I remember when Trump admin said we had to suffer a bit for his policies to succeed, but Trump and his friends sure don’t seem to be suffering at all while Americans are hurting.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

We were told that we are in an AI arms race and that’s why we need to keep building data centers to compete against China, but in the end it is all about money.

Who cut off USAID? It’s as if Trump has no clue that his policies are creating crises and suffering.

Tech oligarchs should not be given the ability to rewrite history. Cities like Memphis are bending the knee to data centers for the false promise of new jobs when in reality AI is quickly being used as a propaganda tool for dictators while creating a new class of trillionaires.

While I hear a lot of politicians talking about health insurance, I don’t hear them talking about home insurance markets. Of course they’d have to talk about climate change as well, but the future of affordability is tied to addressing global warming.

I just don’t get it. The amount of people willing to break the law, their morals, the teachings of religion, and to be societally unacceptable in order to serve the most vile man. I don’t get it. My only thought is they think they will rule forever and that is why it’s so damn important to speak out

The Tennessean finally covered Tennessee’s newest corruption coming out of DC. Will Memphis media finally follow suit? Blackburn wants to be governor but it’s as if there is a media blackout in Memphis about the horrible things she has done.

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.
