As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

TRUMP'S dismantling of USAID is estimated to have already resulted in 300,000 deaths, mostly from starvation. The USA farmers are screwed as they have no more markets, neither via exports, nor USAID exports. The cost of keeping those 300K alive would've been a small fraction of Trump's parade costs.

Transportation experts warn that running, at last count, 28 Abrams tanks, 28 Bradley fighting vehicles, 28 Strykers, and four Paladins, each behemoth weighing as much as 70 tonnes, could buckle the asphalt and smash power, water and telecom lines underneath.

The media has focused on the price tag and potholes. But history may mark 14 June as the ceremonial birth of US fascism

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Trump called Musk "a big-time drug addict" in a phone call shortly after their public feud. (WaPo)

Trialling my 7th biologic. My last chance for remission. But each monthly jab so far has given me such extreme exhaustion it feels as if my bones have gone soft and can’t hold me up. Mostly bed bound for a week now. My cat has not left my side 🥹. #psoriaticarthritis #chronicillness

Interesting reading the entire Trump article in @theatlantic.com that whilst his resurrection was catalogued in detail, no mention was made of the assassination attempts. Felt like a glaring hole in the story. I wonder why? #atlantictrumpstory
