A rare bit of good news: right-wing media companies Nexstar and Sinclair decided the advertising money the Kimmel show spins off is more important than doing Dear Leader's bidding. This is a loss for Trump, at least for the moment.

Can anyone believe economic numbers coming from this government in the USA? They were always skewed away from reality, but now government people are getting fired for reporting anything that reflects badly on the current administration.
#DumbAllOver
Trump regime has disappeared billions of dollars of taxpayers' money -- not even Congress has been able to trace what it's being spent on, and who's getting the loot.
Congress isn't barely trying -- Republicans are complicit and the Democrats are not just powerless but incompetent.
Some journalists from smaller organizations are trying. They don't have subpoena power.
Given Trump world's epic corruption, the unaccountable billions are plainly that way by by design.
Trump is adding a 100% tariff to branded pharmaceuticals made outside the US.
This move could be devastating to the disability community.
It will likely drive costs up and create more supply chain issues at a time when we’re already seeing unprecedented medication shortages
Pay attention to who is actually calling for violence. Arizona Republican Fascist Representative John Kingman calls for WA Representative Jayapal’s hanging. https://azmirror.com/2025/09/25/john-gillette-gop-lawmaker-calls-for-democratic-congresswoman-to-be-executed-for-urging-trump-protests/

Solid roundup from 404 Media, one of the best new journalism orgs...
From Teen Vogue, which is doing some of the best journalism about the extremist cult now in charge of the U.S. government:
We need to assume that every masked person kidnapping people off the street is a criminal, whether employed by the Trump regime or not.
For technical details:
There's a guest worker visa (H-2A) for people to come work on farms in the US.
It turned out to lots of "whoops there's slavery going on" problems.
DOL put in anti-slavery controls to clamp down on it in 2024.
Trump got rid of them in June.
