Trump doesn't care about lowering prices or helping working people survive.
His campaign promises are a lie.
While regular people struggle, he and his billionaire buddies are getting even richer.

Prem might be the most important journalist in America right now, the only person covering this story with the urgency it needs. Absurd that there isn't wall to wall coverage of this.
SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.
He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Lil’ Marco once knew history. Now he’s a ChristoFascist?
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

The US is intending to remove the "X" for gender on passports. I have non-binary friends and don't see why they have to pick an option that makes no sense, or how "X" harms other people. So I commented on the Federal Register.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

So instead of getting lower prices, people are ... losing access to healthcare?

Diversity in clinical trials is about health, not politics. The major of research in the past was done on (mostly white) men. If trials do not have a diverse pool, the results are not broadly applicable.
The scrubbing could affect the ways researchers and companies test drugs and medical devices

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.
