Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

It’s insane to me that people are still shocked that a career fraudster convicted felon’s main goal was to rob the US blind out of revenge as well as greed whilst sitting in the White House that he laced with tacky gold-plating and bulldozed for his ballroom. I hate him.

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’
Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Malignant narcissists often destroy what other people love. When they do, they’re acting out of pathological envy. They have a need for absolute control and a desire for sadistic pleasure. They intentionally engage in destruction to cause suffering in order to reinforce their sense of superiority.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The United States also already has a major physician shortage, which is bad now and projected to worsen to pretty extreme levels as Boomers continue to age. Making H1-B visas dependent on a $100K bribe is going to cause thousands of medical students & residents to stop coming here every single year.
Trump’s delusional if he thinks this ends with Bubba from Oklahoma landing a tech job. Tech firms will just move operations overseas to reach top-tier talent.
📌 After Trump slapped a $100K fee on new visas, several passengers bailed minutes before takeoff, afraid they couldn’t get back into the US.
