Inflation hasn’t been this bad in years. Trump took a healthy economy and ran it into the ground with reckless tariffs and a Middle East war that is driving up the cost of everything from groceries to gas.

📣 NEW: Tennessee Republicans stripped Democratic lawmakers from House committees after they protested the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander that dismantled the state's only majority-Black district.

Tennessee Republicans strip Democrats from committees after protesting anti-Black gerrymander
The move appears to punish the entire Democratic caucus for its resistance to the gerrymander and removes every Black elected official in the Tennessee legislature from the committees they served on.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

In 1968, scientists briefed the American Petroleum Institute on the potential impacts of CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels. Their report projected that atmospheric CO₂ could reach 400ppm by 2000, causing “serious world-wide environmental changes.” Last year, Earth’s CO₂ levels surpassed 430 ppm. 😑

Trump avoided punishments for his post-2020 abuses, but many of his lawyers did not
For the attorneys who helped fuel the president’s efforts to remain in office, the consequences have been severe. Take John Eastman, for example.
