The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

"Were he trying to raise the cost of diesel, Trump would be hard pressed to improve upon the combination of trade wars, tariffs, and a Strait of Hormuz-choking Mideast war. At this point, he may as well propose doubling the 24.4 cents per gallon federal diesel tax."

On Tuesday, Trump unveiled America.gov. Right now, it functions as an AI chatbot that bases its answers on government sources. The functionality of America.gov at launch was awkward for Trump. By providing summaries of gov. data and reports, it debunks many of the falsehoods that Trump promotes.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
