“The Early Death Epidemic” is a mystery. We will never know why the U.S. has been reporting record death since 2020. In 2022, the U.S. reported a 40% increase in deaths among working age Americans. In 2023, 34% more Americans 35-44 died than expected, & we reported the largest increase in pediatric mortality in over 50 years. The record death never stopped, only the data & media coverage ended.
We have never looked back. The End.
WE ARE DYING. Record disability & death has been normalized, & private equity has invested in every single industry related to this process.
I will never forget the 2017 Bloomberg headline, “Americans Are Dying Younger, Saving Corporations Billions.”
This is a business model.
The billionaires (and the trillionaire) have decided we all don't need a "middle class" anymore.
You'll go from peasants to slaves in a blink, and there are some amongst you that will applaud and celebrate their own enslavement.
Trump destroyed the teams at DOJ dedicated to going after kleptocrats and oligarchs like Putin, right off the bat. It was the first of many favors. Trump/Russia is no hoax. https://t.co/KspmgA2mec
The Trump administration just made it legal to kill 400,000 wild animals a year in secret. No public notice. No comment period. Just done.
The USDA finalized rules this April gutting decades of public participation requirements on 193 million acres of national forest. Logging, drilling, mining, road building — all can now be approved before the public ever hears about it.
That includes Wildlife Services — the federal program that kills more than 400,000 native animals every year. Coyotes. Bears. Wolves. Beavers. Mountain lions. Killed on behalf of ranching interests, with your tax dollars, on your public land. Now completely out of public view.
150,000 public comments opposing these rules were thrown out. Attorneys general from 17 states objected. Tribal governments objected. The administration didn't care.
"Information is power. Our voices are power. And the Trump administration is trying to strip both away so corporations can make a quick buck off our public lands." — Wendy Park, Center for Biological Diversity.
Who gave the government permission to kill 400,000 wild animals a year and hide it from the rest of us?

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.
The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.
Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.
The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

What an absolute insane, dystopian reality John Roberts' Supreme Court has unleashed on our country.
We always had a problem with money and politics, but this court has set the country back decades.
The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.
Think about that.
At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.
Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.
Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.
Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.
Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.
Governments usually spend money to build things.
This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

BREAKING: Acting AG Todd Blanche just refused to swear under penalty of perjury that DOJ’s slush fund is dead. That’s the clearest sign yet that Trump’s plan to use your taxpayer dollars to pay Jan 6 rioters is still alive. ⬇️
Republicans cut nutrition assistance and now over 770,000 children are at risk of going hungry.
This is so unbelievably heartless — all to give tax breaks to billionaires.
A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.
Donald Trump won’t let it open.
Here is why.
The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.
He called Trump.
Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.
Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.
Canada paid for the entire bridge.
Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.
This is corruption in plain sight.
A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.
Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

“You paid Iran $300 billion dollars to re-open a Strait that was open the entire time?”
“That’s right, Dave.”
“And this was after you defeated them 50 times?”
“That’s correct, Dave.”
