I've been waking up pissed off, and can't get back to sleep. I was looking forward to not having to see his stupid face, or hear his voice anymore, and here we are...

Vivek Ramaswamy wants to start DOGE cuts by eliminating funding for unauthorized programs - including veteran healthcare

If you had any doubt about #trump ‘s dislike of our troops look at this and his pick to head the #DeptOfDefense

#Putin is delighted

Here's a good article detailing how RFK Jr caused a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/how-rfk-jr-falsely-denied-his-connection-to-a-deadly-measles-outbreak-in-samoa/

So, apparently America was great BEFORE modern medicine learned to prevent deadly and debilitating diseases.

A much more extreme Trump regime that is vastly better prepared and will be operating under conditions that are significantly more favorable to its political cause.
 
Doomerism is poisonous. But let’s not be (willfully) naïve about what is likely to come.

Calgary removed fluoride from water only to discover that over time not only did cavities in kids get a lot worse but serious medical issues requiring serious medical intervention also went up dramatically: https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-s-plan-to-reintroduce-fluoride-into-drinking-water-pushed-back-to-2025-1.6845098

It sounds like Thune is open to recess appointments but not set on them yet. https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/13/south-dakota-senator-john-thune-says-recess-appointments-still-an-option-for-trump-cabinet/76265376007/

We can, by contacting our Senators and Representatives demand the full advising and consenting of appointments (and yes, Representatives can add pressure to the Senate to not do recess appointments).

I finally left Musk's platform for good. Here is a very short post about why I was still there and why I won't be there anymore:

Skipping the national security background checks for Trump’s cabinet picks could put American citizens in danger.

I hope media like @MeidasTouch continue to run ads that show how people like #TulsiGabbard should NEVER be in charge of the 18 intelligence agencies.

Run an ad on RFK Jr., that shows how unfit he is to lead Medicare & Medicaid, NIH, CDC etc.

Run an ad on Hegseth showing his disdain for women and a diverse military.

Democrats need to go on the offensive! Be ruthless!

If EU institutions & 27 EU member states do not uphold & enforce the EU's founding values, the entire European Union rests on a rotten foundation.

If they want to preserve our peace & security project, it is high time leaders stand up for its foundation.
