Today President Donald J.

On June 23, 2026, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) outlined the “unprecedented corruption of [the] Trump White House” in the first 500 days of the president’s second term. “This is a national crisis,” Murphy said, “and we should start acting like it.”

“The pay-to-play schemes. The pardons for donors. The contracts for friends. The favors for Trump’s children. The use of inside information to make money. This is not a disconnected series of scandals. This is a system.

“Government is supposed to serve us. It is supposed to lower costs, supposed to protect our families, strengthen our schools, make life better for people.

“But Donald Trump believes that government exists to serve him—to make him richer, to protect his friends, to reward his donors.

“That is why he doesn’t have time for you. He doesn’t have time to solve real problems because he’s making money for himself and his friends.

“And he’s betting that the corruption will be so constant that we stop hearing it. That the outrage will just turn into exhaustion, and the exhaustion will just turn into acceptance.

“We can’t let that happen.

“Because once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent.

They trained us to be supplicants. We petition power. We appeal to power. We protest, which is essentially asking power to notice our displeasure and choose to respond. The entire framework assumes we are outside the room where decisions happen, and the best we can do is knock loudly and hope someone opens the door.

To put it plainly, things have mostly gotten worse for a long time. It’s a sunk cost and we must evolve if we want to turn the tides.

(via REMOVAL COALITION)

The Removal Coalition is the grassroots force behind the Remove the Regime movement, whose laser-focused mass protests and nationwide lobbying efforts are delivering the unwavering mandate to Congress: “Impeach. Convict. Remove.” We are a nation under siege, and cannot afford to mass mobilize millions of Americans without a concrete and unified demand for regime change – right here, right now.

Rep. Al Green and veterans join the Removal Coalition to unveil a singular act of patriotism underscoring the urgency of removing Donald J. Trump from the US presidency

“We are enduring many of the same violations of fundamental rights that provoked the Revolutionary War against King George III 250 years ago,” said Jessica Denson. “Every day that Congress fails to remove Trump from office, Members are sanctioning this tyranny, aligning themselves against the Declaration of Independence, and dishonoring the generations of sacrifice made for our liberty. We’re bringing a sacrifice right to their doorstep to force them to confront their immense betrayal, and demand a change of course.”

“Our communities and our rights are under attack while Trump wages unpopular, endless wars. That’s exactly why it’s never been more important for everyday people to resist this slide into authoritarianism. We commend the act of moral courage we’re about to witness,” said Matt Howard of About Face: Veterans Against the War, one of the organizers of the April civil disobedience action against the Iran war at the Capitol Rotunda.

Recent polling shows Americans’ support for impeachment at historic highs, rivaling support for impeachment in the wake of Trump’s deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection, and during the height of the Watergate scandal that occasioned President Richard Nixon’s resignation under an impeachment cloud.

There are currently eight impeachment resolutions on file against Donald Trump and his cabinet. H.Res. 353 and H.Res. 1155 name twenty of the hundreds of impeachable offenses Trump has committed since he illegally assumed the presidency in violation of section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. A vote could be forced on these resolutions by any member of the House under Rule IX.

At present, Congressman Green is the only Member to have both filed articles of impeachment and invoked this privilege during this administration. When he last forced a vote in December, there was a 77% increase in support for impeachment in the House since the first vote he forced in June of last year. The Removal Coalition continues to pressure House members to force votes on impeachment now — before the midterms.

House Democrats released an investigative report accusing the Trump administration of engaging in wire fraud with taxpayer funds by allegedly diverting money intended for the nonpartisan America250 celebration into a White House-backed group called Freedom 250. The report alleges donors were misled into sending money to Freedom 250 instead of America250, potentially violating federal wire fraud and charitable solicitation laws. Investigators also claim the administration took control of the National Park Foundation to operate outside normal transparency rules while using a tax-exempt nonprofit to advance Trump’s political agenda. The report has not been formally adopted by the House committee, and the allegations have not been adjudicated in court.

I know this is a surprise, but as Trump made billions on crypto, the people who invested in his crypto lost … billions.

Try to hide your shock …

“The values adopted by Western Christianity are, foundationally, the opposite of the teachings of Jesus. Jesus talked of loving our neighbors, especially the ones we dislike. Today, Western Christians spread hate and indifference, and they even sanction hunting down immigrants. The Samaritans shared a common border with Israel during Jesus’s day; but instead of cheering the deportation of his Samaritan neighbors, Jesus both welcomed them and learned from them.”

Companies are realizing artificial intelligence can't do everything after all, prompting them to rehire employees to grow their businesses

Employers who laid off workers citing AI are already starting to regret it

Automaker Ford is reportedly rehiring hundreds of experienced human engineers to work on quality issues that automated systems couldn’t address.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia and IBM are also refocusing on human capital after making layoffs while investing in artificial intelligence technology.

Making employees redundant while using more AI may not necessarily offer the best route to business growth, analysts say.

Companies are rapidly changing their minds that artificial intelligence can “do it all” by rehiring employees to propel their businesses forward, as investors fret over the longevity of the ongoing AI boom happening in the financial markets.

Automaker Ford is one of the latest companies to reverse course. It is reportedly reemploying hundreds of experienced human engineers to work on quality issues automated systems couldn’t address. “Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it,” Charles Poon, Ford’s vice president of vehicle hardware engineering, told the media.
