The Trump administration is advancing efforts to dismantle mental health services tailored for LGBTQ+ youth, particularly within the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Right-wing One America News to provide newsfeed to Voice of America The far-right One America News Network will provide “newsfeed services” to Voice of America and other U.S. government-funded media outlets, according to Kari Lake, senior advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, VOA’s parent company.

“What they have done, in effect, is replace our 83-year legacy of producing reliable, authoritative news with the hard work and commitment of countless journalists with a contract to outsource our news-gathering to a source that is clearly partisan,” said Voice of America White House bureau chief Pa

WTF?

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. 

They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.

Keep up the fight.

Remember when every MAGA influencer — and even some politicians — falsely claimed the House GOP budget framework included a ‘no tax on tips’ policy even though it was total bullshit?

Instead, Republicans are trying to cut funding for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits with a Continuing Resolution.

Fuck DJT from California!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

KELLY: To be clear, the only winner in this shouting match in the Oval Office is Putin. Almost can’t believe this happened.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

This would also have a chilling effect on tax compliance. Many undocumented immigrants pay taxes using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). If their tax data were used against them, it could discourage compliance, reducing tax revenues and driving more people to work off the books.

If this law is violated, it would set a dangerous precedent, undermining the confidentiality protections that apply to all taxpayers.

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

leaving them unable to continue their work on clean energy initiatives. Additionally, government employees involved in the program may face legal uncertainty as the administration pushes for stricter oversight, creating a climate of fear and instability.

How Does This Affect Employees?

EPA employees are now under intense pressure as the FBI investigates their involvement in the grant program. Many workers at nonprofits that rely on these funds could lose their jobs due to the account freezes,

Meanwhile, a judge denied a request to seize the funds, but Citibank has frozen billions in grant money, preventing nonprofits from paying employees or continuing their projects.

The political nature of the investigation became even more evident when a senior federal prosecutor resigned, citing concerns that the probe was politically motivated and lacked proper evidence.

The administration is threatening legal action against these employees, treating them as if they have committed crimes, with their work and records being scrutinized.

What’s Happening?

EPA Admin Lee Zeldin, appointed by Trump, is attempting to reclaim these funds, arguing that they were allocated with insufficient oversight. As part of this effort, the FBI has questioned EPA employees about the grants, escalating the situation into a criminal investigation.

Now, EPA employees are being interrogated like criminals simply for doing their jobs.

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.
