UH-OH: TOP right wing newspaper TURNING on Trump
The Wall Street Journal, traditionally supportive of Trump, is showing skepticism about his administration’s economic policies and chaotic leadership. A recent column by Holman Jenkins subtly criticizes Trump’s team, warning that even Republicans are growing uneasy. This reflects growing cracks within the right-wing establishment, though they remain cautious in openly condemning Trump.
THEY'RE COMING FOR YOUR MONEY: Social Security breaking, long lines, crashes
Social Security is being sabotaged through staff cuts, system failures, and inefficiencies, making it harder for people to access benefits. This is part of a broader strategy to create a crisis and then promote privatization. By breaking these systems, they hope to sell privatization as the only solution, ultimately profiting from the misfortune of vulnerable Americans.

The sickest $h!t they've ever done?
Kristi Noem filmed a campaign-style video inside El Salvador’s mega-prison, using the imagery to promote Trump’s mass deportation policies. The administration is deporting people without due process, even to countries they have no connection to, despite court orders to stop. This spectacle is designed to instill fear, normalize authoritarian tactics, and bypass immigration law. The goal is not just enforcement but to demonstrate open defiance of legal constraints.

Dem DOMINATES Fox News, leaves hosts SILENT
Greg Casar exposed GOP efforts to cut Medicaid and Social Security while billionaires like Elon Musk profit from federal contracts. He and other progressives are shifting Democratic messaging toward economic justice, emphasizing how these cuts hurt working-class Americans. Casar’s approach demonstrates how Democrats can effectively challenge right-wing narratives on platforms like Fox News.
