I don't think we'll ever be done with the "I fucking told you so's." The Food Research & Action Center reported that these changes would weaken safety nets and worsen food insecurity for low-income families: frac.org/blog/project...

Trump’s sons have recently invested in dozens of defense companies. Those companies have now raked in a staggering $6 BILLION in current or future government contracts. Corruption? Or coincidence? You be the judge.

The claim that pediatricians vaccinate children for profit is not only false—the economics are often the opposite. They vaccinate because they’ve devoted their careers to protecting children Turning that commitment into an accusation of profiteering is an especially vile lie.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

A 911 call from Salem, Oregon, describes a disturbing encounter in which a woman was screaming that she was a U.S. citizen as ICE goons broke her vehicle window and forcibly pulled her out. According to reporting on the call, the woman suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs.
