NEW: President Trump spent much of the year as a steamroller

But as 2025 ends, he seems much smaller now

Republicans took losses and are starting to defy him. He seems out of touch and focused on legacy. And Epstein won’t go away

Trump Is Suddenly Looking a Lot Smaller
The president is no longer dominating his party or the country in the way he once did.

Wondering why your utility bills are getting so expensive?

AI could be a big reason why.

AI data centers cost a ton to upkeep, and big tech companies are passing on those costs to local communities.

I'm pressing for answers.

We need to fix the skyrocketing cost of health care. But Congressional Republicans won’t work with Democrats to fix it unless Trump tells them to.

Republicans care more about what Donald tells them to do than about people getting the health care that they need.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Elon Musk and Trump’s DOGE was actually one of the most inefficient and dishonest efforts of all time. They produced negligible savings at ENORMOUS cost to human lives and our national security.
