According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

Of course the PM doesn’t have the power to unilaterally remove Mandelson from the Lords. But given it can only be removed via an act of Parliament in government time, Starmer is hardly powerless, indeed he is the only person who can make it happen.

If you are bankrupt like Trump is, the only way to make some money is to be dictator and demand others pay you money. The justice system must see that and stand up to the bully.
Trump said he’s seeking $1 billion in “damages” from Harvard University after the New York Times reported that his administration had backed off demands for $200 million to satisfy accusations of wrongdoing by the Ivy League institution. bloom.bg/4actPGU

TikTok misusing our personal data was bad.

TikTok now being partly controlled by a Trump-aligned billionaire family and one of his biggest political donors who also owns other major media outlets is even worse.

Trump’s ICE gestapo in action..

"Federal police are turning up on American streets asking people for their identity papers," says Lewis Goodall.

"That is reminiscent of a Gestapo".

Right-wing podcaster Joe Rogan has compared Trump's ICE Agents to Nazi secret police. Is he right?

Fascism - support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
