Thousands of federal staffers working on mental health-related issues have been purged by Trump’s government.

It's all a part of the president's mental health plan: Defund, incarcerate, disappear.

His speeches on homelessness drip with fear and disgust. His policies are worse.

Two Trump-appointed judges on the D.C. Circuit have upheld Trump's efforts to continue destroying the CFPB.

It's a victory for corporate predators and financial scammers, who will have a far easier time picking your pocket with a defanged CFPB. https://youtu.be/u46V9GRzUtM?feature=shared

Trump has attacked and undermined vital nonpartisan data, including:

-BLS monthly jobs numbers
-DC crime statistics
-EPA emissions database
-NOAA & National Weather Service forecasting

Like every dictator, Trump knows the major enemy of tyrants is an educated public.

Tyrant Trump is daily tearing up the Constitution. Dictator Donald is celebrating his 79th birthday by demanding a tenfold increase in the U.S. Army’s originally planned 250th anniversary celebration.

Trump is betraying voters who trusted him to make their lives better. “The event was unlike anything in recent American history — not a campaign fund-raiser but a gathering arranged by the president’s business partners to directly enrich the first family.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump.

BREAKING: US Politicians were buying tariff exempt companies before the news like $AAPL Apple.

Take Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. She bought $AAPL, $AMZN, $DELL, $NKE, and others before the surprise announcement today, buyjng the companies as they fell.

New in PN: RFK Jr. and the great discrediting of HHS

"Though Trump himself was a leading purveyor of misinformation during covid, he was helped along by government experts who for the most part managed to inform the public in spite of him. Now, the anti-science hucksterism is policy."
