The 1st thing this admin did was rapidly remove “DEI” from the military. Now we’re in a losing war, running low on munitions and cash, troops are jumping ship, and an adversary is mocking us with Legos. Instead of deflecting with “remember DEI,” they should just bring it back.

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.
Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.
Trump discloses 327 unreported stock trades made a day before his first tariff pause
Their disclosure, more than 14 months after they occurred, is the latest revelation to fuel calls for greater scrutiny of the president’s financial assets.

A new analysis found that the mortality rate for people in ICE custody has skyrocketed during Trump’s second-term mass-deportation campaign.
Far more people are now in ICE detention than in prior administrations, and a far greater percentage of those detainees are dying.
