I had high hopes that somehow, we'd survive as a Democracy... Is there NO legal way to stop this guy??? I humbly beseech the Universe to PLEASE do what America seems unable to accomplish: STOP our descent into a remake of 1930s Germany & dictatorship!

16 Trucking Companies Just Went Bankrupt in 30 Days
At least 16 U.S. trucking and logistics companies have filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the past month. The freight sector is under serious pressure.
Soaring diesel prices are the biggest culprit. Rising insurance rates, equipment maintenance, and labor costs are piling on. Some carriers filed Chapter 11 to restructure their debt and keep trucks rolling.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

Putin shows no sign of stopping the war as Russia doubles down on Ukraine
When Vladimir Putin arrived to address Russia's parliament on Wednesday, a warm welcome was guaranteed. "The Special Election Operation", as one Russian newspaper dubbed last month's legislative vote, has produced a State Duma even more pro-Putin than anything before it. The ruling party, United Russia, now has more MPs than ever. It allows the Kremlin to claim it has been handed a huge mandate from the Russian people. But for what? How will Putin use it? Are there any signs he is prepared to halt what he calls the special military operation? Or should we brace for further escalation in Ukraine and in tensions with Europe? On Thursday I'll be watching to see whether Russia's leader sheds light on his plans during an appearance at the Valdai Discussion Club in Moscow. Traditionally the president's speech at this annual foreign policy forum provides insight into Putin's world view. Right now, everything points to Putin continuing Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine: despite his country's huge battlefield losses to date and the damage being done to Russia's economy. Putin's speeches and statements suggest he remains confident that Russia can secure a military victory. Judging by what is being reported in Russian media, Moscow...
