In case anyone was wondering why Trump is pushing AI so hard and doesn’t want any government regulation.

The FDA has announced that 1.6 million eggs have been contaminated with salmonella, forcing a nationwide recall. Last year, the Trump administration scrapped regulations to limit salmonella and laid off hundreds of food safety inspection workers.

March 1: White House says it attacked Iran to "destroy its ballistic missile arsenal." June 17: Trump says it's "unfair" if Iran doesn't have ballistic missiles 🤷‍♂️

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile... Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts. And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets. War is a racket.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Donald Trump took up to 40% of FBI agents away from investigating serious crimes like child sex trafficking to do mass immigration round-ups… arresting folks that overwhelmingly have no violent criminal record.

I know the bar's set much lower for this one president, but it's awful that he live-tweets the news, spouting baseless speculations, rather than rely on the world's best information apparatus that has intel agencies and police depts on call. The president's role should be a calming one, not... this.

Federal workers are about to have their livelihoods upended because of this shutdown. We'll hear talk about "sacrifices" that the American people need to make. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion worth of taxpayer dollars.

This didn’t happen under Biden because he believed government should actually function on behalf of the people, not actively work against them in order to benefit the wealthy.

 commenting on the first government shutdown in 7 years occurring under Donald Trump, noting that the last one also happened during Trump's first term. The post sarcastically mentions Trump calling himself a "master negotiator."

Why do we still allow people with serious mental illness to buy guns? Because the first law Republicans passed under Trump in 2017, made it easier. There were over 4,000 mass shootings between 2017-2024, and this country elected him again. If that’s not proof America is sick, I don’t know what is.
