Why are pundits talking about election results as if people voted only on the price of eggs? Some may have voted for Trump in ‘24 and for Dems in ‘25 b/c they’ve noticed that Trump Admin is ripping down the White House and the Constitution, and turning the USA into a starving, sick hellscape.

Can the Trump Admin be sued for defamation of nonprofits? This gov’t has spent a year wasting and abusing the English language by spouting fraudulent garbage meant to diminish nonprofits that help the American people. As of yet, there’s no accountability for their string of defamatory statements.
