Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m?

It is like watching a man vomit up bigotry that has been poisoning his soul for decades. Just when you think Trump has hit rock bottom, he produces a jackhammer and starts tunneling to a new nadir of nastiness. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Maybe Tom's the reason Trump canceled his rallies.

A quote by Swami Vivekananda (see ALT), in my native language, Tamil:
"எழுமின்! விழிமின்! குறிசாரும் வரை நில்லாது செல்மின்.
— சுவாமி விவேகானந்தர்"

which translates to:

“Arise! Awake! Stop not until the goal is reached.”
- Swami Vivekananda. 🙌🏼

Tomorrow, October 30, dockworkers in one hundred ports in nearly twenty countries will engage in perhaps the largest coordinated strike in world history. They are striking for Palestine, against war, genocide and automation.

Nothing in legacy media.
