No more shoulder-shrugging when a machine programmed by a person commits a crime. That means the person, not the machine, has committed a crime.

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

NEW: Hegseth and Trump are lying about how many troops have been killed in their war. The DoD website says 14. The actual number is 23 or 24 according to multiple DOD officials 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

Trump is a toxic waste dump of the worst of human character. His greed, corruption, ego, stupidity, arrogance, cruelty, prejudice, and active contempt for virtue, the law and people are manifest daily in ways that are destroying our institutions and our country. And he is getting worse daily.

Economists are noticing something very weird going on with BLS job creation: surprisingly positive numbers are announced, and then consistently corrected downwards sixty days later. This is too consistent to be a likely bona fide error.
