Trump continues to run away from Project 2025 - but he knows - he's just lying about where we go in a Trump 2.0 world.

The other woman that I learn from every day. Along with Vivian, she's my favorite Vance.

Where does the documents case go now? A good study by Joyce Vance:

I take no joy in what happened on Saturday night. I never can support crazy people with guns, no matter who they have in their sights. When America decided it was okay to slaughter six year olds with AK47s, this type of behavior is the next logical step. I wonder if those legislators that wear a weapon pins on their lapels will reconsider the message that they're sending. Sadly, probably not.

People are no longer free to share this on Zuckerberg's fascist app. He's taking it down.
Thankful for COSO! Here is a very complete American Autocracy Threat Tracker.

The right has stolen our flag and perverted its meaning. Now they're trying to claim credit for bills that fund infrastructure projects in their districts that they themselves voted against. They mimic the soul of the man who leads them.

Smart article. Lots of questions that need to be asked.

This week Joe Biden met with NATO leaders and Ukraine's Zelensky. This week Donald Trump spent time with his good buddy and fellow autocrat Turkey's Viktor Orban. They share a friendship with Vlad Putin. There's a very clear difference in the company these two candidates keep.

Listen to him! Go Joe!
Interesting numbers:
According to Statista, corporate profits in the U.S. have grown significantly since 2000, when they totaled $786 billion, to around $3.5 trillion in 2022. In the final quarter of 2023, corporate profits after taxes stood at $2.8 trillion, which is a $105 billion increase from the previous quarter. This means that corporate profits accounted for about 10% of the total quarterly GDP.
This election has far reaching consequences for countries around the globe. We can't afford to have alliances that have kept us safe for decades fall by the wayside.

Does the end justify the means?

"The crisis Biden revealed to the world last week is not about age. It’s about courage."
Great article that speaks to the unspoken part of our culture the last ten years and probably further.

Stunned - Trump lied. Project 25 is as close to a platform as Republicans get in the age of Trump. He never heard of it? Right.

This article should have been a lead story in the WAPO - it was buried in the Arts section.

Who's stunned? Trump court acts just like Trump court.
Flew in from that other place. Very Glad to be here, people are central to social media that works.
