“Trump has a history of heart disease yet habitually releases medical records lacking any useful details. His personal physician when he first ran for president later admitted Trump outright dictated the memo declaring that he would be ‘the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.’ In 2020, he and his team hid the seriousness of his Covid infection from the public. His assurances of his cognitive and physical health amount to ‘trust me.’

Trump praised Walz before he condemned him.
Then: "I know Gov. Walz is on the phone, and we spoke, and I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days," Trump said on the June 1, 2020, call, adding that Walz was an "excellent guy."
That didn’t age well 😂

“ On Monday, a federal judge ruled that Alphabet’s GOOG GOOGL Google search business is a monopoly and that it is in violation of Section 2 of the federal Sherman Act through exclusionary contracts in its distribution agreements. The case had a few similarities to the government’s antitrust case against software giant Microsoft Corp. MSFT in the late 1990s, but could even be more far-reaching.”
Good!

today’s autocrats work together to undermine democracy. Those people believe they are owed power, they deserve power. When they lose elections, they come back in a second term and say, right, this time, I'm not going to make that mistake again, and…then change their electoral system, or…change the constitution, change the judicial system, in order to make sure that they never lose.

The judicial system is “there for the moments when, when the spotlight’s on you, when the government’s coming after you, and don’t you want a ferociously independent judge and a jury of your peers to make those decisions?” Gorsuch added.
“And so I just say, be careful,”
There is a difference between an independent judiciary and one that is power grabbing to the point the believe they are the last word.
That’s where we are today. They believe they can overrule Congress.

Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.
Many self-avowed 'critical thinkers', especially on Twitter, seem to not think critically.
