A chat with my 15 YO when he was on his way home from school. I don't condone violence, but...

Anyone else just find out about the ice storm in Michigan that happened in March 31? I’ve seen *nothing* in the news — and thousands are still without power. No FEMA? (Is FEMA even still around?)

Just no words for this level of cruelty and enthusiasm for inflicting suffering on the poorest in our society

From Alt National Park Service “…$59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City …” Misleading. NYC received a grant for migrant housing at standard, not luxury, rates.

From Alt National Park Service “…$20 million for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East. It’s a program. $20 million for a program …” False. The main funding came from private foundations, not U.S. government grants.

From Alt National Park Service “…$45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma …” False. The funding was for scholarships in Myanmar, not DEI programs. “…$10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique …” False. It was a public health initiative to reduce HIV/AIDS.

From Alt National Park Service “The appalling waste we have already identified … We found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud.” Unproven. Claims rely on questionable math, miscategorized spending, and false fraud allegations.

From Alt National Park Service “Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control.” Misleading. Egg prices spiked due to bird flu, not Biden’s policies.

From Alt National Park Service “We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years. But perhaps even in the history of our country, they’re not sure.” False. Inflation peaked at 9% in 2022, lower than the 1970s and post-WWII spikes.

From Alt National Park Service “We inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.” False. Trump inherited low unemployment, falling inflation, and strong growth.

Jodi Ireland @irescribe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

From Alt National Park Service “We’ve ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent like me.” False. No evidence Biden directed prosecutors against Trump.

Jodi Ireland @irescribe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

From Alt National Park Service “I have directed that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated.” False. No reliable metric shows Trump cut more regulations than past presidents. Studies found his claims exaggerated.

Jodi Ireland @irescribe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

From Alt National Park Service “We ended the last administration’s insane electric vehicle mandate, saving our autoworkers and companies from economic destruction.” False. Biden promoted EV incentives, not a mandate. Automakers had already committed to EVs due to global trends.

Jodi Ireland @irescribe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

From Alt National Park Service “I withdrew from the unfair Paris Climate accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars.” False. The Paris Accord is nonbinding, and the U.S. set its own commitments. Trump’s cost estimates come from industry-backed studies that ignore benefits.

From Alt National Park Service “100000s+ of illegal crossings a month, and virtually all of them including murderers, drug dealers, gang members and people from mental institutions and insane asylums were released into our country.” False. While crossings were high under Biden, there’s no evidence.

Jodi Ireland @irescribe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

From Alt National Park Service “Illegal border crossings last month were by far the lowest ever recorded.” False. February had about 8,300 border encounters, far from historic lows. In the early 1900s and 1960s, annual crossings were much lower. 2/many

Jodi Ireland @irescribe.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

From Alt National Park Service “We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country 2,700 to 525.” This is misleading. Trump won the popular vote in 2024 but only by a small margin (1.5%), one of the smallest in modern history. 1/many

And if you can, pull back your spending (if you can) in the days leading up to the 28th.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Hey folks in Bluesky-land! Taking the 15 YO to Toronto for Valorant Masters (eSports tournament) in June & then we're headed to Montreal for a few days. Flummoxed! Where should we stay (that won't break the bank) in Montreal? I've got Toronto figured out, but I've never been to Montreal. Help!
