@aprildryan.bsky.social points out what no one is asking about Trump’s federal military crackdown: “How much is this costing the American taxpayer? There is a cost to this in cities where the crime rate has dropped”

Last year, Illinois abolished requiring prior authorization for inpatient mental health care — and now, we're extending it to outpatient care. Patients and their doctors should be in control of decisions about their care, not insurance companies.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been handed over to a private company. In an oligarchy, control of national assets is privatized. The US DoE web site says this contract was awarded after a "rigorous competitive selection process". How stupid do they think we are? oilprice.com/Latest-Energ...

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

We've been looking for some response to Trump from Europe, but in reality, African and South America, which both have close ties to China, may be where we see the stiffest resistance.

This is, IMO, most interesting ¶ of Colombian President Gustavo Petro's response to Trump. There's a lot going on, including Petro's invocation (w/mention of Aurelianos Bunedía of GGM's 100 Years of Solitude), which I hope others explain in more length. He's suggesting he has outside allies.
Así que si conoce alguien terco, ese soy yo, punto. Puede con su fuerza económica y su soberbia intentar dar un golpe de estado como hicieron con Allende. Pero yo muero en mi ley, resistí la tortura y lo resisto a usted. No quiero esclavistas al lado de Colombia, ya tuvimos muchos y nos liberamos. Lo que quiero al lado de Colombia, son amantes de la libertad. Si usted  no puede acompañarme yo voy a otros lados. Colombía es el corazón del mundo y usted no lo entendió, esta es la  tierra de las mariposas amarillas, de la belleza de Remedios, pero tambien de los coroneles Aurelianos Buendía, de los cuales soy uno de ellos, quizás el último
So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. *If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere.* Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last.

My GUESS is that Xi Jinpeng has given Petro assurances that China will replace US purchasing of Colombian goods--primarily coffee and also flowers. And that's a way to alert Trump that China has means to sway South America (which has long been obvious but Trump has shoddy advisors).

The prayer that Mike Johnson attributed to Thomas Jefferson did not come from Jefferson. It came from a 1928 Episcopal prayer book. But the idea that *Jefferson* said it; that it is evidence the US was founded as a “Christian nation” … hoo boy where *that* came from is … well not surprising actually
