Thanks much for this assessment of where America stands right now. It is refreshing to see glimmers of hope that we may not be destined for full-fascism (yet!). Accountability across the board absolutely must be a top priority if we can get ourselves out of this mess.

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It's becoming chillingly clear: an administration that gleefully dismantled USAID and consigned countless people to slow death by starvation and preventable disease will not hesitate to inflict hunger on tens of millions of Americans by cutting off SNAP funds.

If you are wondering how to help people in your community, financial donations to food banks are incredibly important right now.
The USDA has instructed states to deny SNAP nutrition benefits.
As we have said repeatedly at Defend Public Health, MAHA is a joke when kids in the U.S. are hungry.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.
Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

5. What this means is that taxpayers will be on the hook for a $40 BILLION bailout of Argentina. This is a bailout that benefits billionaire hedge fund managers, like Bessent's friend Robert Citrone. But Trump has admitted it's of little benefit to the United States as a whole.
