Every one of these people view their positions in the government as an opportunity to cash in on multiple grifts while traveling the world and having a great time at our expense.

🧑‍🌾 🐄 “Life on the farm is stressful… the help situation isn’t getting better… why should we keep going?” A dairy farmer who voted for anti-immigrant Trump complains she can’t find workers — then lashes out when the internet calls her out for voting against her own interests.

Everybody talks about how nothing is affordable anymore but no one talks about how poorly made and disposable things are. Part of the affordability crisis is because we keep repurchasing things, cars, appliances, clothes etc because things don’t last.

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are: 1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled) 2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

People hear "judge" and they assume judicial independence. But the Trump administration has hacked away at immigration judges independence to the point that they can expect to be fired if they don't do the Trump administration's bidding. And the Supreme Court has blessed this loss of autonomy.

Who the heck thinks getting an Iran deal, the JCPOA, was a cakewalk for the Obama administration. It was brutally difficult, included our allies, allowed full disclosure, It was a historic accomplishment for world peace. Trump bitched about it MAGA too and he tore it up. Remember that. 🤬

This is about 10% of California's power sectors emissions. Think about how hard it is to make a grid this size 10% cleaner. That is the amount of work a new fossil plant of this size cancels out. We cannot have new fossil infrastructure if we hope to have a safe climate. There just isn't time.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
“Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object,” a young representative named Abraham Lincoln wrote in 1848. This was “understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us.” This quote, incidentally, is immortalized on the House’s website, if any members of Congress are looking for it.
