From CBS News: 'Trump announces plans for largest steel plant in U.S. history to be built in Iowa' 'It's not clear why the steel plant is in Iowa, instead of Minnesota, closer to the iron ore mine. ' "And they're going to <...> a place called Iowa. I love Iowa. I won Iowa every time," said Trump.

Measles Are Going Around Wisconsin! "With 21 more cases added between Sept. 22 and Sept. 25, there have now been 192 measles cases in Wisconsin in 2026, data from the state Department of Health Services show. " "All but one case involve people who have not been vaccinated." Thanks, RFK Jr.!

So, the Trump Abomination has defunded PBS, NPR and VoA, and is now subsidizing Fox News, Newsmax, and CBS with our tax dollars?

From TNR: Donald Trump’s deputy assistant Kaelan Dorr described the need for such a platform on X shortly after its launch, lamenting that “the press, in some cases, reported inaccurately or not at all on the Administration’s many record breaking accomplishments on behalf of all Americans.” 1/2

New York State Gubernatorial candidate sounds like mini-Trump: He's going to halve our utility bills-by fracking. He's against solar and wind. He thinks American elections are rigged. He's pro data-centers and against transpersons. He's 'tough on crime' but OK with the Trump Crime Family.

I just listened to an NPR segment about an undocumented woman whose US citizen son needed urgent medical care. She was afraid of driving, of using public transport, of going to the hospital, out of fear of ICE. What it reminded me is the stories of 1930s Germany. "Papers, please."

Just a reminder that, as Trump destroys our country, that every Republican lawmaker shares the guilt. We cannot make the same mistake we made with Reconstruction. Postwar Germany is a better model for the future.

So, reports are saying Iran destroyed about 30 Reaper drones on the ground in the Middle East. At $30 million each, that's close to $1 billion; it's probably going to cost more than that to replace them, especially in a hurry. I realize we can't move buildings and airstrips, but should this happen?

Personally, I want to see Trump's name on buildings all across America. I want to see big signs: "Men's Trump" "Woman's Trump" I want to hear: "Watch my beer, I have to go take a Trump."

Whenever I see a username containing "Truth", "Patriot", Freedom", "Liberty" or "Common Sense" , I know there's a 98% chance the poster is, at best, an idiot, and at worst some kind of foreign disinformation bot.

At one time, it would have been unthinkable for the President of the US to lie about what he did on 9/11/01. Today, the media are featuring articles along the lines of "Donald Trump's 6 Biggest 9/11 Lies" and nobody bats an eye. America has fallen just like the towers.
