Thanks Trump for undermining international confidence in the U.S. economy by firing the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics - for telling the truth. As a diplomat, seen lots of countries where officials are afraid to bring bad news to dictators. Never thought I’d see this here.

Let’s not forget Putin has killed all his rivals and has made bombing Ukrainian civilians his nightly practice.

So much for “The People’s House”. No more public tours of the White House while Trump builds a 200 million dollar monstrosity there. America is not Mar-A-Lago. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Look at 90-year old “Communists/hippies” protesting military occupation of Washington! (pic courtesy of ⁦The Wall Street Journal⁩). I’ve lived here 50 years(when not overseas serving my country),kids went to public school here.DC is a great town.Let our soldiers do their jobs & cops do theirs
