Trump is gutting Wall Street safeguards and firing the examiners that make sure megabanks aren’t scamming you or putting our economy at risk.
Trump will own the next financial crisis, but we’re all going to pay for it.

Pete Hegseth committed a war crime and then doubled down.
He instructed the military to murder civilians at sea and when there were injured victims he gave the order to kill them all.
Surviving victims were brutally dismembered at sea by US missiles.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.
