RED STATES SWEEP THE TOP TEN! . . . of U.S. States with the WORST Quality of Life, with book-banning TN snaring the coveted Worst in Show: www.cnbc.com/2025/07/14/a... OK, I guess Georgia counts as a "Battleground" State, but the other 9 are deep red.
cnbc.com
These states are America’s worst for quality of life in 2025
Quality of life considerations like crime rates, health and child care availability, and air quality dictate where people live, and where businesses locate.

Something I haven't heard mentioned with all the action in LA is this: Why the hell would anyone with even the slightest concern about their residency status in the U.S. be showing up anywhere ICE is likely to target? And if they do show up, can ICE get to them before they get warned?

Mayor Pete tops Kamala Harris in New Poll! And with me as well 😁 www.masslive.com/politics/202...

New poll shows who Dems want in 2028 — and it’s not Kamala Harris
The poll finds that the former Vice President and Democratic candidate for 2024 isn't the top pick for Democrats going into 2028.

Regarding Harvard . . . There are scions of loads of heavy hitters at Harvard, both domestic and international. If Trump defunds the school and basically ejects 100% of the foreign students, exactly how many powerful people is he going to piss off? And what are they going to do in response?

This is the reality of Qatar's "gift" to the USA and to Trump personally. Chances are excellent Trump would never ride in it, and presumably all upgrades would be left in the plane when his "library" gets it after his term (thankfully) ends. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
nbcnews.com
Turning Qatari 747 into Air Force One could cost $1 billion and take years, experts say
Taxpayers would likely foot the bill to retrofit President Trump's new jet, which could be more than twice the plane's $400 million value.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Maybe someone has made this observation already, but it just occurred to me . . . The Trump Administration, right now, is doing to the entire Federal Government what the rioters did to the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021. All we need is a shaman costume on Elon Musk and the analogy is complete.
