Russia fired two short-range ballistic missiles, including one equipped with cluster munitions, at Ukraine's northeastern city of Sumy on Palm Sunday morning as Ukrainians attended church services. At least 35 people were killed and 119 injured in the attack, including children, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said. read more
Once seen as the bedrock of the global financial system, America has transformed into an unreliable economic partner under Donald Trump's erratic White House administration. And that comes at a cost, as we saw earlier this week when investors dumped US debt over fears that the president's trade war would trigger a financial crisis. This shows that the "premium on US treasuries remains high", says Garvey, referring to the extra interest investors demand in return for taking the risk to lend over time. read more

In his haste, Elon Musk is pushing out thousands of the government's best minds. "We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains," Vought said in a speech to a pro-Trump audience in 2023. "We want to put them in trauma." read more
just show'em that real ID?
problem?
#2 | Posted by itchyp
"As of early 2025, approximately 56% of driver licenses and IDs in circulation nationwide are compliant with Real ID standards. However, compliance rates vary significantly by state, with some states having less than 40% compliance."

So, yeah, when about 40%-50% of the population lack the ID for exercising a right they are entitled to under the Constitution, some might say that's a problem. Not you or the other MAGAts though, I'm sure.
Just in case if I get in trouble for previous comment. There's literally a 50/50 on Black or Hispanic.

what? a measles pandemic that shuts down our economy?

Here you go:
A US army-wide measles outbreak in 1917-18 resulted in more than 95,000 cases and more than 3000 deaths.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Unlike when folks were exposed to measles in childhood, resulting in gradual exposure of the population to the virus, we now run the risk of many folks with no immunity contracting it at once. That sets the stage for much more serious results.
"The death rate in the 1920s was around 30% for measles pneumonia. People who are at high risk for complications are infants and children aged less than 5 years; adults aged over 20 years; pregnant women; people with compromised immune systems"
en.wikipedia.org
Any of that sound worrisome? But yeah, let's let this run its course. What's the worst that could happen? And it's not like we have any alternatives available to us.
"Based on the tokenomics of the TRUMP meme coin, it is highly likely that Donald Trump personally holds or benefits from the coin's portfolio. Of the one billion total tokens, 80% (800 million) are reserved for Trump-affiliated entities, such as CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC, with a structured lock-up period followed by a vesting schedule."

Trump is responsible for the Moron Tax, that all Americans will be obligated to pay for the next century on our $30+ trillion in national debt. Because we must now pay extra to convince people to buy our bonds:

All sorts of stuff. Which is why 40 to 60% of driver licenses are noncompliant. Let that number sink it. This isn't the matter of a few peeps being too lazy to get one.
And we are not required to have one in order to exercise our constitutional right to vote. At least until Trump's SCOTUS says otherwise, which it will.
