Trump Mobile Is the First Family's Latest Effort to Cash In on the White House The Trump Organization announced the launch of Trump Mobile, a wireless cell phone company marketed around President Don

Trump raked in $57M from his family's crypto company in 2024.

And this doesn't even account for his memecoin, which launched this year.

Now he's lending his name to "Trump Mobile," a new wireless phone service launched by the Trump Organization.

The grift never ends.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Studies show it takes 3.5% of the population actively participating to spark political change. And It can be done peacefully.

Researchers came up with the 3.5% rule citing examples, like peaceful protests ending dictatorial regimes in the Philippines, Georgia, Sudan, and Algeria. #RiseUp #RESIST

Laws should solve real problemsβ€”like better healthcare, financial protection. Why do so many lawmakers push laws based on disproven conspiracy theories? Maybe they get headlines? Let’s keep asking: Who benefits, & who’s left out when outrageous laws are proposed? Demand better! #TruthBrigade

BREAKING: Reports that Trump would try to cut NIH's budget by 40% have come true.

The request released moments ago would:
- Cut $18 BILLION to NIH's $47b budget
- Eliminate NIMHD, NCCIH, FIC
- Collapse ICs into five 'focus areas'

There's also a long screed about NIH's deficiencies.

The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare.

There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it.

We only need three House Republicans to join us.

Stop the architect of Trump's Project 2025

Confirming Russell Vought would accelerate Trump’s plans to dismantle our democracy. I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Vought's nomination as OMB director. app.sosha.ai/s/KL3esE1X

Where Is This Leading? Late today, Donald Trump’s acting attorney general fired the prosecutors who worked on the January 6 and classified documents prosecutions against Trump.

Violating rules about firing IGs when he could have just as easily done it lawfully suggests Trump's larger goals. It starts with pardons & firing prosecutors. I pull the threads in this piece to see where it might end. joycevance.substack.com/p/where-is-t...

Tell your senators to vote NO on RFK Jr.

The HHS protects our lives with programs that depend on scientific research and proven health solutions. RFK Jr. can't be trusted to lead an agency so vital to our health and safety. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/sAM2aXUV

Excerpt from Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny:" 

"1. Do not obey in advance."

"Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."
