From the start of 2021 through the 2024 election, the FTC fielded about 960 complaints of immigration scams — like fake attorneys or people impersonating federal officers — per year. In 2025 alone, the agency received nearly 2,000 complaints.

While Trump has railed against drugs coming into the U.S., his DOJ has declined to prosecute nearly 5,000 federal drug cases, including trafficking and money laundering — 45% higher than the average of the prior three new administrations.

This is the posting of a sick, sick human being. This is DJT.

Trump posted on his social media account about the people of Iran that "I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!” This is the very same Trump who once listed protecting the people of Iran as one of his rationales for war.

If Pete Hegseth is placing the College of William & Mary in the same catagory with Yale, Columbia and Princeton, then William & Mary is in fine company, and Hegseth can go pound sand.

Preview of tomorrow’s ‘To the Contrary” podcast: CBP has a long history of criminal behavior… The per capita crime rate of CBP officers is higher than rate for undocumented immigrants. A stunning level of misconduct…

A government that operates without regard for due process of law is by definition, arbitrary and unjust, exercising power without accountability or respect for individual rights. This is tyranny.

One more reason to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels….

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. Published Oct. w/ @readfrontier.bsky.social

When Trump rants about "free speech," what he really means is that he wants to censor anyone who points out his lies. European (and others) who publish factual information about hate groups to counteract their propaganda are being banned from entering the USA. In the US, he is attacking news orgs.

I will be exceptionally hard pressed to vote for anyone in the future who is not 💯 into trust-busting. Big tech, big entertainment, big corporations, big private equity: they all need to be systematically and immediately broken up. Our democracy cannot succeed without it.

I am starting to believe that a majority of Americans simply don’t care that the president of the United States is unfit, though they see it every day. They simply don’t care. This is insanity.

Vance said that homes are being bought by illegal aliens which is the cause for the housing crisis. The data says something entirely different: In 2024, over 25% of home sales were to investors. You know - the people Trump & Vance serve.

Our privacy laws need to mirror Europe’s and be even stronger. Only by protecting individuals’ privacy will we get control over the information mega corporations.

The people who lost their lives in Texas are a direct result of the election of Donald Trump. If you don’t understand why, you are ignorant and blind to what he did to the NWS.

I warned in 2015 about Concentration Camps if DJT were elected. Everyone laughed and said he wouldn’t be elected. I warned again in 2020 and 2024. The only people laughing now are the ones building the camps.
