Former CDC exec. Public health taught me the power of we. Now I’m channeling that into democracy—because silence isn’t strength, and I don’t do sidelines. Systems can save lives… or crash spectacularly. I’m here for data, decency, & taking back our country
Trump is rattling sabers like a man untethered, talking about Venezuela as if he can drag the country into a conflict by sheer impulse. This is mad-man territory — no strategy, no restraint, and absolutely no congressional approval.

Trump’s “tariff dividend” is classic political alchemy — turning thin air into election-year generosity. He’s selling rebates with no revenue, a stunt wrapped in bravado that leaves Americans paying more for the privilege of being conned.

The gaslighting only makes it worse: Trump stumbles, rants, forgets, fabricates — then demands applause. This isn’t normal, and it’s not safe. Americans deserve a clear, honest accounting of his health.

Trump admits “all the tariff money is gone”—and we might not be able to pay it back if a court rules against him. No plan. No backup. Running the country like one of his casinos, and we’re all on the losing table.

Trump is actively making life harder for struggling Americans. Forcing states to “undo” SNAP payments mid-month isn’t policy—it’s cruelty. People are hungry while his administration micromanages suffering.

Dire straits—and Trump still doesn’t care. The economy is tanking for voters, and so is his approval among them.

Trump’s back to yelling “Tariffs! Dividends! 401(k)s!” like a game show host who lost his cue cards. Meanwhile, groceries cost more, housing’s a crisis, and families are broke. You can’t eat a stock market, Don.

The myth of a Trump realignment collapses under math: Democratic gains this week erased his 2024 inroads among nonwhite, young, and low-income voters. The shift from ’24→’25 is twice his entire 2020–24 bump.

Yikes. That’s a perfect storm of household stress: student loans, auto loans, and credit cards all spiking. It tells you Americans aren’t just feeling the pinch—they’re reaching the breaking point.

While millions of Americans teeter paycheck to paycheck, the president is busy turning the White House into Versailles and officials are treating government jets like Uber Black. When public service becomes a private playground, you know the rot isn’t just at the edges—it’s at the top.

Yikes — 20‑to‑24 year-olds facing 9.2% unemployment, the worst since 2016. Inflation, layoffs, and lousy entry-level jobs are hitting them hard. The Trump economy? Looking out for…no one.

Trump: “Affordability is our goal.”
Meanwhile, tariffs jacked up prices, grocery bills are breaking records, and the middle class is living off store-brand coffee.
It’s like setting your house on fire, then bragging about how warm it feels.

This is beyond grotesque. Millions of Americans—children, seniors, families—are being deliberately denied food, and Trump is flaunting it like a power move. It’s not politics; it’s cruelty pure and simple.

U.S. forces killed three more people in another strike the administration says targeted drug traffickers. No independent evidence has been released, and the death toll keeps climbing. Congress owes the public oversight before more lives are lost.

Nigeria for Christianity, Venezuela for drugs—no matter the rhetoric, those justifications are insufficient to commit U.S. military forces. Every expedition risks American lives and global credibility.

Trump’s approval has dropped to –10.8%, the lowest of his presidency. Historically unpopular—fewer Americans support him today than at any point in either term.

They’re using generative content to stoke outrage, vilify the poor, and justify gutting social safety nets like SNAP — all under the guise of “personal responsibility.” The racist coding is unmistakable: a caricatured “Black mother,” seven “baby daddies,” welfare dependency — rendered in pixels.

Health insurance premiums just hit an all-time high: nearly $27k/year, up +6% YoY. That’s three straight years of increases faster than inflation. Since 2000, premiums have surged +350%. Small businesses are getting crushed, with +10%+ hikes. Americans are paying more, getting less.

Grocery bills are surging: +5.3% YoY nationally, hitting rural families hardest at +7.6%. A household spending $12k/year now pays an extra $636 just to eat. Inflation isn’t abstract—it’s a daily, stomach‑aching reality.

The U.S. population is roughly 340 million. If 8% participated:
340,000,000 \times 0.08 = 27,200,000
So about 27 million people took part in a “No Kings” protest?
340,000,000 \times 0.08 = 27,200,000

Trump’s numbers are tanking faster than a Mar-a-Lago mortgage. Approval at -18%, 61% think we’re off track, 57% say the economy’s worse. Even his most loyal MAGA talkers must be sweating.
