Much of US media is failing so badly…
Mainstream media's reaction to the open corruption, blatant bigotry, rampant cruelty, and utter stupidity of the Trump administration:

This is truly disgraceful. The cruelty is beyond comprehension… I weep for these children.
“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” an immigration judge told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning, including a 4-year-old girl, squeezing her pink plushy toy.
4-year-old migrant girl, other kids go to court in NYC with no lawyer: 'The cruelty is apparent'
The Trump administration cut funding for lawyers aiding unaccompanied minors in court.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Fair point…
Can someone tell Republicans that their corporate donors prefer hiring outsourced cheap labor in foreign countries and refuse to pay decent wages in America and is partly why we "make" stuff abroad and Trump has just made everything more expensive now with his tariffs?

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

This cannot be real... can it? Hard to decipher what is real or not... Just how low can this man and his administration sink? There is clearly no depth that is too far beyond the pale. But keep going... let's drain the swamp!
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.
I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

What the hell is happening? The US is descending into an abyss that will be difficult to come back from, if ever. But you know… egg prices and Biden crime family stuff.
i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

At what point does the Victorian judiciary and the Gov't decide to support victims and their families rather than jail perpetrators of sexual abuse? What will it take?

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.
Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.

Seems like a ‘weaponization of government’ Grant?
This was Trump's plan all along. To cut off funding for Medicaid, SNAP, Meals on Wheels, pretty much anything he feels like without warning, without a law or Congress.
President Musk and Donald Trump want to shrink the government by hurting children, parents, and the elderly.
This is Project 2025.
