Trump just said one thing about his 2nd term that I agree with: βNo oneβs seen anything like it.β
Trump Thanks Former Honduras President for Cocaine That Enabled Him to Stay Awake While Speaking
Whatever. Good riddance.
Three DHS agents manhandled this tiny 75-year-old woman who was peacefully protesting in front of ICE headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The corporate media is refusing to cover the story. Click to watch the video, and please share.
The WH reporters are desperate for soundbites and online clicks. They have sold their dignity and credibility for those insults from trump. They will never hold him accountable for his lies, insults, incompetence, and nastiness. NEVER.
Why donβt journalists fight back against Trumpβs insults?
Do they stay silent to protect corporate profits?
Will they ever reach the point where they tell Trump to fβ off?

"So ask the questions over and over and over. If he says he doesnβt know, ask him why he doesnβt know. When he lies, interrupt him to say heβs lying. And say it that way: βThatβs a lie. Youβre lying.β
Show Trump the respect he deserves. Which is none."
This is the way.
Trumpβs ballroom isnβt a matter of national security β itβs a matter of his own personal insecurity.
School districts are rushing to adopt "one chatbot per child" models, but decades of research shows learning is fundamentally social.
Hereβs why isolating students with AI tutors may undermine the classroom interactions that actually support brain development. buff.ly/gv76wEl
A cast of Trumpβs lesser-known political appointees and DOGE operatives cut programs in ways that guaranteed widespread harm and death in some of the worldβs most desperate situations.

The speaker of the House is too much of a chickenshit to stand up for basic human decency.

Trumpβs post that Rob Reiner had a stabbing death coming to him because he opposed Trump will be forgotten in a day or two. Like everything else. If we were a rational society, these appalling words and actions would be cumulative and weβd get rid of the bastard. Instead everything is a one-off.
We found that 11 of Trumpβs DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses.

Here's Trump saying Rob Reiner is dead because he made people mad with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Absolutely insane.
It's a real post by the president of the United States, who has the nuclear codes.
How prophetic, when years down the road, this case has such serious consequences for his personal wellbeing.
Obviously when this shitshow is over Trump should be tried in a Nuremberg-style court and sentenced to prison, but before he is incarcerated he should be required to work as a supermarket bag boy so he can finally learn how expensive groceries are

A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people
Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.
There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie β uncorrected β many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.
Heβs a national embarrassment.
But, but, but trump said he had defeated ISIS. π
The key question in American politics now is whether public disapproval of Trump will grow fast enough to save our democracy before Trump builds such a crushing dictatorship that public opinion no longer matters.
The fact that Trumpβs minders didnβt stop him from announcing his ridiculous, fake βpardonβ on Truth Social should worry us all. A person with a loose grasp on reality and a lack of impulse control has the nuclear codes.
Trump has as much power to pardon Tina Peters on state charges as I have the power to award the 2025 World Series trophy to the Chicago White Sox.
