#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   It’s the biggest end run around the Clean Air Act by any president. In Trump‘s second term, he has given a total of 202 of the worst polluters in 39 states and Puerto Rico an exemption to continue to poison us. Chemical manufacturers, copper smelters, and coal burning power plants are some of his favorites. About 3.3 million people live within 3 miles of these facilities. 
Before Trump‘s return to office, chemical companies were losing their fight against the EPA— but Trump cares more for corporations and making money than the health of Americans or the planet. Trump appointed those to the EPA who are acting as the fox in the henhouse, along with every agency meant to protect us. They lobby for the industries they are meant to regulate. Most recently it was reported  industry executives provided the agenda for a meeting with EPA staff and then presided over the meeting. Trump nominated Aaron Czabo, a lobbyist for the powerful trade group AdvaMed to lead the EPA‘s air regulation office.
 The New York Times has reviewed over 10,000 pages of government documents and spoke to over 70 people, including former EPA industry executives. Trump enablers continue to cite threats to national security, a fallacy. One example of a cancer causing pollutant is ethylene oxide, a colorless gas used to make plastic soda bottles and to sterilize pacemakers—found by Biden administration officials to be 30 to 60 times as carcinogenic as previously thought. The Trump administration has not asked companies to present any case for the waivers they seek, all they had to do was send an email. It’s no coincidence that these industries backed Trump‘s reelection, and have donated to his pet causes. Until we elect those who believe in ethical science, our government will continue to fail us, weakening any protections based in fact. Please #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO   Es la mayor vuelta por la derecha al Clean Air Act hecha por cualquier presidente. En el segundo mandato de Trump, ha dado un total de 202 de los peores contaminadores en 39 estados y Puerto Rico una exención para seguir envenenándonos. Algunos de sus favoritos son fabricantes de químicos, fundiciones de cobre y plantas eléctricas que queman carbón. Aproximadamente 3.3 millones de personas viven a menos de 3 millas de estas instalaciones.   Antes del regreso de Trump a la presidencia, las compañías químicas estaban perdiendo su pelea contra la EPA, pero a Trump le importa más las corporaciones y hacer dinero que la salud de los estadounidenses o del planeta. Trump nombró en la EPA a quienes actúan como el zorro en el gallinero, junto con todas las agencias que se supone nos deben proteger. Hacen lobby para las industrias que deberían regular. Recientemente se informó que ejecutivos de la industria proporcionaron la agenda para una reunión con el personal de la EPA y luego presidieron la reunión. Trump nominó a Aaron Czabo, un cabildero del poderoso grupo comercial AdvaMed, para dirigir la oficina de regulación del aire de la EPA.   The New York Times ha revisado más de 10,000 páginas de documentos del gobierno y habló con más de 70 personas, incluidos ex ejecutivos de la industria de la EPA. Los seguidores de Trump siguen citando amenazas a la seguridad nacional, lo cual es una falacia. Un ejemplo de un contaminante que causa cáncer es el óxido de etileno, un gas incoloro usado para fabricar botellas de plástico para refrescos y para esterilizar marcapasos, que según funcionarios de la administración Biden es de 30 a 60 veces más carcinógeno de lo que se pensaba. La administración Trump no pidió a las empresas que presentaran algún caso para los permisos que buscaban, todo lo que tenían que hacer era enviar un correo electrónico. No es coincidencia que estas industrias apoyaran la reelección de Trump y hayan donado a sus causas favoritas. Hasta que elijamos a quienes creen en la ciencia ética, nuestro gobierno seguirá fallándonos, debilitando cualquier protección basada en hechos. Por favor, #VoteBlue

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3270   “The US will take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran.“ President Trump and Marco Rubio have made recent comments trying to drive turnout in Florida among Cuban-Americans. “Then we’re going to send Mark Rubio in to finish up the deal.“ The CIA has made social media posts too, “This is the moment to seize the opportunity to create the change you desire through a discreet partnership with the CIA,” was the reply to one of Marco Rubio‘s tweets.    This administration has isolated the island by blockades and by indictments of the former president, Raúl Castro, and five others last May. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said recently, “We reject all threats regarding US ambitions towards Cuba.” Trump is only seeking to solidify his support among the powerful Cuban-American voting block in Florida days before the midterms, even as the cost of living is the number one concern for voters. At least 68% of Florida’s Cuban-Americans oppose Trump‘s mass deportation actions.
