AI systems have gotten smarter, they no longer need to be told basic information. AI Companies are now desperately seeking expert data, which necessarily comes from people with PhD‘s who won’t put up with poverty.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.

It’s between democracy and oligarchy and or (authoritarianism).

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

Know the truth.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, Public Law 119-38, became federal law on November 19, 2025. The statute gave the Department of Justice thirty days to release all unclassified records relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

Summer 2026: Authorization vs. Appropriation: Congress has approved the policy framework and spending ceiling for defense programs. U.S. defense program it is massive. It is not the final, actual funding amount. The $900.6 billion is an authorization number only.

2026 Major Issue: Our Health Care Crisis: Government? Trump tariffs accelerated the crisis. “The U.S. is the only industrialized country without national health insurance.” The U.S. healthcare crisis stems from skyrocketing costs, high cost insurance, provider shortages, an people needing more care.

Yesterday—the WH has taken over DOJ's X account to handle the increasing controversy about Trump’s inclusion in the Epstein files. “The account is taking on a sharper tone that has a rapid-response campaign edge and less of the stodgy just-the-facts tone associated with the department.”

Expect the first notices to be sent to approximately 1,000 defaulted borrowers the week of January 7," a department spokesperson told NPR. The spokesperson said wage garnishment notices are expected to increase on a monthly basis throughout the year.
I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

A December 2025 investigation by The New York Times found that of 346 high-dollar donors who gave at least $250,000 each to causes favored by Donald Trump, 197—more than half—have received significant benefits during his second term.

The Trump administration is explicitly pushing Baghdad to "eliminate its dependence on Iranian sources of energy" in favor of U.S. companies and regional partners like Jordan or the Gulf states.
Trump forced Iraq to stop paying Iran for gas, so Iran turns off the flow, DUH! SO: Trump => no electricity for Iraqis ‼️

- Iraqis left without power after Iran 'entirely' halts gas exports

Stoppage cuts 4,000 and 4,500 megawatts from the national power grid, according to Ministry of Electricity

Only when millions of Americans get engaged, turn out to protest and vote, and take ownership of our democracy can we collectively defeat autocracy. “Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed”—has never been more apt.

Americans that voted for Trump, overwhelmingly reject what he is doing. Trump was unhinged (and is more so today), and intent on doing exactly what he said (deporting millions of people, enacting an international trade war, selling out our allies, aspiring to become a dictator).

Moderate Republicans are nonexistent. The myth of moderate Republicans willing to make deals on a bipartisan basis dies hard. But when the Senate Republicans near-unanimously rubber stamps the most extreme, unqualified nominees.

Republicans care not one bit about their own constituents. Pointing out that slashing Medicaid and SNAP, zapping Affordable Care Act subsidies, messing with vaccine guidelines, and enacting cost-raising tariffs disproportionately hurt red states, especially rural residents, falls on deaf MAGA ears.

The Trump administration announced on Monday that it would pause leases for ongoing offshore wind farm construction projects. A statement from Secretary of the Interior said the halt was “due to national security risks identified” from the Defense Department’s “completed classified reports.”

Trump’s policies on tariffs is a disaster for American businesses & Healthcare.

Impact is global - Automotive, agriculture/farming, technology, manufacturing. Export declines, market loss, lower incomes, reduced trade, production shifts and uncertainty. Result: Lower investment and volatility

Basically, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States taking the 5th on national TV to avoid answering why he did one of the most disgusting things any DOJ official has ever done in US history.

Trump’s political trauma. The cruelty is almost unbearable — the destruction of USAID, the pursuit of undocumented immigrants, the breakup of families, the arrests and detentions without due process, the bombing of small boats in the Caribbean and killing of more than 100 people, and so on.
