For the first time since World War II Germany deploys troops in another European country - Lithuania. Message to putin, come on in. Invade Lithuania. We’ll see you in Moscow in about 2 weeks.
Even TSF’s and Musk’s doubling down on their reprehensible decimation of the scientific, academic, professional, diplomatic and military institutions that actually did make America great and Mangolini’s three card monte game of tariffs are perverse linings on the cloud of their grab for autocratic power. The likely chaos and economic fallout from their foul actions will bring the political backlash from simmer to a boil.
Churchill’s timeless observation that Americans always do the right thing, after they’ve tried everything else is beginning to rub its sleepy eyes. MAGA from TSF down through Miller, Hegseth, Mike Johnson and his fellow hypocritical cowards in Congress are about to learn what a colossal error it was to awaken woke America.
We’re not lost. We’re just beginning to be found.

New changes at the United States Postal Service (USPS) are set to begin on Tuesday, the first of two rollouts.
The cost-saving measures aim to save $36 billion in the next decade. However, the Postal Service says they’ll be able to preserve delivery times and give people more information on when they can expect their packages.
The measures come after Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced in a letter in March that he had reached an agreement with Elon Musk’s DOGE to cut spending and reduce the USPS workforce by 10,000 employees via an early retirement program. DeJoy announced in February that he would be stepping down from his role, thrusting the future of the Postal Service into uncertainty.

The president has a great deal of power to deport people. Legally, this abusive and unethical act can be done virtually at a whim. With this being true, why are the very limited procedures around deportation being ignored? Why are they extending so much effort moving people around to avoid overview? Why are they breaking the law, when they don’t have to to accomplish their goals?
It’s like the deportation isn’t the point, the cruelty to immigrants isn’t the point, the policy isn’t the point. The point is to demonstrate power over the judicial branch.

Wonder if the US has figured in the cost of Americans joining insurgents against the US occupation? Get your parkas, your thermos full of Danish aquavit, and your stash of whale blubber. You’ll need it to fight against the illegal MAGA occupation . . . .

And Donnie can’t do jackshit to help one of his ‘friends’ and Elmo, who can’t swing an election in Wisconsin, is equally powerless to assist that like minded individual.
Good times there.
