Trump doesn’t like data. He eschews facts. He wants investors and consumers — and everyone else — to be in the dark, because then he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

In March, a security guard at Club Dwntown sucker punched Rafeal Montoya and killed him. Police officers watched it happen and did nothing and the security has never been charged. Now he’s missing.
Turns out the security guard was Charles "Brandon" Recor, a Proud Boy with a history of violence.
