How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Among a long list of awful things that it caused I’d like the point out the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Africans & also that it put a lot of women of color out of work

A year since Trump's return to power, America's a far weaker nation, under relentless assault by its own president.
Weakening the United States, and democracies around the world, serves Trump's desire to increase his power and wealth. But Trump's the enemy of the nation he was elected to lead.
Make America Weak
Trump is systematically undermining America's interests at home and abroad.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

In light of more damning reporting on Trump and Epstein's disturbing pursuit of women—many of them models—read our 2016 investigation into the former models of Trump Model Management, who said they violated immigration rules and worked illegally.

Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The “corruption scandal” Ukraine story is being pushed by the United States to help Russia, the objective is to pressure Zelenskyy into surrendering; ultimately Trump and his criminals have negotiated lucrative land deals with Russia and want to grab Ukrainian territory too.

They preach “life” and “Christian values,” then turn their backs on actual people.

This administration has made cruelty the norm, from children to trans folks to immigrants.

We deserve better than this.

Across Eastern Europe, they have what are known as "lustration" laws that do exactly this for people who were in the Stasi and its various equivalents. It's a model we should be examining.
Absolutely sadistic.

A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.

The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.
Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary
