Modi must be incredibly desperate to "shake hands" with Putin, the scourge of the planet.

Just think what would happen to the CEO of a major corp if he/she were to make such a batshit fraudulent statement about company earnings projections. The corp could easily go bankrupt from endless legal charges.

Why do we continue with this Union when our "co-equals" want to tramp out the very foundations it is built on and subjugate us to their will. We Blues would be so much better off not subsidizing Reds. Perhaps it's time we went our separate ways.

Dems seem to be divided. Some want what Robert outlined; others, like Biden and his ilk, want to appease the Right, let Big Business drive the bus. Look at 2008 for example. Fraudsters, instead of jail, got richer than ever. Instead of universal health care we got ACA. That's why Dems lost in 2016!

Dems seem to be divided on what's important and how to proceed. Take the 2008 banking crisis, for example. Instead of principals of that fraud going to jail, they got bailed out. Now they are wealthier than ever! Instead of universal health care we got a watered down program. That's why Dems lost.

You presume that Republicans have a sense of decency--they do not! Anyone that might have been has been drummed out. The remaining dregs are incapable of empathy or anything resembling functional human beings. The GOP today is a club of parasites incapable of living on their own volition.

If Putin's logic for dominion over Ukraine were taken further, Ukraine and Russia should belong to the Scandinavians. The name "Russia" is derived from the swedish word russ, referring to rowing. The Vikings rowed all over central Europe long before Russia existed.

The SCOTUS, that is 6 of its 9 members, by allowing the dissolution of the Dept of Educ, a body created by Congress, by mere executive order, has de facto declared the US Constitution irrelevant. The SCOTUS, based on this decision, is, therefore, also irrelevant!

It makes you wonder why Trump et al would do such a thing. Who does it really benefit? Do they actually think that the US economy and their investments will thrive without high quality science? The only rational explanation is that Trump is gutting the US for some external power that he supports.

I'm curious as to the content of the actual contract between the US and El Salvador. Does it, for example, violate US law in regards to treatment of prisoners? Are there "side deals" or kickbacks that reflect less than an arms length business deal?

The states are where the rubber will meet the road! Without funding, the federal government will collapse and Mr Trump will be a paper tiger. I'd like to see the Left Coast, New England & other northern states join Canada. Think how much better off we'd be without the orange turd and his minions.

Deputizing Musk's security goons is tantamount to having a private group of thugs who are not working under the law like law enforcement officers do, but rather serving outside of government interests.

It's outright theft to reduce Medicare benefits that we have already paid for! And it is much cheaper and more fair to treat Medicaid recipients than to stick it to the providers, who will pass those costs on to us. A single payer system is a better solution.

Not only will corporations pay substantially less in taxes, we middle class non-corporate types will pay substantially more in taxes, not just for what we get but also for what the corporations get. It's our civil society and government structure that makes it possible for corps to exist! WTF!!!

Do whatever you can in fed courts but perhaps looking to state laws and courts might be a better way to take a bite out of Trump's ass. Aggressively prosecute any of his minions who cross into state legal territory. Even certain "red" states might be able to apply serious damage to them.

What documentation, if any, does Musk have to interfere with government operations? Who signed these documents and what do they say exactly. The doggy outfit he claims gives him authority, DOGE, doesn't exist, except in Trump's delusional mind. Musk needs to be stopped until legal docs are avail.
