A sign of how off the rails Trump and his MAGA cult have become? You find yourself agreeing with Mitch McConnell.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on β€œDEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the freeze on federal grants and loans.

Long fight ahead, but we have to keep reminding people how this federal freeze impacts them.

Police.

Firefighters.

Senior centers.

Food pantries.

Student loans.

Childcare.

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

Trump’s Treasury pick rejects minimum wage hike, champions tax breaks Scott Bessent summarized the incoming administration’s perspective perfectly: Yes to tax breaks for the wealthy, no to increasing the minimum wage.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, warned of "economic calamity" if Trump's tax cuts for the rich are not extended.

But when asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25/hr, he said no.

Economic populism.

President Biden warns of a 'tech-industrial complex':

"Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation … Social media is giving up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. We must hold the social platforms accountable."

Trump offers Pentagon’s No. 2 job to billionaire Stephen Feinberg The search for a capable deputy defense secretary has taken on heightened significance as lawmakers scrutinize Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice to lead the agency.

Trump is planning to add another billionaire to his admin, offering private equity exec Stephen Feinberg the job of deputy defense secretary.

His firm has investments in defense companies with huge Pentagon contracts.

If this isn't a conflict of interest, I don't know what is.
