The Milwaukee schools where they found lead- some kids with detectable levels- are shut down and they’re getting no government help because all the experts in that department were fired by Trump - DOGE regime.

It isn't just the stock markets collapsing. Trump is also collapsing the U.S. Dollar. That is a very, very bad sign. Not only will American consumers be paying for tariffs in higher costs, but the purchasing power of their money will not stretch as far. #TrumpEconomy www.cnbc.com/2025/04/21/u...

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

"One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, I'm not a gang member. I'm gay. I'm a barber.' I believed him. *** He "began to whimper," as his head was roughly shaved, "folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell." He
"asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again."Photo of Andry featured on MSNBC. Chyron reads:
