Under Trump 2.0, freedom of speech has taken a beating, the First Amendment has become a punching bag, from late-night comedians to members of Congress. Punishing those who speak too loudly seems to be the true cultural policy of this administration.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

Confessions of a Radical, Woke Leftist Whew, this is a tough one to write, but Iโ€™ll try to get it out if youโ€™ll bear with me.

Iโ€™m so fully, hopelessly, and unrepentantly woke that I actually give a damn about people other than myself.

In saying all of this, I am the antithesis of MAGA Americans.

And thatโ€™s how I know Iโ€™m doing life right.

The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector itโ€™s meant to oversee.

POTUS doesnโ€™t care about your health or your childโ€™s health.

Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.

UNC Admin Can Now, Officially, Secretly Record Faculty The new policy prohibits students from recording class without permission but explicitly allows administrators to surveil professors for any โ€œlawful purpose.โ€

โ€œThe University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently rolled out a new policy that permits university officials to record classes without notifying the instructor. Itโ€™s a practice administrators have used in the past to investigate professors but have now formalized in writing.โ€

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) โ€” Alberto Castaรฑeda Mondragรณn says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friendโ€™s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man โ€œpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.โ€

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldnโ€™t remember he had a daughter.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Obsessed With My Tweets Just Before His Deathโ€”And Now I Know Why The new Epstein Files drop reveals that just weeks before the arrest that would lead to his death, Epstein was focused on the thesis of my 2019 bestseller, Proof of Conspiracy. The reason shocked me.

(๐Ÿšจ) This is a personal investigationโ€”after finding my name multiple times in the Epstein Filesโ€”that transformed into a novella. It changes how we must see the Trump-Epstein Scandal. Itโ€™s long, fully sourced, and harrowing.

And it goes places youโ€™d never guess.

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social's arrest & the threat to sue Trevor Noah are warnings to every journalist in America. The message from this administration is clear: cross us, and we'll come for you. I break down what this means for press freedom in my latest Substack article and video. Link in reply.
