Trump regime of corruption, dishonesty and cruelty could never succeed in the long term...it will just be a stain on Anerica and hopefully a learning opportunity.
The descent into cruelty isn’t accidental. It’s cultivated. What began as Trump’s instinct has become MAGA’s culture, where dehumanization is a strategy and empathy is treated as weakness. That always carries a cost.
Trump Hardened MAGA Hearts With His Cruelty—It’s Finally Backfiring
Trump has trained MAGA to revel in his cruelty, but it may finally be going too far

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

TPSY: US employers announced 1.17 million layoffs through Nov. 2025, a 54% increase over the same time last year. It's the largest wave of job cuts since the 2020 pandemic crash & the sixth time since 1993 that year-to-date cuts exceeded 1.1 million.

Trump is so full of shit...he understands nothing
Trump: "We did a very, you know, study ahhumm ahhh progression of charts. And we figured out a very exact number and it was about $12 billion."

It's an open invitation

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”

Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”

Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

In other words, Trump is planning to provide socialist welfare to people who voted for him after he ruined their businesses with his stupid tariffs.

But you can't have medicine, food, or ACA supplements.
President Trump is planning a $12 billion farm aid package, according to a White House official — a boost to farmers who have struggled to sell their crops while getting hit by rising costs after the president raised tariffs on China as part of a broader trade war. https://to.pbs.org/4ptNxEm

Wasn't the last farm bailout under the last Trump administration?
Rollins: "The bridge that is needed to get from the last administration & what basically happened under the last president to this new golden age for farmers where instead of farming for govt checks they can farm to feed their families and sell their products, this bridge is absolutely necessary"

Utter incompetence and bias...surprise!
California asked the Trump Administration back in February to request relief from Congress for the Los Angeles fires.

Nearly 11 months later, Trump has failed to send Congress that request — and his FEMA won't even schedule a meeting to discuss it.

When fascism gets tired, it still finds time for paperwork. Trump’s handlers fake loyalty, his body gives out, and the GOP starts cracking. Cheryl Rofer’s “Week 46” captures the rot setting in.

Here's a short piece I wrote to explain to smart laypersons what the birthright citizenship clause is for and why it's in the Fourteenth Amendment. Excerpted from my forthcoming book. Ungated:
History Shows Why Birthright Citizenship is so Important
The 14th Amendment aimed to overturn restrictive state laws while making the Constitution more inclusive.

The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war.

If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes.

The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.

In the large scheme of things, we are all immigrants.
Immigrants are the gift that make this country strong. There is strength and beauty in diversity. The beauty of diversity comes in all shades, faiths and traditions.
