped to just a few cents per watt, thanks to a massive supply of photovoltaics flooding the market.

I used to defend the Electoral College, but no longer. The protection of small-population states has been taken to its illogical extreme. I encourage you to support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...), especially if your state has not joined.

Of the 120 million or so US households that watch TV, fewer than 25 million actually pay attention to the ads, according to a study (allaboutcookies.org/streaming-ad...). Still the major political parties still spend hundreds of millions on TV ads. Who are they reaching; does it change the outcome?

As much as Americans want affordability, I think what we want most of all is to have government at all levels that we can trust to have our best interests in mind. We want government that we can trust: - to protect our food and water supplies, /1

Remember that prior to being elected, President Trump dealt with losses by stiffing his creditors and by declaring bankruptcy. Neither approach is recommended for sovereign nations.

Not so shocking, at least to me. How many times has President Trump told us that Iran's leaders were "begging" to make a peace deal? This is just one more example of President Trump's magical thinking: if you say it, it will become true.

Why? Because in America, we take care of each other, even when people make poor choices. Our country NEEDS a strong agriculture industry. It is key to domestic and international success. When it stumbled, a "bail-out" is also an investment in the future. Take the long view. And be compassionate.

Another MAGA economics wizard! What happens when the demand reduction is caused by deporting the cheap labor responsible for construction, agriculture, health care, hotel and restaurant services, and much more? COSTS go up much faster than any demand reduction can offset.

We pay each House Representative about $2.2 million every year. What value are we getting in return for our money? It seems that mostly we pay them to go home and try to get reelected, instead of actually governing or passing legislation.

Mid-term elections are almost here. EVERY DEBATE MUST ASK BOTH CANDIDATES ONE QUESTION: "Who won the 2020 Presidential election?" Voters need to know which candidates have the integrity to answer truthfully.

As reported by @punchbowlnews.bsky.social: NRCC Chair Richard Hudson: “It’s up to the speaker, but I’ve always said the work we do at home is more important than the work we do here.” Translation: It is more important to get elected than to actually govern. Our country deserves so much better!

We spend about $2.2 million PER YEAR on every U.S. House Representative. That comes to about $1 BILLION per year. What value are we getting for these taxpayer dollars? Fewer than 40 bills were signed into law last year, and it looks like the House won't be in session much until mid-November.
