AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.
Trump's shutdown isn't just imperiling millions of Americans' healthcare coverage.

Don't forget what this is really about: keeping the release of the Epstein Files at bay.

Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio.
The government has been shut down for 22 days.
βWhat Trump is doing is creating more and more permission structures for people to carry out violence for his goals."
Experts point to Trump's encouragement of military generals to be more aggressive by using US cities as βa training groundβ to fight βthe enemy from within.β
Experts in civil unrest donβt think a civil war is around the corner. But theyβre still nervous about what happens next: βThe fabric of what binds America together at this point is basically on its final thread,β one source tells WIRED.
Israel returned 195 mutilated Palestinian bodies showing strangulation marks, torture, gunshot wounds to the head, and missing limbs and organs.
Israel has been doing this for 30+ years.

ICE becomes, by budget, the 13th largest military in the world. Obviously they need guided missles.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
