stress? heightened. so now cigs are back. 😔

We have been working on a story about the run of ICE impersonators robbing and terrorizing mostly Latino businesses. Now this has jumped to impersonating cops for politically motivated assassinations.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Trump Administration Said to Drop Lawsuit Over Toxic Chemical The Biden administration had sued to force the Denka Performance Elastomer plant in Louisiana to reduce emissions of chloroprene, a likely carcinogen.

Trump touted his admin's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda during yesterday's address.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Trump’s Inauguration Revealed Whom He Really Serves: the Billionaires and the Crypto Bros In front of Trump stood a handful of CEOs whose combined wealth topped $1.2 trillion. They and the crypto scammers are the true beneficiaries of Trump’s second term.

The combined net worth of Trump's small circle of inauguration attendees yesterday is over $1 trillion.

Remember that when Trump said "I am your voice," this is who he was talking to.
