Trump is still using hunger as a political weapon while also refusing to address skyrocketing health care costs — and seems to be enjoying it. It’s the definition of sadism. A truly twisted man.

For those who doubted where this was headed, this is what dictatorship looks like — declaring war against an American city. It is not a joke. We must all stand against this lawless regime.

When I was Secretary of Labor, one of my cardinal responsibilities was to guard the independence of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If politicized, it would no longer be trusted as a source of information. So what does Trump do? With one fell swoop today, he destroyed it.
