The US government won't stop sharing Nazi propaganda.
This past year, official social media accounts from the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, and other government agencies have adopted a distinct voice online. But if you look closer, a pattern emerges.

Another devastating story from a family of asylum seekers, in this case from Russia, trapped inside an American for-profit concentration camp
These stories are so similar to the ones from the Japanese internment camps in WWII -- now recognized as one of the great shames in our nation's history

I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.
As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.
She replied: “To get out of here.”

'Even in Russia, they don't treat children like this': A family's nightmare in ICE detention
A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

This is outrageous.
Americans often call Social Security at the most stressful times of their lives, such as when they've lost a loved one or become disabled.
They need fully trained experts (like the thousands DOGE forced out) on the other end of the line.

In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace.
In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

(1 of 2) Great—based on the WSJ's breaking news, we'll now get a year of media rehashing what I revealed about Kushner years ago in the bestselling, fully sourced Proof Trilogy. The unreported crime referenced in the report is likely—though we can't know for sure—Treason, Espionage, Bribery or FARA.

Should always be a healthy rational skepticism of our government.
We have now reached the sorrowful point that we must default to not believing any position the government puts forth.
To my knowledge this has never happened.
The lying is pervasive.
