John Fetterman appears to have developed Major Neurocognitive Disorder as a result of his stroke. My heart goes out to his wife and kids. Something similar happened to my own father and for a long while the man who raised me vanished. While my dad made a full recovery I sincerely doubt that Fetterman will ever recover. This is horrible. #uspol #JohnFetterman #usa https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/john-fetterman-struggle-mental-health-clinical-depression.html
Trump's big budget cuts will devastate a lot of people while giving Musk $1 billion for his Mars pet project. Unless you are a multi-millionaire, you will feel them or the effects of them and your safety will be at risk. This is not hyperbole. The cuts are listed below in the PDF
Big cuts to #NOAA, heating and housing programs, #Medicare (they say won't affect beneficiaries BS), #CISA, #FEMA, #FAA radar upgrades, Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, Public Housing, Project-Based Rental Assistance, Housing for the #Elderly, and #Housing for Persons with #Disabilities (27 billion dollars just in tenant-based rental)
We're not even talking about the stuff that affects middle class and above. They are in the list, too, and numerous.
The cuts are too catastrophic to list. The PDF below has all of them listed.
However, he gives $7 billion for lunar exploration (They want to commercially colonize the moon with data centers) and $1 billion in new investments for Elon Musk's
Human Space Exploration Mars-focused programs #USPol
It is INSANE that these children are who #Trump has licensed to reshape (destroy) the #UnitedStates #FederalGovernment.
#FauxNews' Jesse Watters interviewed #DOGE members at their nightly meeting. The meeting was led by #ElonMusk, who the #WhiteHouse & the #DOJ has stated in court is not in charge of DOGE. #AmyGleason who supposedly is in charge was not at the meeting.

This reminds me of his path of re-renegotiating NAFTA, adding tariffs, pausing tariffs, then replacing with other tariffs on items not included in his re-renegotiated NAFTA: USMCA1.1.
In this case however, he issued an ultimatum to wipe out Iran, then walked it all back to reconsider an Obama-brokered JCPOA deal, but maybe a little different. And in the process, left Israel out of his decision.
Clearly a stable genius. /s

The U.S. Army is planning a massive parade in Washington for its 250th anniversary conveniently on Trump’s 79th birthday. It will feature 150 vehicles, 50 aircraft, 6,600 troops, fireworks, and a full day of festivities. All on the taxpayers’ dime, of course.

"The Trump administration could gut research on the effectiveness of child welfare programs, with plans to terminate dozens of university grants studying improvements to Head Start and child care policy, according to a spreadsheet mistakenly made public this week.
The document listed more than 150 research projects under consideration for termination by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."
