Changing Times.

 

Trump desires to promote Trump TV to promote his propaganda. Trump also said that he desires CNN to not be at the United Nations to report on the news. That shows to the world that he harbors hatred of dissent of his administration's policies and his hostility towards the press in general. This is so bad that some Republicans are eliminating the name of Trump from their campaign websites in order to salvage their campaigns. The 2026 midterms are coming up very soon. The Republicans' great big bill has promoted the tax cuts to the super rich and cuts benefits from the poor and working class. We know that Republicans make the largest cuts from health care in American history. This bill allows the Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire, which will cause premiums to possibly double. Hospitals will then face huge financial losses, causing health care costs to increase massively. There are cuts to food stamps. Trump cut SNAP with the biggest cuts in history, and a growing number of Americans go hungry with food banks struggling to supply people to get food. That is why now the Southeastern Virginia Food Bank is struggling to get more food supplies, and they are asking for people to give them more food via groceries, etc. Farms can suffer too. Energy costs go up, and Trump has cut alternative, renewable energy resources. Trump is the worst President of the 21st century and the top five worst Presidents in American history in my opinion.

Lithuania's main airport is closed due to a drone threat. This is Vilnius Airport. It is no secret that Putin not only wants to conquer Ukraine, but Eastern Europe in general. We now know that Poland has issued an alert in the country's eastern part, as Polish military aircraft have taken to the skies. The reason is that Russian drones have gone into Polish airspace for months now. NATO fighter jets have been scrambled over Latvia. The United Kingdom prepared its households for major disruption as Poland warned of possible Russian strikes. If a peaceful resolution is not reached, we have a high probability of WWIII before the year 2040. This is no hyperbole. This is reality. Russia demanded Japan remove U.S. Typhon missile systems deployed on Kyushu, despite plans to store them with the U.S. military in Japan after September exercises.

Now, MS Now, CNN, and Politico have sued the Trump administration over the Trump regime banning all three of the media organizations from being at the White House. Donald Trump has underestimated democracy. In a true democracy, people are free to disagree with him, and the media has the right to ask him and any President (regardless of party affiliation) tough, uncomfortable questions about policy and strategy. This is about the freedom of the press being maintained in American society. No one should strip the media of the power to do their jobs of reporting the news, analyzing information, and asking political leaders relevant questions about many issues. Many lawmakers have opposed Trump's media ban, like Senator Corey Booker, and other people like Rep. Beatty. The First Amendment says that freedom of speech and freedom of the press can't be banned or totally restricted. Trump doesn't want the press that disagrees with him inside of the White House, which shows Trump's disdain for the press. Obama is right to say that it would be unimaginable if he were to ban FOX News on the White House grounds. The major U.S. networks, including ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and FOX News, even suspended all coverage of President Trump's public events in protest of the White House revoking press credentials for certain media outlets.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris will campaign for El-Sayed in Michigan. Harris has shown massive class, as many of the Uncommitted voters refused to support Harris in 2024 over the Gaza conflict when Harris publicly condemned the brutal murder of Palestinians in Gaza. These same Uncommitted hypocrites are trying to gain us black people's support. The Uncommitted crowd contributed to the existence of Trump's 2nd Presidential term. Yet, Kamala Harris has shown incredible grace in trying to cause El-Sayed to defeat Mike Rogers. Mike Rogers refused to even debate El-Sayed, which showed Rogers' insecurities about his views and his allegiance to the MAGA cultic movement. We shall see what will happen in Michigan. It is no secret about the elephant in the room. There has been tensions among some members of the black community and some members of the Arabic community for years in Michigan. That tension will take years to heal, but we have to follow the Golden Rule and not embrace bigotry or discrimination. We have to do what is right, and advocate for black liberation at the same time.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with Trump on Monday afternoon. This took place at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence. They had a meeting for an hour behind closed doors. The two walked out together to a podium on the lawn. This comes when Trump has record-low approval ratings. Mamdani is playing coy with Trump insisting that he talked to Trump about improving the lives of New Yorkers and how to use the power of government to take on the cost of living crisis. This is silliness. Trump launched a criminal, illegal war in Iran that has driven gasoline rates up 27 percent in a year. Trump's budget law has caused thousands of residents to be stripped of their SNAP benefits. About 1.5 million people in New York state are stripped of their Medicaid coverage because of the big Trump law. Mamadani said to promote an agreement to create a conversation between City Hall and the White House on building over Sunnyside Yard in Queens. This housing plan will be funded by private developers. Trump wants to promote sanctions against the International Criminal Court (trying to force the ICC to drop its arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu when it is plainly obvious that Netanyahu committed war crimes against the Palestinians as documented by independent researchers). Mamdani said that he didn't encourage New Yorkers to protest Netanyahu's planned visit to the UN General Assembly on Thursday. The reality here is that we can't whitewash Trump or the agenda of fascism and oligarchy that the MAGA movement consists of. We must publicly oppose the MAGA agenda and progressively fight for democracy.
