Trump signed USMCA in 2020. Utterly disregarded its provisions in 2025. How can any nation enter into agreements with the United States when its president's signature is worthless? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I wrote a piece on Facebook about Elon Musk's agenda behind all these scrapings of data from every agency in the government: to turn most of the government's agencies into AI algorithms run on his xAI's training supercomputer Colossus. It's gotten over 8.4k shares.

ABC commentatrs should find every opportunity to say that Trump was found liable for "sexual abuse". That is, to the word, factually correct and legally bulletproof.

Kash Patel: “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but also in media.” This is a genuinely blood chilling choice. He may be repugnant enough to not get confirmed, but what if Trump were to make him deputy director? A giant step toward authoritarianism in and of itself.

Russell Vought says he wants to make sure the US is a “Christian nation” and only Christians should be allowed to immigrate here. (Sorry, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, et. al.) He’s a bigot & Trump just gave him one of the most important jobs in the US government. This is Christian nationalism in power.
Remember this guy? Trump just made him director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Shout-out to everyone who tried to convince us he knew nothing about Project 2025.

The stories will keep coming as long as doctors, nurses, & hospitals are told that they have to worry about the courts instead of to their medical judgement.

Abortion is healthcare.
NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

There is no evidence that arming teachers reduces gun violence in our schools—it’s ineffective and introduces new dangers. We need research-backed, comprehensive solutions that prevent gun violence to keep our schools safe.

There is very little daylight between their fascistic tactics and ambitions.
