if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

NEW -- During the campaign, Trump promised over and over and over and over that he would "immediately" bring grocery prices down, starting on Day 1.
It is now Day 97, and you will never guess what has *NOT* come down, not even a little!

Trump Promised Lower Food Prices On Day 1. 99 Days Later Has Delivered The Opposite.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov praises Trump, saying he is “the only leader on Earth” who recognized the need to address the “root causes” of the war — meaning justifying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Note that most of the hospitals in Boston are affiliated with Harvard. When Trump says he's "going after Harvard", he's actually going after our medical care.

The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, tells Trump that he will not return a Maryland man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to his country. Trump and Rubio agree with the announcement, in direct defiance of the Supreme Court.

Another betrayal to the service and sacrifice made by the officers who defended the Capitol. Trump directs the justice department to reimburse Jan. 6 rioters for refunds of the restitution payments they made to cover damage to the Capitol.
He doesn’t support the police…he never has.

The negative impact of this is immeasurable. Please use your voices! I lost my young son in law last year.
It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.
This is 21st century Nazism.
Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.
Where is the global outrage?
The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.
