Pre-emptive bank bailouts for fun and profit How about bank β€˜bail-unders’ instead?

The Trump Administration & GOP in Congress say we need to strip away protections and regulations put in place after 2008’s crisis. We’re already headed for a train wreck.

From the WWII Museum in New Orleans, LA. Notice this US dollar bill from 1942-1943 does NOT say β€œIn God We Trust.” Cold War propaganda endures today. Now that phrase are on police cars in Texas. Separation Clause, anyone?

Trump authorizes troop pay amid government shutdown The president said he would direct Defense Department officials to pay military members on Oct. 15.

Democrats in Congress tried to get the military paid last week. Republicans wouldn’t do it. Why is the executive branch authorizing it? When did we become a kingdom? Where are checks & balances? It’s Secretary of DEFENSE, not War, you Idiot in Chief. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Is it trump's dementia or his desperation to distract from Epstein pushing the country into a civil war? Shooter Tyler Robinson has been caught, but chaos persists. Dr. Harry Segal from the hit podcast "Shrinking Trump" weighs in.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

You may not know about this bill yet, but you should.

The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

Supreme Court allows Trump to fire independent agency members The case raises broad constitutional questions about whether Congress can set up agencies that prevent the president from removing officials without cause.

They aren’t independent agencies if the heads can be fired for exercising their autonomy.
