Peter GleickThe Trump administration, including Marco Rubio at State, explicitly ignored and violated a court order to stop illegal deportations. Is the media going to report it that way?
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick rationalized current market volatility, telling NBC’s Meet the Press last SUnday, “Will there be distortions? Of course. Foreign goods may get a little more expensive, but American goods are going to get cheaper.”
Bullshit!
American corporation will NOT lower prices if the price of their competition's goods get more expensive. Look at the cause of inflation the past year. There will just be more corporate earning increases and massive bonuses to management.
That 10-to-1 value proposition is why trump et al want to privatize weather info - they can't allow $100 billion in value be available to all when they can make $90 billion in profit from it.
Incredible statement from the American Meteorological Organization. It takes a lot for a scientific organization to issue a statement like this:
"U.S. leadership in scientific innovation is at risk due to the recent and ongoing reductions in U.S. federal science capabilities. The consequences to the American people will be large and wide-ranging, including increased vulnerability to hazardous weather...Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm and have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, and the United States’ global leadership."

♾️🇺🇦 Vote MidtermsTrump, Vance traitors used the entire spectrum of abusive tactics: gaslighting, victim blaming, forced gratitude, manipulation. We all felt through our screens, it was a provocation.
— Blaming the victim for their situation: “You allowed yourself to be in a very bad position” — this is a classic phrase of an abuser, Trump says to Zelenskyy. Blaming the victim for suffering & also blaming them for Russia occupying you and killing your people.
— Pressure and forced “gratitude”: Toxic Vance demands that Zelenskyy say “thank you” — this is a terrible technique, forcing the victim to thank for the help that she desperately needs. Then such toxic people accuse her of ungratefulness if she tries to defend her rights.
— Manipulation of the concept of “peace”: Trump declares that Zelenskyy “is not ready for peace.” But by this he means the capitulation of Ukraine. This is a typical manipulation - replacing the concept of “just peace” with the concept of “surrender.”

Why is no one discussing The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances?
---
The memoranda prohibited Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom and France from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.

Watch this. Congress critters are afraid of musk paying to 'primary them" if they bend the knee (or suck his toes...). This is the start of how they all of them get primaries....
