I wrote for my local paper about the real cost of VA budget cuts, not in theory, but in the daily lives of veterans who rely on these services. When care is scaled back, it doesn’t just affect systems. It affects people. #VA #Veterans @votevets.org

Trump’s promise to cut federal funds to sanctuary cities shows a stunning disregard for the Constitution. Courts ruled such actions illegal, citing separation of powers. This isn’t just bad policy; it’s a dangerous overreach of executive authority. Democrats must defend the rule of law. #RESIST

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

Authoritarians often appoint loyalists with little understanding of the organizations they’re tasked to lead. While all presidents make partisan appointments, there’s typically a baseline of relevant experience. This trend undermines the real-world functionality of our government.

They think tariffs are the answer to government funding. This is what the US used primarily until the progressive era when we started taxing income more. They want to go back to a system of small ineffective government living of tariffs that hurt poor and middle class more than the wealthy #bluecrew
