On this date last year, Donald Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush-money payment in 2016 to the adult-film star Stormy Daniels.

The Trump administration released a report last week that it billed as a “clear, evidence-based foundation” for action on a range of children’s health issues. But the report, from the Make America Healthy Again Commission, cited studies that did not exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

The end goal is a real university education being for wealthy white men only, like it was before WWII. They also want K-12 public schools being turned into preparing you for low ceiling, low expectation jobs instead of higher education.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Trump wants 1 million deported, but despite his lies there aren't many murderers and rapists. Instead, they arrest teens for Driving While Brown, or use a ploy to disappear refugees who come to immigration court The pathetic truth behind ICE's masks. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

We are already losing the brightest minds from our universities because of Trump. We are deporting brilliant students that might’ve stayed in the US after school. We are, in real time, experiencing a brain drain in this country. Now we are going to make it impossible to afford medical school…⬇️

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.