 If the current administration cared about Cuba, shouldn’t they be supporting economic assistance there? Will Florida voters see through the last-minute pleas by this president?

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE   WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3271   In President Trump‘s first administration, his DC Hotel was the center for those trying to win favor with him by spending money there. All that’s changed this time is the location. Nearly $3 million has been spent at Trump‘s businesses, mostly in Palm Beach Florida, the center of spending.
 The Washington Post recently examined federal finance records, and found Republican campaigns and political action committees have poured money directly into the president’s pockets. Spending at Mar-a-Lago has more than tripled. Fundraisers, rooms, meals, and other expenses constitute the link between the Republican Party and the private businesses of this president. Lawmakers fly hundreds of miles from their own districts and Washington DC to spend money at properties Trump owns. It’s nearly the same amount that was spent at his hotel in his first term. This total doesn’t include any spending by dark-money groups.
 The largest spender is the RNC, then Trump‘s own super PAC MAGA, Inc., and the Republican Congressional Committee. Natalie Baldassarre, spokesperson for the RNC stated, “Our stakeholders love these venues.” Ever bigger scandals continue to compete for news headlines as the grifting continues, including his cryptocurrency schemes. Trump‘s income in 2025 was over $2.2 billion, according to OpenSecrets. It’s time for accountability.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3272 “The White House cannot decide what information Americans receive by punishing critical reporting… the public loses access and gets something closer to government propaganda,” said Katie Fallow of Knight First Amendment Institute. Six named plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit in federal district court over Trump‘s continuing decisions to limit press access. The White House still bans CNN from Air Force One. Further legal actions have been threatened about that. In ever more unhinged rants during press questions, Trump recently verbally attacked a British reporter and prevented him from being the designated print pool representative, an act of “retaliation,“ the president of the White House Correspondents Association said. The White House is still threatening Politico.
 Just recently Trump mused on social media that he’s considering moving the press corp out of the White House altogether. Can anyone get through to Trump? He wrote his longest-ever social media post recently because he was upset over comments made by Bill Maher on his HBO show. This is what the president chooses to focus on with prices going ever upward and people getting ready to vote.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3273   “Claim your child’s Trump account today.“ With the midterm elections days away, President Trump‘s IRS and the Social Security Administration have been emailing taxpayers urging them to sign their children up for new investment accounts. Republicans have decided on the title “President Donald J Trump‘s landmark Working Families Tax Cuts Law.“ It’s the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in actuality, the tax and spending law Trump signed in 2025. The Social Security Administration stated, “Nearly 70 million Trump accounts are open for all American children.”
 Both the Social Security administration and the IRS are run by Frank Bisignano. He was appointed head of IRS without being confirmed by Scott Bessent, the Secretary of Treasury. Democrats criticize Bisignano’s blatant partisan emails, full of praise for President Trump. The most recent email stated: “Your child’s Trump account may already have money invested in it through contributions from donors…however you must claim your child’s account to manage investments and receive contributions from family, friends and employers.” As of October 7, about $1.3 billion in $1000 deposits have been made, according to the White House. Just another vote-buying tactic right before voters go to the polls.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   A combination of deal-making and high-stakes diplomacy has defined Trump‘s attempts to end Europe’s bloodiest conflict since World War II, according to the New York Times’ reporting. One of Russia’s biggest energy companies, Novatek, would benefit from any deal discussed as it would use Novatek’s technology and the Russian company would own a stake in any Alaskan natural gas deal with Polar LNG.
