Health spending is at a deadly low under the Trump regime. None of this is by accident. It's due to a sinister and deliberate plan called Structural Eugenics.

Corporate media is completely ignoring it. Here are receipts you need to know as Trump tries to kill us: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-is-e...

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.

Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

A tiny trump figure in a chair next to a towering Zelensky captures the puny spirit of Trump's cowardice and Russian capitulation.

Opinion | This Never Happened With an American President Before Trump’s behavior in the Oval Office with Zelensky was an unparalleled break with American foreign policy.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who β€” well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio’s mother just announced that he will be released from prison. Most likely a sentence commutation from Trump. Tarrio was serving 22 years for seditious conspiracy.
