He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

University of Pittsburgh professors push back against Trump 'compact' for higher education University of Pittsburgh professors have asked their school to reject a Trump "compact" that promises more access to federal resources to schools that sign on to his agenda

I'm glad to see our organizing with @AAUP.org is giving more colleges the courage to stand up to the Trump administration. Trump's offer to give preferential treatment to colleges in exchange for allegiance to his ideological agenda is entirely corrupt. www.wesa.fm/identity-com...

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Feds Won't Pause Immigration Blitz During Halloween, Dรญa De Los Muertos, Homeland Security Boss Says During a news conference Thusday, Gov. JB Pritzker also slammed federal agents' targeting of people without criminal records and using tear gas on neighborhood streets.

blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/30/f... They are targeting children and religious holidays. They are staging ICE raids in cemeteries. There is nothing about this that has anything to do with law and order. This is lawlessness and desecration.
