No president has ever raked in billions like this. Money keeps flowing to Trump and his family, often coming from entities that stand to benefit when Trump, as president, treats them favorably. That includes Trump's businesses but also his presidential library, the White House ballroom and more.
As Trump’s power has risen, so has his wealth – all in plain sight
President Trump’s estimated net worth has doubled to more than $6 billion since early 2024. His allies deny conflicts of interest. Watchdog groups disagree, and see a troubling breakdown in ethical no...

600 kids have been ripped from their families and placed in ICE camps. That’s more than in the entirety of the previous 4 years.

The average time in the camps is 6 months.

This is in addition to the young mothers having their babies ripped from their arms as they’re deported.
ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.
Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

More fodder for my theory they are starting to Truman Show him
NEW: President Trump has never before been in such an echo chamber

His domestic travel has basically stopped. He sees rich donors and MAGA media, not actual voters

Everyone around him is saying he is right. But polls show more Americans think he is wrong www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Trump Has Never Been More Isolated
Even Trump’s allies worry that he has become out of touch with what the public wants.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

I cant believe we all witnessed the richest man in the world buy a president and then dismantle our government and social safety net -- and we haven't learned the lesson that these freaks need to be taxed more.

We came out of the the Great Depression with most of us knowing that blame lay on the rich and their enablers, while we came out of the global financial crisis acting on the assumption that the biggest problem were irresponsible homebuyers and those who needed the most help were bankers & insurers.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.

The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.

And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Wait, is this the Professor Watchlist, but for media … and instead of being posted on an independent group’s website it’s on the official website of the people who control armed men with badges and a distinct disregard for the Constitution?

They use Lincoln because they love to hang their hat on LINCOLN WAS REPUBLICAN

It was a new political party. The party no longer even remotely resembles the one Lincoln was a part of.

Black people used to be OVERWHELMINGLY Republican because that was the party that fought for abolition.
They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

This is who MAGA is now.

Maybe ABC, CBS, and WaPo like being denounced by the White House, at least a little, because they can use that to say they’re not biased in Trump’s favor despite all the objective evidence that they are. Good point.
I think they probably welcome it. They're all hopelessly biased in Trump's favor but having the WH call them out as somehow being "anti-Trump" is brand management for them

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.
