Good thing Trump/Congress plan to:
-slash Medicaid, let enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies lapse;
-increase tariffs;
-expand deficits by trillions of dollars through tax cuts

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.
This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.
Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Attorney General Pam Bondi Directives as soon as she is sworn in.
Just doing everything we knew they would do.
You may want a stiff drink while you read it.
So many people’s lives are about to be a living hell just for doing their jobs. All because America refused to jail a dangerous traitor.

“Democrats can hoot and holler all they want.” Trump’s WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubles down on running the government like a business. But a nation isn’t a corporation—people aren’t profit margins. Public service isn’t about cutting “waste,” it’s about protecting lives.

300 babies. That’s how many now have HIV because Elon Musk’s DOGE froze USAID’s lifesaving HIV/AIDS programs. Workers can’t distribute meds. Babies can’t get treatment. And Musk? He’s bragging about “feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”

When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts.
The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:
