The Evidence
Continuing Reasons why the 25th Amendment is still center stage in a failing presidency.
Jimmy Kimmel says the Trump FCC leaned on ABC and its affiliates to keep Texas Senate candidate James Talarico off the broadcast. So the interview is going to YouTube — and the country ought to notice who keeps ending up there.
A Russian drone with a four-hundred-dollar computer for a brain flew itself to a Ukrainian gas station and killed three people. The moral line the world spent a decade pretending it would defend is now behind us — and the American government in charge of what comes next is playing golf.
A secretive computer program has already stripped nearly 900 Nebraskans with developmental disabilities of the round-the-clock care that keeps them alive. Under the president's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, it is only the beginning. Every state is next.
On September 4, Reuters confirmed what industry insiders had been whispering for months: Chinese suppliers are quietly refusing to ship the minerals that power American cars, weapons, phones, and turbines. The president who promised a factory renaissance has instead presided over more than 100,000 lost manufacturing jobs — and a supply chain now hostage to Beijing's whim.
For eighty years, America was the neighbor the world called first. In twenty months, one president has convinced our closest friends that our word is worthless — and the invoice is landing in Iowa, at the pump, and at the mortgage lender.
In Fort Worth, Republican commissioners just eliminated nearly a third of Election Day polling places in a county Democrats were poised to contest. This is not a spreadsheet decision. It is a firewall — and the White House's fingerprints are already all over the state's ballot.
American workers are producing more, taking home less, and getting the smallest slice of the national economy on record. Behind the statistic is a policy program — one that cuts food from families, breaks unions, and hands the Treasury to a class of donors who fly on the same planes as Jeffrey Epstein once did.
As US missile stockpiles fall below 40 percent of pre-war levels and demoralized crews spend a seventh month at sea, the President sinks a civilian Iranian oil tanker and calls the war "small potatoes." Congress is asking, in the quietest voice it dares: who is in charge, and are they fit to be?
Eighty-nine thousand factory jobs erased. A trillion dollars redirected upward. Safety inspectors sent home in a record-heat summer. Union rights stripped from a million federal workers. On the holiday built for the American worker, the ledger of Trump’s second term reads like a hostile takeover — and the next two years threaten worse.
On August 13, Donald Trump signed Proclamation 11055 imposing a 100% tariff on the exact drones his sons' companies stand to replace. By Friday's closing bell, Unusual Machines — where Donald Jr. sits on the advisory board — had rallied more than 20%. It was not a coincidence. It was a business plan.
A 17-year ICE veteran — a lifelong Republican who voted twice for Donald Trump — has told the Inspector General the agency shredded its own hiring rules to feed the President’s deportation machine. The result: recruits sent into American communities with badges, weapons, and unverified identities.
The UN Environment Programme has just conceded what the atmosphere was already telling us. In Washington, the response has been to scrub the word "climate" from federal websites, gut the disaster agency, and mint a commemorative coin. This is what dereliction looks like.
In his first turn at the White House podium, J.D. Vance told the country there is no war, no shooting, no responsibility, no timeline, and no reason to worry. Every one of those claims falls apart on contact with the evidence. What we learned Thursday is not only how this administration lies about a conflict Congress never authorized. We learned who is standing next in line — and how he plans to speak to us when he arrives.
In one summer, the administration eliminated the most affordable student loan plan in U.S. history, gutted income-driven repayment, capped federal borrowing, and slashed food, housing and health aid for the working poor — all while a war of choice with Iran and unlawful tariffs punished the same families at the pump, in the grocery aisle, and in the doctor's office.
Dan Driscoll is only the latest to walk away. Two dozen generals, admirals and service leaders have been fired, forced out or driven to resign under Pete Hegseth. What is left behind is a military stripped of experience, a chain of command shadowed by war-crimes allegations, and an accountability crisis reaching straight into the Oval Office.
