Donald Trump wants 'fighting communism' to be the GOP's midterms theme. The man is seizing the central bank, nationalizing industry, and printing money with his face on it. I worked for him. The guy IS the communist threat.

“It was always bad. And now it’s at a breaking point.” That’s how a VA psychologist described mental health care for veterans after the Trump administration hollowed out the system meant to serve them. That same psychologist described one-on-one sessions for the veterans who need them most being pushed online, with some cut to as little as 16 minutes. In one case, individual therapy was replaced by group sessions packed with as many as 35 veterans at once. Hundreds of mental health staffers have left the VA under this administration and haven’t been replaced. So when a veteran needs more time, more care, more attention, it simply isn’t there. The VA now has around 500 fewer psychologists and psychiatrists than it did a year ago, and the numbers keep falling. This is the country’s largest health care system, serving 9 million veterans. They face mental health challenges at higher rates than the rest of us. They die by suicide at roughly twice the rate. When their care is neglected, it costs lives. Secretary Collins was handed a fundamental responsibility, and veterans are paying the price for his failure to meet it. We must not stay silent while those who served scream out for someone to listen. propublica.org/article/democr…

VIDEO | "Six people have tried to jump off the [USS Lincoln]. The most recent was last Monday." Multimedia producer Andrew Brown has claimed there is a severe mental health crisis aboard the USS Lincoln, asserting that the Navy is actively quashing reports of the unfolding emergency. In a video published on Instagram, Brown highlighted extreme conditions facing the crew, stating, "They've been deployed a total of 271 days, 250 without a port of call. That's unheard of ... They have not been to port in 38 weeks." According to Brown, the crew is enduring severe supply shortages, moldy showers, and a lack of basic hygiene products like deodorant and toothpaste while eating poor-quality rations. He emphasized the severe psychological toll of the deployment, revealing, "Six people have tried to jump off that ship. The most recent was last Monday. When you have not touched land in 38 weeks, in over 200 days, things start to happen to you mentally."

Wolf: If Mamdani put price controls on product like pharmaceuticals, if he bailed out farms, if he took stakes in private companies, if he said the energy companies are making too much money, if he proposed credit card caps—you would all go apoplectic, as would your viewers.  That's what President Trump is doing. You could argue he is the most powerful socialist in the country today.

The Hofstadter book looked at periods of anti-intellectualism in America, some of the years during Jacksonian Democracy between 1830-60, the KKK and anti-evolution in the 1920s, McCarthy era late 1940s to 50s. It’s safe to say we are in one of those periods. Today’s White House antivaccine anti-science EO = anti-intellectualism’s best representation

This is checkmate by Iran. They know we have no munitions left. And far from begging, they’re openly saying THERE WILL BE NO DEAL between Iran and the United States under Donald Trump. Trump has officially given us the most spectacular geopolitical failure/defeat in U.S. history.

Trump has just given a $1.6B no-bid contract to Barnard Construction to build a border wall through eastern New Mexico. Barnard Construction's chairman coincidentally gave Trump $1M in 2024.

The FBI retrieved a lot of phone records from Epstein, but there are no phone records covering 2016 in the Epstein files—at the least the half that Todd Blanche let us see. I guarantee those records would answer a lot of questions. For example, why did Epstein email Ken Starr 22 minutes after the Washington Post received the Access Hollywood tape? Why were the Russian UN Ambassador and Peter Thiel the people he wanted Starr to meet? Those records exist somewhere and we need them. They would establish communications channels between Epstein and several nodes in this network and show the causal chain more clearly. Nevertheless, we already know the operation to cooperate with Russian intelligence to take down Hillary Clinton was the most serious political crime in American history. We got 3 corrupt SCOTUS Justices, enormous damage to the economy, our reputation, and our resources. Hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Everything that happened after this is fruit of a poison tree and should be considered illegitimate. This is what they’re all really scared of. Because they know all of this chaos is part of a bad dream brought on by a gang of thieves who stole a decade—and counting—from all of us.

I note that Epstein invited Clinton investigator Ken Starr to the meeting with the Russian government & Peter Thiel—a few hours before Access Hollywood & the Podesta emails were released. That weekend, Trump’s team scrambled to find “Clinton accusers” before the debate.

The lead for every network news broadcast should be the president falling asleep in the middle of a press conference in the Oval Office for the umpteenth time. But it won’t be and likely won’t be mentioned or shown. Again. What a joke network news is.

How do we know the US is low on munitions against a second rate Iranian military? Because the Pentagon sent a frantic letter asking defense contractors to come up in 21 days with ways to dramatically speed up production of munitions. This is a major US strategic failure.

A Dubai-based company paid Trump $12.5 million dollars last year. The payments seem to be related to new real estate developments, but they also came at the same time that it was getting support from the Trump admin to develop data centers in the US. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner paid $120 million for a swath of coastal Albania to build a resort. Problem is the seller is an Albanian gangster (based in Miami, of course), and the land belongs to a bunch of villagers. @WSJ uncovers this wild story: wsj.com/world/europe/j…

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Atlantic: Raytheon and Lockheed, the makers of the Patriot air defense system, officially justify their concerns with intellectual property theft and technology transfer, but what they are really worried about is that the Ukrainians will find a way to improve the Patriot and then produce it in large quantities faster and for much less money than they do in US.

An American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities. As the US president renews his threats to claim the vast Arctic territory, materials to prepare for drilling were brought ashore in recent days on Greenland’s eastern coast.

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history. We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else. His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as Trump BEFORE America. His treachery - some done for power and profit, and some purely for pathological reasons like paranoia, revenge, and contrarianism, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives. And a good deal of it might not have happened but for our legacy media's widespread normalization of his disorders.
