Just a deep, dark cesspool of corruption like we’ve never seen before in US history at every single agency and level of government. Republicans in Congress continue to ignore all of it and if people still care about having a Republic they will vote them out as soon as they can.

GOP just kowtows to oligarchs. The people don't have healthcare, food, or housing. GOP couldn't care less.

America Needs a Mass Movement—Now Without one, America may sink into autocracy for decades.

David Brooks:
"The second Trump administration has flouted court decisions in a third of all rulings against it. It operates as a national extortion racket, using federal power to control the inner workings of universities, law firms, and corporations."
