‼️ NEW: Trump appointed Housing Official Bill Pulte as acting DNI even though he had NO security clearance.
- Background investigation started days AFTER he was chosen.
- Unvetted Trump loyalist will now head US Intelligence.
Trump is an ongoing threat to National Security.
Instead of lowering costs for Americans, the Trump Administration is focused on writing blank checks for ICE and rewarding January 6 rioters who attacked the officers defending our Capitol.
I voted no.
Trump issued a full, unconditional pardon to former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff, Cade Cothren. They were convicted of fraud, bribery, theft, conspiracy, and sentenced to federal prison. https://t.co/xLad3PTCBx
What Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche have done is criminal. They have broken the law.

Her charge: not one investigative lead pursued from 3.5 million files on the largest US sex trafficking ring.
A whistleblower reports that the Trump admin planned to classify 2.7M living people as dead, nullifying their Social Security numbers, to force them out of the country.
A flesh-eating parasite that was supposed to stay eradicated is now confirmed in Texas livestock, and you can thank the same administration that gutted the agencies built to stop it.
The New World screwworm, a parasitic fly whose larvae literally burrow through living flesh and can kill an animal if untreated, was officially detected in a three-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas this week. This was not a surprise to anyone paying attention. The pest had been spreading northward through Central America and Mexico since at least 2022, and experts projected it would reach the U.S. by 2025.
What changed the math was the trump administration cutting roughly 15 percent of the USDA's entire workforce, around 15,000 people, including those responsible for monitoring and fighting exactly this kind of agricultural threat. The program that fights screwworms works by releasing millions of sterilized male flies to disrupt breeding, a slow, science-dependent, international cooperation kind of effort that requires, well, a functioning government.
Instead, DOGE took a chainsaw to the USDA so the wealthiest Americans could pocket a bigger tax cut, and now the cattle industry is staring down a potential $10.6 billion disaster.
And here is the part that hits everyone at the kitchen table: beef prices are already at a record high, with ground beef hitting $6.69 a pound in December 2025, up 72 percent since 2020. The screwworm border closures have already cut off over a million head of Mexican feeder cattle that American feedlots depend on, and the USDA is forecasting another 6.9 percent increase in wholesale beef prices in 2026. This is what happens when you gut the agencies designed to catch these problems early so billionaires can get a bigger tax cut.
The irony is almost too much: the ranchers and agricultural states that went hard for trump in 2024 are now the ones watching flesh-eating maggots show up in their herds. A #Texas state Republican rep had been sounding the alarm for over a year while, as he put it, "federal regulators moved at a snail's pace." That snail's pace had a price tag, and every American buying ground beef is paying it now.

Trump is dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system that took a decade to build and was designed to run for 25 years.
When we need answers about our oceans and our climate, this network is where we get them.
More than 900 instruments sitting thousands of feet beneath the Pacific and Atlantic are the reason we can predict coastal flooding, protect our fisheries, and track how a warming ocean is changing our climate.
It’s also our eyes on a major Atlantic current that scientists fear is weakening. If that current collapses, it triggers catastrophic weather changes across the entire Northern Hemisphere.
There is no plan to store the equipment, there is no plan to replace the data, and the scientists who spent years learning how to operate it say that expertise cannot simply be passed on to the next person.
This Administration is not just cutting a program. It is making us permanently blind to threats we cannot afford to miss.

I asked Senate Republicans who among them thought Trump’s slush fund was a good idea. None replied and silence filled the chamber.
I then offered Republicans a chance to shut it down by voting for my amendment.
They chose not to. They are simply too scared of crossing this corrupt president.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has accepted an invitation from New York Knicks owner James Dolan to attend an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden next week.
I guess it's really no surprise that 13 out of James Dolan's 15 players are black and that Trump is a known racist. The fact that Dolan would invite Trump (a racist) to attend the NBA Finals, shows you the lack of respect he has for his 13 black players.
