Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus

Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

According to Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump's favorability has fallen by 150% since January.
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

In September 2022, major U.S. broadcast networks—
ABC, CBS, and NBC—declined to air President Joe Biden's "Battle for the Soul of the Nation" speech at Independence Hall. Network executives viewed the address, which focused on "extremism" and threats to democracy as too "political".

You can’t expect a criminal who has no respect for women, the disabled, people of color, our troops, victims of 9/11, LGBTQ+ people, humanity or even his own demon spawn to show respect after someone is brutally murdered. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this or sat out.

Read to the end. NPR asked why the Trump team ended a low-cost program that cured millions of tropical diseases w drugs donated by pharma. The spokesperson replied with an NPR headline—“Farewell to USAID”—and said: “What do you think farewell meant?” www.npr.org/sections/goa...
The fight to beat neglected tropical diseases was going well. 2025 could change that
The campaign to prevent and treat these diseases has seen great success thanks to a USAID program. Now that program is gone.

ICE shoots pepper spray at peaceful observer—from inside the safety of their car.

Jump out of car to spray her again from even closer point blank range—chasing her from behind as she runs away in pain.

Agents get in car to leave—then get back out to spray her a THIRD time until canister is empty.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

That's Trump right now. He's cracking and MAGA knows it.
