Trump says he gave US enemy permission to bomb US military base. “They said, ‘We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?’ I said it’s fine,” Trump said. “And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.” talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

Nate Silver: In our tracking, Trump's approval is at -5, but if we only used polls since Liberation Day, he'd be at -8.5 instead. So that's a pretty significant hit over the span of barely more than a week; he was at -2.5 on 4/1, just before Liberation Day. www.natesilver.net/p/trump-appr...

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

If you have seen “Hidden Figures,” you know about the stories of women like Ethel L. Lee. In 1959, she became the only African American woman on the team helping to build NASA’s first space shuttle. Today we are celebrating her 99th birthday at the Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey!

The US Army has deleted lesson plans, focusing on African American history, Women’s history, and the Civil War, for teacher use with students. Apparently, they don't want students to learn about the men and women buried at one of our most sacred spaces. 🗃️ kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/us-army-de...
