BREAKING: Trump's tariffs blocked, "ILLEGAL"
A federal court has struck down Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, ruling they were illegal and beyond presidential authority. The decision, made by a panel including a Trump-appointed judge, effectively dismantles one of the core pillars of his economic agenda. Markets surged in response, as the ruling halts tariffs on countries like China, Mexico, and Canada, bringing relief to businesses.
I'm preparing to LEAVE THE COUNTRY
While David is not planning to leave the U.S. soon, he is preparing just in case the political climate worsens for people like him—naturalized citizens and critics of Trumpism. He’s exploring options in Canada, Argentina, and Europe, and has consulted legal experts about reentry rights. This isn’t about avoiding taxes or changing lifestyles, but about being prepared in Trump’s dystopia.

Jake Tapper's SHOCKING Biden claim is worse than Watergate
Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson are promoting a new book about President Biden’s alleged cognitive decline, which has received major coverage on outlets like Fox News and CNN. Tapper claimed on Piers Morgan’s show that the cover-up could be worse than Watergate. Conservative outlets are amplifying the story, using it to fuel broader attacks on Biden.

Viral speech triggers MAGA MELTDOWN
A commencement speech by 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley at Wake Forest University has gone viral, sparking backlash from conservatives. While Pelley never mentioned Trump by name, his remarks about threats to democracy, free speech, and rule of law were clearly pointed. Critics like Scott Adams and Megyn Kelly labeled the speech as “angry” and overly serious, while defenders saw it as a much-needed call to civic responsibility.

Please --- You are Guilty of Stirring the Pot ! No Way YOU are Leaving USA ---
ALL CODSWALLOP !
David, I think you are smart to look at all your options and being clear eyed about what dangers could befall you and your family. I support whatever decision you make. I wish my husband would be open to leaving. I am. I fear what is coming as long as we continue to have no institutions that are stopping him. I doubt the protests will work, even though I will continue to participate.
