@MarcoFoster_ @JamesCarville Under one supposed president, there's been more government corruption than in the entire 250 yr history of The United States. That's not an exaggeration. It's actually overwhelming more corruption. Trump technically has 2.5 more years in office. How bad can this get?

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

James Carville: “I’m just waiting for the NYT to drop a 5-point series on the depth of this corruption. The corruption is beyond anything, it might be that there’s been more corruption under the administration of Donald Trump than there has in the 250 year history of the US”

BREAKING: DOGE DISASTER! Huge outbreak of deadly flesh-eating parasites erupts in Texas cattle thanks to Trump and Elon’s DOGE cuts!

Eradicated from the U.S. for a half-century, a dangerous flesh-eating parasite known as the New World screwworm is back, thanks in part to the Trump administration’s tariff squabbles with Mexico and foreign aid cuts.

Detected in a Texas calf near the Mexican border, the discovery is triggering serious fears for the American cattle industry and already sky-high beef prices.

The parasite’s larvae burrow into living tissue of livestock (and occasionally pets or humans), causing severe damage and potential death if untreated. This marks the first confirmed case in Texas since 1966.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says they’ve deployed teams, started quarantines, and are releasing sterile flies, but the Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller ripped the federal response as too slow and ineffective.

He’s now calling on Trump to “throw every available federal resource” at the problem before it becomes a full-blown disaster.
The outbreak comes at the worst possible time.

The U.S. cattle herd is already at its lowest level in 75 years, and beef prices are through the roof. A wider infestation could cost the industry billions and hammer American families at the grocery store.

Critics point directly at Trump administration policies that likely worsened the situation. First, ongoing trade disputes and tariff threats with Mexico have slowed joint eradication efforts.

Elon Musk's DOGE dismantling of USAID has seriously hampered regional efforts to stop the parasite’s northward march through Central America and Mexico.

And finally, the administration’s dismissive approach to climate change, even as warming temperatures expand the areas where this pest can thrive.

Once again, Trump’s incoherent “America First” agenda of trade wars, aid slashing, and science denial is coming back to bite American agriculture and consumers in the wallet.

MAGA gets its jollies by “owning the libs” by cutting funding for policies that protect the country against the outbreak of disease, but right now a literal flesh-eating parasite is showing up on our southern border and now we are much less prepared to handle it.

If this latest Trump-era disaster has you furious about rising costs and incompetent governance, like and share!

🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.

The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.

Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.

BREAKING: The House passed a measure to provide almost $2 billion in aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions against Russia on Thursday, sending the measure to the Senate behind a 226-to-195 tally — despite GOP leadership in full opposition to the measure.

By supporting Ukraine, we deter aggression everywhere, combat authoritarianism and reaffirm that the United States does not abandon those who fight for freedom.

While some have been unwilling to stand up to Vladimir Putin, the Congress must.

Tonight, House Democrats did.

Before I paste the text that came with this photo, I just want to say this: Senator Tammy Duckworth has more courage, bravery, self-sacrifice and compassion in her pinkie finger than President Donald Trump has in his wildest dreams. Read on:

November 11, 2008.

Barack Obama had been president-elect for only seven days. The world was tracking every move he made. Reporters wanted statements. Cameras wanted moments. Washington expected spectacle.

Instead, Obama chose silence.

That Veterans Day, he traveled to the Bronze Soldiers Memorial near Soldier Field in Chicago and walked beside a woman who understood sacrifice more deeply than most Americans ever will.

Her name was Tammy Duckworth.

Four years earlier, she had lost both her legs in Iraq.

In November 2004, Captain Duckworth was co-piloting a Black Hawk helicopter north of Baghdad when a rocket-propelled grenade tore through the aircraft.

The explosion nearly killed her instantly.

Her right leg was destroyed. Her left leg was shattered beyond repair. Her arm suffered severe damage as the helicopter crashed to the ground.

She survived.

But survival came with months of surgeries, rehabilitation, and learning how to live inside a completely different body.

At Walter Reed Army Medical Center, during some of those darkest days, a junior senator from Illinois walked into her hospital room.

Barack Obama sat down and listened.

Not for headlines.
Not for cameras.

He listened as Duckworth explained how wounded veterans were being failed by the very system meant to support them.

Later, he asked her to testify before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

She spoke honestly about delayed care, endless paperwork, and veterans abandoned after returning home from war.

Obama remembered every word.

In 2006, Tammy Duckworth became Director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. She fought relentlessly for veterans struggling with disability claims, PTSD, and broken bureaucracy.

Obama’s Senate office came to know her well.

She kept calling.
Kept pushing.
Kept fighting for people too exhausted to fight alone.

Then came Veterans Day 2008.

Obama could have attended any major ceremony in the country. Instead, he asked Duckworth to join him at a quiet memorial ceremony closed to the press.

No speeches.
No performances.
No political theater.

Just shared silence between two people who understood what service actually costs.

Tammy Duckworth never stopped serving.

She later became a congresswoman, then a United States senator, and the first sitting senator to give birth while in office.

But that quiet moment in Chicago still says the most.

Because real leadership is not about being seen.

It is about showing up for people when nobody is watching.
