US actor George Clooney has described US President Donald Trump’s administration as a ‘kakistocracy’, defining it as a government run by the ‘least qualified’ people.
No need for more renaming bodies of water here. Americans already call this entire fiasco TRUMP’S WAR.
Trump cares more about feeding his ego than helping the American people who are crying out for help. They want lower health care costs, lower gas prices and grocery bills, and for our troops to come home.

No mantras. No manifestation. No morning routines. No inner child. No higher self.
Only a rational examination of what the mind is doing, and how it constructs the reality you take for granted.
Practical Enlightenment. A Substack for readers who've had enough of the rest.

Remember MAHA is nothing more than an economic stimulus plan for the corrupt wellness and influencer industry. Anything coming out of DHHS has to be understood through the lens that the agency works overtime for multimillionaire influencers so they can peddle their supplements, peptides, vitamins, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, whatever they can buy in bulk, repackage, and resell at X1,000 markup. Often with $1,000-2,000 fake telehealth zoom calls
“A first-of-its-kind analysis by ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% after Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect in September 2021. The analysis also identified at least 120 in-hospital deaths of pregnant or postpartum women in 2022 and 2023 — an increase of dozens of deaths from a comparable period before the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The dizzying pace of Trump's corruption is hard to keep up with. So I'm going to help you.
The latest? An under the radar announcement from the White House that medical research grants will no longer be merit based. Instead, Trump will hand them out to loyalists.
Yesterday, the Pentagon listed 18 service members had died in the War in Iran.
Because 18 had, in fact, died.
Today, their website has 14 service members having died. Four service members were removed from the total.
Why?
Because the Trump admin reduced the number to reflect those deaths "not counting" since those service members were killed after Trump's "ceasefire" in April.
Yes, this is real.
Cause and effect:
Republicans in Congress voted last summer to cut food stamp budgets by nearly $200 billion. Now more children and families are going hungry in America.
Jared Kushner holds no government position.
Yet he is our Middle East Envoy.
The Saudis have paid him $100M and invested $2B in his firm.
He pushed for Saudi nuclear enrichment over the objection of national security officials.
Today his father-in-law made it happen.
But what about my paintings…
Y’all obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we rarely question why some wealthy people are never satisfied with what they already have.
Instead of banning Members of Congress from trading stocks, House Republicans are now pushing a bill creating new loopholes to keep this insidious practice going!
Trump has been pushing to increase military spending by hundreds of billions of dollars.
One of the reasons might be because Trump’s sons are starting to invest in defense companies and stand to make a profit.
