Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains.
Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year
Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year.
Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.
@U_me_n_da_truth@justfara I get it your fine with it as long as it your guy doing it. I guess this is the draining of the swamp you mentioned (letting all the crooks who can donate out of prison and into positions of power.)
FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f

@DanClar43312619@NubianThinker@QasimRashid You mean the same agency perpetrating and doing said crime against brown people since it inception? Also 50% of the exonerations are black people seems they get it wrong a lot especially when it comes to black people wonder why?
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES”
That was the actual argument just made in defense of politicians trading stocks.
Members of Congress make $174,000 a year.
The median American income is roughly $63,000. (3x less)
Meanwhile the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour… also unchanged since 2009.
And you’re seriously being told politicians need access to insider trading to survive.
The system is designed to lead earth to neo-feudalism.
And it’s becoming more brazen by the year.
Asset ownership consolidates upward.
Living standards decline downward.
The middle class gets squeezed from both ends and disappears while the elite class accumulates more wealth, more influence, and more protection.
Leaving behind a permanent underclass.
And a permanent political-financial aristocracy at the top…
🚨THIS IS INSANE.
Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, sons made 3–5x returns buying tariff refund rights.
Howard Lutnick pushed tariffs, then handed his company Cantor Fitzgerald to his sons.
They bought refund claims of tarrif at 20–30 cents on the dollar.
Now the U.S. government is paying them at 100 cents as refunds go live.
This will go down as the biggest insider trade in entire U.S. history.
Americans were forced to pay more.
The corporations who charged us more get the refunds.
The people who implemented the tariffs are making money because they bet they’d be illegal.
Everything this administration does is a scam to profit off the exploitation of taxpayers.
Merkley: You didn't include deficit numbers in the budget. Why not?
Bought: We didn't want to confuse the country.
Merkley: The deficit can be extracted if you do the math—it's $2.2 trillion in 2027. Perhaps you didn't include it because you didn't want to draw attention to it.
Stepson calls ICE on stepmother—to steal her inheritance.
He had the 86 year old woman detained—just days before their probate court hearing.
"They handcuffed her hands and feet like she was a dangerous criminal."
Prior to arrest he already cut off her water and electricity.
Marie-Thérèse came to the U.S. with a valid visa to marry an American named Billy—a man she had met in the late 1950s when he was a soldier stationed in France.
She was waiting for her green card to arrive when her husband died suddenly in January 2026.
Marie-Thérèse remains locked up in the Louisiana ICE Detention Center—notorious for a "black hole" of systemic human rights violations and life-threatening medical neglect.
Her family has contacted the French Foreign Ministry—fearing the inhumane conditions will kill the frail 86 year old with heart and back issues within a month.

@looney_blu99215@HamDawg115 How many TDs did Bama score with the WR in vs with him out? Just a silly question. How much did the offensive efficiency change with him out the game? Same with Ohio?
@StevenMichaelY3@J_Sheets08@greendragonhq I see you will fight hard for your right to remain wrong and stupid no matter what the numbers say. Get you some more of that cool aid.
Guys your are trying to convince a cult member with facts it won’t work that’s why it is called a cult.
🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration has fired 113 immigration judges since last January… without due process, explanation, or stated cause.
And this isn’t just unusual… it’s almost unheard of.
Immigration judges are typically protected by strict hiring and removal standards, meant to preserve independence in the system.
So, seeing this many removed, in such a short time, is raising serious alarms.
Jeremiah Johnson, a former immigration judge in San Francisco, told the New York Times:
“On Nov. 21, I heard my afternoon case. It was a family of four Indigenous Guatemalans, a mother and father and two children. They were refugees who had suffered physical abuse. The father’s leg had been broken, and his brother had been killed. They were targeted for their race and ethnicity. They had a fear of persecution, based on past persecution, which the government didn’t rebut.
I granted them asylum. DHS waived the appeal. My last words on the bench to that family were: You’ve been granted asylum in the United States. That decision is final. Welcome to the United States.
One of the kids — I think he was in fifth grade — jumped up and clapped his hands together.
Later, I went to my office and signed onto my computer and found out I’d been fired. I was escorted out without time to print the letter they sent.”
This is why what the Trump administration is doing has never been about “the worst of the worst” or “doing it the right way.”
It���s about who the government believes deserves to be here… and who it decides doesn’t.
And when you follow that pattern long enough, it stops looking like isolated decisions, and starts looking like a system built around white supremacy.
