The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Since inauguration day, President Trump’s DOJ has already fired, punitively transferred, or forced out dozens of career civil servants. @rparloff.bsky.social looks at "the pettiest and most pointless firings so far," which targeted more than a dozen young Jan. 6 prosecutors.

Dear Press, Please stop with the Gaza stuff and keep your eye on the ball. Yes, it’s stupid and outrageous, but while you are distracted, Trump is committing crimes against hard working Americans. He’s committing crimes and abusing his power. Sincerely, Maggie A Hardworking American
