As Trump’s popularity continues to drop, the MAGA coalition shows signs of cracking, and Trump’s mental acuity slips, there is a frantic feel to the administration, as if Trump’s people are trying to grab all they can, while they can.

Trump has found a terrifyingly effective way to eliminate bad news: delete the data.
From hunger and poverty stats to foreign investment numbers, federal agencies are being gutted—making it harder to measure the impact of his policies.

Of course he did. I'm just surprised it took him this long.
BREAKING: Trump just issued a blanket pardon for 79 individuals related to the 2020 fake electors scheme, to try and rig the election.
NOTE: He can’t pardon State crimes even if he thinks he can. He’s clearly trying to normalize election rigging for 2026.
