Stop Repeating the Vast Undercount of Gazan Deaths. It Is Ten Times Greater. nader.org/2025/02/22/s...

Current issue—just out—of the acclaimed Capitol Hill Citizen features 14 specific impeachment articles against Trump, written by constitutional law expert Bruce Fein.

There wasn’t a domestic passenger aircraft crash in the U.S. since 2009. Since Trump became president on January 20th, there have been 6 crashes. Trump has dismissed critical workers at the FAA. Is this Making America Crash Again?

The @nytimes.com— whose reporters, like other reporters, are banned from going into Gaza and sending back the truth—has printed some good reports and features on the violent repressive occupation of Palestinian lands. But too many of its headlines have been biased in favor of Israel’s government.

To show how Trump has destroyed political and ethical norms—During President Eisenhower’s term in office, his longtime chief of staff, Sherman Adams, had to resign because he took a vicuna coat as a gift from a textile industrialist in New England.

The January 25, 2025 edition of @nytimes.com devoted two full pages to what they called Trump's "unprecedented number of conflicts of interest for a sitting president."

Trump is backing off on his campaign boast that he would bring down “prices” on day one, citing his limited power. Another campaign lie to his supporters that he got away with. Trump voters—Watch the prices rise. Food, fuel, healthcare and more.

Trump must disclose all his government contracts with the full text immediately. He must disclose his income tax reports immediately. Trump must disclose his medical records and medical history. The people have a right to know.

Musk has made clear that his poisoned tusks are goring into two kinds of federal programs—Federal law enforcement agencies that are investigating him and his various businesses and peoples’ social safety net programs, as with the suspension of payments to millions of recipients.

Trump is nullifying the freedoms and protections of the American Revolution and rejecting the Declaration of Independence. He is defiantly violating the U.S. Constitution, its controls over dictatorial government, and its powers exclusively given to Congress.

Trump says he wants to take Greenland and he doesn’t count out the use of military force. If this aggressive tyrant sends the Marines, he will be attacking an autonomous part of Denmark, which is a member of NATO.

Since Trump took office, egg prices have kept rising. He tore into the Democrats during the campaign on egg prices. He hasn’t said or done anything yet. A dozen eggs are over $7 now in many areas of the country. No wonder he’s against wind power—he sees wind power as challenging his hot air! -R

The plunge in the stock market based on Trump’s announcement of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada was suddenly reversed when he paused for a month. The market then surged back.

Did you notice that the Trump/Musk spending cuts go after peoples' programs like Medicaid, social safety nets, and budgets for enforcing laws against corporate crime?

Trump signals his vengeful corporatist identity in unique ways. Moving into the White House, he took down the bust of the venerated Hispanic farm labor leader Cesar Chavez in favor of a bust of President Andrew Jackson, the slaver and mass killer of fleeing American Indians.
