The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

I’m still waiting for a Republican business owner or farmer to get arrested for illegally employing migrant workers. When are we going to get perp walk videos of them being hauled off to vans in cuffs by masked agents?

Donald Trump is so scared of the American people holding him accountable for his catastrophic actions, he wants Republicans to rig the 2026 elections for him.

Trump is doing exactly what MAGA has been ranting about for years—covering up Epstein ties, protecting elite pedophile rings, silencing victims, and giving safe harbor to child sex traffickers.
And he’s doing it in plain sight.

Trump has made it abundantly clear that any person who dares to tell the truth in any government agency will be fired.
It is also clear when you take a look at his appointees that all are willing and eager to lie for him constantly and effortlessly without remorse or regret.

BREAKING: Trump says he has told his team to fire the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.
This announcement comes after worse than expected jobs numbers in July, and a downward revision of -258,000 jobs for the May and June jobs reports.

Republicans thought they were getting people who would expose the Deep State pedophiles with Trump, Bongino and Patel. Instead, they got their protectors. Maxwell just got rewarded with a nicer prison, and in exchange, the pedophiles stay concealed. Hell of a legacy, fellas.

The depths of depravity that the MAGA cult will go to defend Trump is vividly illustrated by this clip, where Newsmax brings the brother of convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell on in primetime to trash one of the victims who is dead and call her a liar.

MAGA went from wanting the death penalty for child rapists to being apologists for sending them to do their time in a minimum security club fed.
All for their hero. Maxwell can hurt Trump, so she gets what she wants. And none of them will say a word about it.

Well, this is scary.
Nearly 6 billion people live in the 101 countries that a new study has identified as confronting a net decline in water supply — signaling enormous challenges for food production and a heightening risk of conflict and instability.
