FACT: Job growth in 2025 was the worst for a non-recession year since 2003 - that's 23 years ago.

And the only people doing well in Trump's economy are his rich donor pals, who got massive tax breaks through the Big Ugly Bill last summer.

Election results are not supposed to be different at the county and state level. So why are the #RocklandCounty New York 2024 presidential election results different than the state election results? It makes no sense. (Clip 5 of 6)

On the campaign trail, Trump railed against private equity tax loopholes.

As president, he's enacted more tax breaks and regulatory rollbacks that benefit the industry — and his war on the IRS has gutted the agency's capacity to audit PE firms.

Promises made, promises broken.

BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.
Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story
Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

When career prosecutors resign because they’re being pushed to investigate a grieving widow instead of a federal agent who killed an unarmed woman, that’s not “law and order.” That’s a warning sign.

Trump’s regime is treating the Declaration’s list of grievances like it’s a checklist
stephenwolf.bsky.social Stephen Wolf @stephenwolf.bsky.social · Oct 18
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
#NoKings
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States.

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

On the one hand, Kristi Noem says Members of Congress who by law are permitted to conduct oversight, can't get into Whipple.

On the other hand, Kristi Noem's dumbass crackers are bringing people who've been trained as legal observers into Whipple to observe.

O’Keefe was put into another vehicle with three agents. She says they started taunting and mocking her, and called her ugly. “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock that you could say that to one of her neighbors,” she said. They were brought to the Whipple Building and released after eight hours. They weren’t charged for a crime. Sigüenza said he was brought to a room with agents from the Department of Homeland Security and asked to provide the names of people he knows that are undocumented or the names of protest organizers in exchange for money or legal protection. “I was shocked when I heard this, I didn’t know this was something they were doing,” he said. “On the way to the room I saw many people, mostly Hispanic people, in cells crying. We heard people yelling, ‘let me out,’ we heard screaming, we just heard wailing, desperate wailing.” O’Keefe described holding cells with 40-50 people in them and smaller cells with dozens of people. She says the most disturbing part of her experience was the juxtaposition of people crying and ICE agents laughing.

Malaysia and Indonesia have blocked Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot, and the UK regulator Ofcom is launching a formal investigation into X. The reason? Users were able to make Grok generate nonconsensual sexual images of women, and in some cases, apparent minors.

Here’s a quick recap of the situation.
