Went to school with someone famous, worked for famous people and world leaders, and almost died because of my job. Think critically and skeptically.

To everyone in positions of power and authority;

We don't expect less because the job isn't easy.

We expect more precisely because the job is hard.

Sincerely,
The People

Major disasters caused $101 billion in damages in the first half of 2025 — the costliest six month period on record.

How do we know? A nonprofit had to take over NOAA’s work tracking disasters, which Trump gutted.

What else doesn’t he want us to know?

7. As President, Trump will bulldoze the East Wing of the White House to build a giant golden ballroom that will be funded by selling political favors to wealthy donors. In a possibly-related coincidence, the Presidential emergency bunker is also located under the East Wing of the White House

No longer the party of Lincoln, not even the party of Reagan. The Guardians of Pedophiles are even teetering on being more lawless than the party of Nixon.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

TERRIFYING, but countries are realizing they don’t need Trump, nor the US. China found other soybean sources. Canada has had enough. Trump’s legacy is alienation and humiliation. Horrifying stuff.

Trump and Leavitt watch with glee as the press is crumbling

The administration is staging the news and telling reporters how to present it. When will it stop?

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on CNBC: "Deaths from extreme weather are on a 100 year plunge. There's never been a safer time to be alive from extreme weather. Five times more people die from the cold than die from the heat."

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

U.S. National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett says Canada employs unfair trade practices, is difficult to deal with, and lacks flexibility. Oh, and that Trump is unhappy with our demeanour. 🙄

GOV. WHITMER: “.. no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C. What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week.” Most Americans are “never going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.”

Hey, Fox: Sales of Hamburger Helper on the rise is a flashing recession indicator.

A tweet from Rep. Jason Crow reads: “Billionaires get tax breaks. Kristi Noem gets luxury jets. Trump gets a golden ballroom. You get Hamburger Helper.” It quotes a FactPost tweet summarizing a Fox News segment about the rising popularity of Hamburger Helper as consumers tighten their budgets. The image shows boxes of Hamburger Helper products and a Fox News anchor reporting on the trend.