 This is in addition to the possible sale of LUKOIL, one of Russia’s energy giants. Geoffrey R. Pyatt, former assistant Secretary of State for energy resources in the Biden administration, has said the idea of bringing Novatek into the high north of Alaska would be terrible on environmental, economic, and geopolitical grounds.
“This feeds the belief that Putin can get an out-of-jail-free card.” Of course, the deal would involve someone with ties to the Trump family.    Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr’s, said he held negotiations with Novatek about bringing its natural gas technology to Alaska. Polar LNG‘s proposal is to buy a giant 640,000 ton concrete-and-steel device from Novatek called a “gravity based structure,” that would be placed in the sea just above the northern coast of Alaska. Financing was not supposed to come from Russia. Novatek is already under US sanctions. Donald Trump waived the sanctions just last week as a pretense to keep peace talks going. Some top executives have resigned in protest over a company tied to sanctions being allowed to invest secretly into the possible deal.
 It’s a further insult to Ukraine, and should not be part of talks to end the war, said Ilya Zaslavskiy, a gas industry consultant. But we have seen what side Trump is on.  We have to #VoteBlue

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO   Una combinación de negociaciones y diplomacia de alto riesgo ha definido los intentos de Trump por poner fin al conflicto más sangriento de Europa desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, según los reportes del New York Times. Una de las mayores compañías energéticas de Rusia, Novatek, se beneficiaría de cualquier acuerdo discutido, ya que se usaría la tecnología de Novatek y la empresa rusa tendría una participación en cualquier acuerdo de gas natural de Alaska con Polar LNG.   Esto se suma a la posible venta de LUKOIL, uno de los gigantes energéticos de Rusia. Geoffrey R. Pyatt, exsecretario asistente de Estado para recursos energéticos en la administración de Biden, ha dicho que la idea de llevar a Novatek al norte de Alaska sería terrible por motivos ambientales, económicos y geopolíticos.  “Esto alimenta la creencia de que Putin puede conseguir una carta de libertad.” Por supuesto, el acuerdo implicaría a alguien con vínculos con la familia Trump.   Gentry Beach, un amigo de la universidad de Donald Trump Jr., dijo que él sostuvo negociaciones con Novatek sobre llevar su tecnología de gas natural a Alaska. La propuesta de Polar LNG es comprar un enorme dispositivo de 640,000 toneladas de concreto y acero de Novatek llamado “estructura basada en gravedad”, que se colocaría en el mar justo frente a la costa norte de Alaska. Se suponía que la financiación no vendría de Rusia. Novatek ya está bajo sanciones de EE. UU. Donald Trump levantó las sanciones la semana pasada como un pretexto para mantener las conversaciones de paz. Algunos altos ejecutivos han renunciado en protesta por permitir que una empresa vinculada a sanciones invierta en secreto en el posible acuerdo.   Es un insulto adicional a Ucrania y no debería ser parte de las negociaciones para terminar la guerra, dijo Ilya Zaslavskiy, consultor de la industria del gas. Pero hemos visto de qué lado está Trump. Tenemos que #VotarAzul.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3266   The American Foreign Service Association, the union for foreign service officers has heard anecdotes of senior foreign service members not getting jobs after going through interviews with questions that were political. If you are up for promotion as a foreign service official, you will be asked how you voted in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, a violation of federal law. Those at the top of Donald Trump’s State Department have made it clear—only Trump voters will be eligible for mid-to-upper-level foreign service roles. They were also told their political donation history would be examined, and any donations to Democrats would disqualify them.   “We are working with the house and other relevant committees to thoroughly investigate…all such claims,“ said Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the top democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The majority of the government workforce are permanent career staff intended to be protected by political influence.
 The State Department has added a “Fidelity“ section to the foreign services evaluation process, saying “Fidelity means upholding the constitution and the law and executing policy with loyalty to the American people and their interests...It emphasizes the critical importance of service, integrity and policy alignment about executing the president’s vision for foreign policy.” A recent test taker said there were questions about Reagan‘s tax policies, and the accomplishments of Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary of State on the exam. The Trump administration is facing legal actions against their efforts to identify supporters among the civil service.
