In 2017, the Trump administration had turnover in 2 cabinet positions & 35% of senior staff posts.

In 2025, there have been no cabinet changes & 29% senior staff turnover.

That’s still much higher than other recent administrations, according to a Brookings analysis. www.npr.org/2026/01/20/n...

ROGAN: β€œYeah, he didn’t have an answer.”

Joe Rogan & Dave Smith discuss how Trump couldn’t explain how the election was stolen from him when he was on Rogan’s podcast. (Because it wasn’t)

Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado.

Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags.

One perverse aspect of Trump calling up the D.C. National Guard while crime plummets to a 30-year-low: Trump REFUSED to call up the D.C. Guard on Jan. 6 to counter an insurrection that he himself incited.

If Congress won't give D.C. statehood, at least give us control over our National Guard.

ICE slam head of local nurse into ground during arrestβ€”she's a U.S. citizen & community volunteer.

Agents charged at her so she dropped a posterβ€”β€”they claim she "attacked" them with that poster.

Amanda Trebach is well knownβ€”and targeted in advance for false arrestβ€”according to fellow volunteers.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he’s also routed more than 800 of his constituents’ complaints to the agency β€” the most of any current lawmaker from either party, ProPublica found.

This is the equivalent of me announcing that "Andy Burge has reviewed Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's last theorem concluding it to be false"

Kennedy has no scientific qualifications and is full blown idiotic conspiracy theorist. 2/2

No, it's not only the US who will suffer from RFK Jr cancelling vaccine research.

1️⃣ You can't just instantly teleport research projects. Cancelling US projects slows global progress.

2️⃣ Preventing pandemics will always be a group project. The US is letting the team down & putting the world at risk.

BREAKING: The US government has just removed sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the US Constitution from their website.

Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with:

- Writ of Habeas Corpus
- Congresses ability to control tariffs.

See screenshot below: Notice that 9 and 10 are gone.
