Business acumen? 😭
This is what he does and this time to ensure max damage he hired musk to tear it all down fast.
Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The Trump administration’s cuts to university research grants will make America sicker and poorer in the long run, David Deming writes. DOGE should stop "confusing efficiency with ill-conceived budget cuts."

trump was just asked what money he was going to use to buy Gaza.

"We're not gonna buy it. We're gonna have it, we're gonna keep it." No follow up question, of course.

Is THAT how real estate works in the Middle East?

The shutdown of CBP One, the app that allows asylum seekers to make appointments at legal ports of entry, could produce more chaos, writes Juliette Kayyem. “Then again, Trump’s political interest lies in exploiting the border, not effectively managing it.”
The Border Got Quieter, So Trump Had to Act
The president would rather exploit a free-for-all than manage migrant flows effectively.

These are the Senate Republicans and Democrats up for re-election in 2026. Apl Republicans need to be voted out. And currently, based on their Noem support, 2 Dems need to be replaced (Peters and Shaheen).

The leopards have begun eating faces.

Yesterday was a terrible day for America—and that includes every single Trump voter. This report has all the details.
Trump’s Day 1 Executive Orders Are a Live Grenade Thrown at His Own Voters
Never in American history has a new president done more in one day to attack, in the most vicious ways imaginable, the very people who voted for him—opting instead to please the people who funded him.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Due to Trump's efforts this ban on tiktok was started.
Also his plan for US govt to own 50% makes it state owned.
Convenient, along w/t/ threats of removing licenses, not providing access to news orgs, we have blatant evidence of the start of an authoritarian government.

The list goes on & on.

Our government can’t seem to get it together to address any of these issues but they found a way to ban TikTok.
