Vance is hyping Trump’s so called
“war on fraud”
while suspending $259 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota.
This from the same Trump whose charity was shut down for fraud and who paid $25 million over Trump University.
Trump doesn’t fight fraud.
He is the fraud.

Iran said it is done dealing with the two emissaries Donald Trump has tasked with leading negotiations in the Middle East.
The country, which Trump began striking over three weeks ago, is not keen on any more attempts at negotiations with Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East,
Steve Witkoff, or Trump’s son-in-law,
Jared Kushner, both of whom were leading the nuclear negotiations with Iran before the war.
Iran now says it will only engage in negotiations with Vice Pr…

Even before extremist Republican Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office on January 20,
progressives warned of his fascistic tendencies and plans,
often citing his platform, and highlighting what former Labor Secretary Robert Reich calls “Trump’s playbook of dictators.”
But too few people, even on the left side of the electorate, listened.

Trump does not even pretend that his imperialism serves any purpose nobler than American domination

Instead, Trump promised short wars in which onl…

A year-plus into Trump’s four-year term,
polls suggest the American people aren’t just increasingly unhappy with his job performance;
they’re increasingly concerned about his mental capacity as well.

but it’s growing as an issue for
the 79-year-old Trump.
