The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The Trump administration firing nearly all of the Special Education workers at the Department of Education sends a clear message:
They don’t believe that children with disabilities deserve an equal education.
The cruelty is staggering.

The Trump administration plans to continuously monitor the 50+ million U.S. visas-holders for "anti-American" social media posts that could get them deported. The threat will chill free speech, which the First Amendment protects regardless of citizenship.

“Continuous Vetting” of All Visa Holders Is Impossible, but the Threat Alone Chills Free Speech
Government claims of AI-powered surveillance create an illusion of total oversight that encourages self-censorship without actually improving security.

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
