For those across the world trying to stay informed about the health of the U.S. & its govt, you need only look carefully at the President's current physical appearance & the unscripted words out of his mouth.This will tell you all you need to know of our dire situation as it spirals down by the day.

We need a complete rebuild of our government.The current system is inadequate to deal with the lunacy we’re experiencing. We must open our minds and enlarge our thinking…the old ways are failing every one of us except the wealthiest, and even they will find this has failed them too in the long run.

“Jobs are booming” is Treasury Secretary-speak for “most-announced-job-cuts-for-a-full-year-since-2020.”

“Inflation is falling” is Treasury Secretary-speak for “inflation-is-at-an-eight-month-high.”

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post?

This.

This is what you get.

X Post by Michael Adams, Kentucky Secretary of State:

"We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."

Same idiot that got schooled by his own constituents about how Habeas Corpus works on non citizens.

He didn't know.

They did.

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.

They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Follow the money.

Trump is now going against his own administration's plan to partially fund SNAP.

He's demanding Democrats end the shutdown and let health insurance costs skyrocket for millions of people, otherwise food assistance won't be released for millions of hungry people ahead of the holidays.

Hello?

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

Eric Holder is right. The Supreme Court is a broken institution, and we need bold reforms to restore faith in our nation’s highest court.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

This dear man reminds me of my 20 year USAF veteran dad so much. If he were alive today, this would be him. I am a mess watching this. How can any veteran or any American support him?

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.”

Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

The cracks in the Republican Party are turning into full fractures. On Truth Social, Trump urged his own supporters to back “independent” Andrew Cuomo instead of Republican Curtis Sliwa, writing, “Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice.”
