🔎 What to Watch Next

Trump is laying the groundwork to go after Social Security and Medicare — How soon before seniors and disabled Americans feel the full impact?

The Pentagon is in chaos under Hegseth — Will Republicans in Congress step in before Trump’s loyalist purge cripples military readiness and results in a disaster for the U.S.?

Trump is purging national security agencies — How long before intelligence failures put lives at risk?

Trump’s surveillance state is targeting students and immigrants — How long before it’s used against the broader public?

Martin’s confirmation would give Trump control over the DOJ’s most sensitive office— Will Trump succeed in installing Ed Martin as permanent U.S. Attorney for D.C.?

Republicans are rewriting ballot access rules — Will citizen-led initiatives on abortion and voting rights be blocked in 2026?

Can universities survive Trump’s funding threats and loyalty tests? — Will elite schools cave to ideological conformity to preserve federal support?


💡 Key Takeaways

Trump’s Economic Warfare — His erratic tariff policies are pushing the U.S. into a recession or worse and destabilizing global markets. Prices are already spiking, and manufacturers warn of supply chain disruptions. This is economic destruction.

Judicial Independence Under Attack — From targeting judges to ignoring court rulings, Trump is testing how far he can go in dismantling the rule of law.

Kleptocracy on Display — Trump and his family are profiting off foreign influence and crypto schemes, while federal agencies that oversee ethics and transparency are being hollowed out.

Public Health in Peril — NIH layoffs, grant freezes, and a collapsing CDC leave Americans more vulnerable to disease, disinformation, and delayed medical care.

Academic Freedom Under Siege — Trump is weaponizing funding to purge universities of dissent and enforce ideological loyalty.

The Border Crackdown Is a Constitutional Crisis — Mass disappearances, fabricated “national emergencies,” and unlawful separations are testing the limits of unlimited executive power.

Energy and Climate Data Are Being Silenced — With EIA gutted and park monitoring suspended, science is being erased, endangering public health.

The Press Corps Is Being Replaced by Propagandists — Extremists and disinformation agents are being elevated to deliver official White House propaganda, while legitimate journalists are pushed out and sidelined.


🚨 Call to Action

Call Your Republican Senators: Demand They VOTE NO on Ed Martin

Trump is trying to install Ed Martin—an extremist with over 200 appearances on Russian state media, praise for a Nazi-linked insurrectionist, and a purge of January 6 prosecutors—as the permanent U.S. Attorney for D.C.

Senate switchboard (202) 224-3121
