@LauraMiers I’ve checked out of a lot too. I’m in a never-ending crash right now and I’ve had to just withdraw to protect my mental health. 6 years of this and it just gets harder every damn day. Zero hope for improvement 🫠
@DrNeilStone He should seriously be arrested for voluntary manslaughter for every person that dies. This entire reckless and dangerous administration should be charged with voluntary manslaughter for everyone that has died since taking office
Trump's Deranged Authoritarian Coup: Firing the FEC to Annihilate Democracy and Rig the 2026 Midterms
In a psychotic escalation straight out of a dictator's playbook, Donald Trump has now fired the three remaining members of the Federal Election Commission after his disgusting voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act, was rejected.
Drunk on power and protected by a spineless, corrupt Supreme Court that just handed him the keys to the kingdom, Trump has obliterated the last remaining guardrail against total electoral domination. The FEC — the independent agency that polices campaign finance and prevents outright cheating — is now gone. Destroyed. Neutralized.
This madman didn't get the laws he wanted to rig the game, so he simply eliminated the referees entirely.
With the 2026 midterms just 100 days away, Trump has removed every institutional obstacle standing between him and absolute control of the ballot box. This isn't politics anymore. This is a full-blown authoritarian takeover happening in real time.
He's not even pretending. This is a naked, shameless power grab by a deranged tyrant who sees democracy as nothing more than an annoying speed bump on his path to unchecked rule. Congress won't help him cheat? Fine — he'll fire the watchdogs. Courts won’t stop him? Even better.
America is now staring directly into the abyss. A rogue president has just dismantled the final firewall protecting free and fair elections, and the country is sleepwalking toward one of the darkest, most illegitimate election cycles in its history.
This is how democracies die — not with tanks in the streets, but with a smiling autocrat in a suit signing termination letters while the institutions meant to stop him cheer him on or cower in fear.
We are on the precipice — and this dangerous, unhinged madman is shoving us over the edge.
An antivaxxer who claimed vaccines killed her twins has been arrested.
Why?
Authorities think she actually suffocated her children.
An antivax liar—who'd have thought?
Why aren't the antivaxxers talking about this, I wonder?

UPDATE—ICE refuses to release body of man shot in Houston to his family.
Agents stripped him of any form of ID after they shot him—then classified him as "John Doe."
ICE is demanding family submit biometric info to confirm identity.
"He deserves a proper funeral," said lawyer.
Lawyer interview statement starts at 30 seconds into video clip.
"They haven't made it easy—they have made it very, very difficult."
"We are demanding the release of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's body."
Lidia Terrazas News doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.
There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's @JRogalskiKHOU found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.
Renee Good all over again.
BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret TORCHES Trump and his alcoholic, drug-addicted administration on the floor of the Luxembourg Palace: "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction!"
This might be the greatest MAGA takedown of all time. Nobody was spared...
"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he said, referring to RFK Jr.
Malhuret's comparison to the mad Emperor Nero is fitting. It's said that he fiddled while Rome burned. In Trump's case, he's building a ballroom while the entire world goes up in flames.
"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces," Malhuret continued, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security," Malhuret went on, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Bondi previously worked for the Ballard Partners firm which raked in $115,000 a month by lobbying on behalf of Qatar.
"A Turkish proverb says 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus," said Malhuret. "His fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term."
"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction," he continued. "Bomb more to win more."
This is how the world now sees the American president: as a pedophile desperately exploiting his role as commander-in-chief to obscure the fact that he preyed on children with his long-time pal Jeffrey Epstein.
"There isn't a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to enrich himself without ever forgetting his family. A Boeing plane offered by Qatar," he said, referring to the $400 million jet that Qatar "gifted" to Trump. "Investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere. Stock market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from."
"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."
Rarely have we heard such an exhaustive yet succinct distillation of the Trump administration's rampant criminality and incompetence. By focusing on individual Cabinet members and what makes them uniquely unfit for office and then expanding the aperture to the broader patterns of corruption and malignancy, Malhuret delivered a master class in political messaging.
Every mainstream outlet in the U.S. should be running this speech to show Americans what the world thinks of our leaders.
Since they won't, please make sure to like and share to spread this far and wide!
@LauraMiers Makes me increasingly nauseated that this is the world we live in now. We’re trapped in the jar like tiny lightning bugs just slowly suffocating, while the disgustingly apathetic assholes running our country watch on in amusement, constantly tapping on the glass.
ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.
According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.
It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.
His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.
DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.
We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.
Everyone should be outraged.
ICE shoots protester in stomach with "less than lethal" bullets—had to be rushed to hospital.
Agent leans out of moving car to shoot with one hand—while driving with other.
Injures protester in abdomen at point blank range.
Car was not blocked—attack was completely unprovoked.
Video clearly shows every other ICE vehicle exiting the driveway unobstructed.
Protesters were just holding signs on the public sidewalk.
Incident occurred outside the Broadview ICE Processing Center in Illinois.

I’ve been tracking The Pathogen Apocalypse since it began in the US almost immediately after COVID in 2020. I’ve kept LISTS of bizarre outbreaks, as science confirmed COVID causes immunodeficiency & rapid warming/drug resistance is accelerating our pathogen hell.
This is the Bad Place.
I also carefully tracked reports of the same pathogens as they surged in other countries. Now they’re everywhere, & everyone is puzzled. I’m a layperson. Where in the hell are the scientists & doctors, you ask? Most of them got hit by the Back to Normal bug & they haven’t paid attention since 2021. This won’t end in our lifetimes. I wish people would wake up.
A 10-year-old girl with long Covid struggles to walk and can barely speak, six months after catching the virus
Kate Davies from charity Long Covid Kids said it could be higher as "many children go under the radar".
What are we doing 💔 https://t.co/3YsldhF0QU
@LauraMiers The public - and healthcare workers! - have no idea. I had to go to the ER at Cleveland Clinic and not one person in that ER knew about Long Covid. They have an LC Clinic! 🤦♀️🫠😷🤷♀️
There has been almost no information. Media was like, “They’re bringing back flu vaccines. Mission Accomplished, we don’t need to cover this ‘flu’ anymore.”
Critical thinking is dead, everyone’s a Pod Person.
IT’S JUNE. Years of warnings were ignored. Bad things ahead.
The antivaxers are in shambles yet again.
Those mRNA COVID-19 vaccines still work and have an effectiveness of:
1) 50% against COVID-19–associated emergency department and urgent care encounters.
2) 55% against COVID-19–associated hospitalization.
Science doesn't give a DAMN about how you feel...
