If you’re killed by a flood, measles, or a plane falling out of the sky, I doubt that your last thought will be “There are too many immigrants.”

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Well, it's Tuesday, and Trump has plunged the entire continent into a senseless trade war between close allies for no coherent reason.

Make no mistake: these tariffs are a Trump Tax on everything YOU purchase.

A true economic disaster—and it's genuinely all Trump's fault.

We Americans aren't oblivious, we're horrified that our leadership is this corrupt.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

'Most people are good': How a stranger's words became a family mantra On a flight home, Caitlin Shetterly told the man next to her that after 9/11, flying made her nervous. Then the man told her something she'll never forget: "Most people are good."

A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

Bedside doctors like us rely on realtime CDC information to help inform our clinical decisionmaking - new health threats can impact differential diagnoses and treatments directly.

This is chilling and absolutely not acceptable:

Gaza, trans athletes, budget fights…none of that matters if Musk & his cronies have full access to the Treasury & data. Unilaterally culling a federally funded agency (USAID) w 💰 appropriated by Congress proves they’re operating outside the law. Pair that with the data they now control—that’s it.

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

Elon Musk's Takeover Is Causing Rifts in Donald Trump's Inner Circle “He’s getting too big for his britches,” says one Trump world source.

NEW: A half dozen Trump loyalists in and around the admin have told WIRED there’s a fissure emerging between Musk and Trump camps, following Musk’s DOGE takeover.

What once seemed like a fringe theory is now being carried out by the corporate powers that have wholly captured our government.
1. Install a CEO Dictator
2. Purge the Bureaucracy
3. Build a Loyalist Army
4. Dismantle Democratic Institutions
5. Seize Media and Information Control to Maintain Power

'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook In 2022, Curtis Yarvin envisioned a Trump Administration in which a DOGE-like entity with vast powers would run the federal government.

I beg you to read this by @gilduran.com --he's the only person making sense of what's happening right now. "Run the government as a rogue corporation rather than a public institution beholden to the rules of democracy." www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...
