Health care costs are skyrocketing, grocery prices continue to increase and electricity costs are surging.
What is the Trump Administration focused on?
Reducing free entrance days to our national parks, denigrating African Americans, and engaging in cult-like dear leader shit.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

The proposed "hostile takeover" of Warner Bros. Discovery (including CNN) by the right wing Ellisons turns out to be a takeover by foreign entities & the Kushner-Trump family. It's a bid that is truly hostile to the interest of the United States.
Making America Great Again, means, of course, putting key media assets under the control of the Gulf Arabs—provided the Trump-Kushner family gets a nice cut on the action.

Lots of small business owners support Republican politicians, thinking the GOP is pro business. But Republican politicians support "big business" – i.e., big corporations and ultra wealthy individuals – not "small business." That pattern has been exacerbated for 15 yrs by Citizens United.

Homicidal Hegseth needs to be thrown in the brig. Note that a presidential pardon would not save him in the case of international war crimes.
There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.
As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.
Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.
