MAGA figures are already exploiting the Brown shooting tragedy, pushing baseless "politically motivated" theories before a suspect is even caught. This reckless disinformation during an active investigation is despicable.

Trump just declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction, a drastic move following a racist rant. This isn't about public health; it's a fear-mongering escalation that risks brutal policy overruns and feeds his xenophobic narrative.

Trump is now shamelessly blaming Brown University for the ongoing manhunt, deflecting from his FBI's failure after they detained the wrong person. Observers are rightly aghast at this grotesque attempt to dodge responsibility for a tragedy.

A new survey shows the brutal reality of Trump's economy: 41% of Americans are cutting holiday spending, with nearly half blaming the high cost of goods. Even those spending more cite higher prices. This is economic pain hitting home.

The speculative frenzy around Trump-linked stocks and meme coins has utterly collapsed. His media company is down 80%, and those joke cryptocurrencies have lost nearly 90% of their value. It's a predictable crash of pure grift.

This article contrasts Australia's serious, rapid gun law reform after a massacre with America's deadly acceptance of school shootings. It ties this unseriousness to Trump's vile Reiner comments and the gutting of USAID, proving our political choices are morally bankrupt.
