SHAMELESS: Donald Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects across the U.S. funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 infrastructure law that Trump opposed and tried to derail. (NYT)
It's feel like we're counting down to the first mass killing of US citizens by the US military.
Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

This isn’t education, it’s indoctrination. The Trump administration gutted PBS and NPR not to save money, but to control the narrative. In their place, PragerU is moving into more classrooms.
Already in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Idaho schools.

Trump seems insistent on making it virtually impossible to resist the conclusion that he’s shitting large orange bricks about what’s in the Epstein files.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

“Time is running out. And the president who promised to ‘demolish the Deep State’ is watching from the White House.”

Trump continues to insult his base and implicate himself in the Epstein Files
Trump: I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.
