I’d be more optimistic about this joint statement from the major media outlets if it hadn’t come from the same major media outlets that were responsible for Trump’s rise to power.

Americans aren’t drowning debt because they’re “bad with money.” They’re drowning because costs have skyrocketed while wages have barely moved.

Debt isn’t a personal failing—it’s the result of a system that makes survival dependent on borrowing.

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Trump says a lot of weird and concerning stuff that people just kind of shrug at but right now I’m stuck on how he keeps insisting he’s going to hell

"To the extent Trump has the power to federalize troops, it stems from a law Congress passed. In other words, Congress could, were it not currently controlled by sniveling sycophants, just pass a new law that took away that power. So, by its very nature, that’s not a plenary power."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists.

So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?

Trump sending 200 US troops to Gaza and allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho is not going to go over well with the AMERICA FIRST MAGA movement.

Clearly, he no longer cares, but this will likely cause more fractures.
