This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003. Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.” Approximately four hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on most trade tariffs, leading to a significant surge in the stock market. Do you think this is insider trading?

Dow shoots up over 2,000 points on the news that Trump is pausing most of his tariff scheme for 90 days. It's the kind of move that would generate massive profits for someone who had an early head's up. Speaking hypothetically here, of course.

This is important - GOP members of Congress own this crash as much as Trump. House and Senate seats will be up for election in 2026. We cannot let any of those enablers get a free pass because we are focused on Trump. Every Republican is to blame.
