Trump is angrier, more erratic, and more dangerous than ever — and those closest to him know it. How close are we to his own cabinet using the 25th Amendment against him? Here's how it might go down.

Trump Accounts Were a GOOD Idea. He Just Made It an Icky One.
What started as a bipartisan savings concept now comes with stocks you can’t reject, a five-year lockup, and some very happy billionaires.

What is “conservative-based science”? If the science is worth doing, it will be reviewed favorably. Are particular drugs “conservative”? Or does she just think those that help marginalized groups shouldn’t be available? Seriously. If we have the ability to HELP vs HARM, then we should.

Trump‘s cash gifts to government employees, violate ethics rules, which exist to promote loyalty to the United States over loyalty to one person. He doesn’t get to break the law just because cash bonuses were “his longtime practice” in the private sector. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
washingtonpost.com
Trump gave $45,000 cash gifts to Natalie Harp, two other close aides
Financial disclosures show the sums were equivalent to nearly one-third of each of their salaries. Experts say the gifts are without precedent and may violate the law.

1/ Just in: An anonymous federal worker has filed a whistleblower disclosure warning that the U.S. Postal Service's attempt to create a system to regulate mail voting for the midterms has been "rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed." @propublica.org has the details 👇
Screenshot of the top of a whistleblower disclosure titled "USPS Rushed Implementation of New and Untested IT Systems Threatens U.S. Ballot Mail Delivery." Addressed to Senator Blumenthal, the first point details how the whistleblower has "significant concerns about the USPS's secretive, rushed, chaotic, and fundamentally flawed process for the creation and implementation of an entirely new and untested set of IT systems" intended for the 2026 midterms.
