The other day I was wondering if at the midterms there was enough of a blue wave to take back the House and even get to 60 seats in the Senate. If so then Trump would be impeached and removed from office. But then, maybe the two scariest words in the English language hit me, "President Vance!" I wonder if Trump specifically picked Bance because he figured people would be too scared of a Vance presidency that they wouldn't impeach him.US Politics

I wonder how much Trum's tariffs are helping American businesses.

India is hoping its manufacturing industry will profit from Trump's tariffs on China

My wife has started a nice thing this year. Every month we make a contribution to a charity that's been impacted by a Musk or Trump cut.

Another example of how Trump and Musk use lies to promote their short sighted plans. This podcast is about how little USAIC costs, how important it is to
American farmers, and how it promotes US interests abroad the will be filled by China now that it's been dismantled. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/13/1231104432/trump-dismantling-usaid-humanitarian-aid

@StillIRise1963 I remember when we used to come together as a nation during a national crisis. I hope we can become a nation like that again.

This probably isn't an original thought, but I just realized that another way to look at Project 2025 that the Heritage Group wrote for former President Trump is that it's an inditement of how unprepared and incompetent he was in his first term. Maybe that's how Trump will see it, so he'll purposely avoid implementing it since he doesn't want it to look like he's someone's puppet.

I'm a big fan of the native web client for Mastodon on my PC, but I'm giving Semaphore a try. #Semaphore #accessibility

“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ””

I listened to Beyonce’s album “Cowboy Carter” and I thought it was was awesome! ‘m not a huge country fan, and I’ve really never listened to Beyoncé, but I thought it was beautiful, and I thought she had a beautiful and powerful voice.

How do I report an accessibility issue with the native Mastodon app on the iPhone? When I go into Profile -> Followers or Following, all I hear is button, button, button, ... I need to tap on each button to see who my follower is. #Mastodon #accessibility

I'm loving my braille eReader. Moving around with the navigation pad beats swiping or using the VoiceOver braille keyboard commands.

I just tried to copy a meeting in Outlook 365 control+c and control+v and I got the message that copying meetings isn't support in Outlook! I've done this dozens if not hundreds of times!

I just found out that Microsoft intentionally removed the ability to copy meetings from one day on your calendar to another. Not sure why they would remove such a feature. It's got me thinking of a registry tweak for the first time in forever.