A court order already required them to stop asking applicants to write a short essay on their favorite Trump policies. That’s fascism.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE   WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3267   Recent reporting show even though polls are suggesting Democrats will win both houses of Congress, the addition of $2.7 billion by Republicans and Elon Musk will not make it a sure thing. Elon Musk has become the largest donor in modern American history with his pouring of $446 million of his own money into this election, according to federal election commission filings. Former mayor Mike Bloomberg has given $60 million to Democrats. Republicans are hoping to blanket the airwaves and they are deploying more canvassers to voters’ doors.
 Democrats are trying to compete in states that President Trump won by large margins. Trump is traveling from red-state to red-state, playing defense. Some strategists worry about the reality of big challenges and growing expectations. Some deep red states have not seen the Democratic win in decades.
 Can huge amounts of Republican’s money defeat huge Democratic advantages on issues, the candidates, and the current political climate? Some pollsters say it may just be a type of modern blue wave where you win far more than normal, around all the “overheated expectations,” Molly Murphy, who has worked on previous campaigns said. Murphy said gerrymandering has left few House seats truly competitive.
 Democrats must flip four Republican-held seats and keep all of their own. In the ten Senate battleground races, four feature Republican incumbents, five are happening in states that Trump won by 11 points or more in 2024. Polling does show that Democrats are more enthusiastic about voting than Republicans this cycle, but there are still more Republicans in Iowa and Kansas than there are Democrats. Trump continues to say at his rallies, “I’m asking you to pretend I’m running… pretend I’m on the ballot.” 
 The Economist found the more partisan a state, the more polls have underestimated the strength of the dominant party. Ignore all polls, and just #VoteBlue.
Defy expectations.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3268   Before the midterm election has even taken place, President Trump‘s administration has filed a lawsuit to block the results of the Alaska Senate race.
The addition of a similarly named candidate—another Republican named Dan J. Sullivan, Jr. —They say it’s an attempt to mislead voters into voting for the wrong candidate. If the incumbent loses by a margin less than the number of votes his same named challenger receives, the administration asked the federal judge to bar the state from certifying the race’s results. Trump told reporters he has asked the Justice Department to pursue the legal challenge - “I’m the one that said do it.”
Attorney General Todd Blanche downplayed the reports, outside of a “doomsday scenario…but if, you know, to say there’s no circumstances that we would ever do that, of course I’m not going to say that.”
 The Trump administration has kept up pressure on state-run elections, and to create doubt. The Associate Attorney General of Alaska Stanley E. Woodward has claimed in a filing, “The sole purpose of Dan J. Sullivan’s candidacy is to benefit the Peltola campaign by reducing the number of votes for Senator Sullivan.”
Dan J. Sullivan is a former independent, a retired teacher who registered as a Republican shortly before filing to enter the race this year. The state court ordered him back on the ballot after Alaskan officials tried in June to remove him. He claims he is not affiliated with Peltola’s campaign or the Democrats.
 Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, and takes longer than others to count votes. If the results are close, this will increase the chances of litigation, unless it’s a blowout for the Democrats. Please #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3269   Pete Hegseth signed a memo last month giving the Pentagon permission to test a military-grade heat ray and develop tactics to potentially use it in operations at the southern border. Known as the “Active Denial System,” it is a non-lethal weapon that shoots an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves that can reach a little more than a half a mile away. It causes a burning sensation when it comes into contact with human skin. It’s been compared to feeling a blast of heat when opening a hot oven. A “tingling effect“ lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, generating an urge to run from the effect. There has been discussion about it being used as crowd dispersal along the US-Mexico border.    The current administration has also discussed using it during moments of civil unrest, including during protests over George Floyd. The Pentagon is trying to absolve itself of any liability by stating, “It shall not be operated by Department of War personnel.” They will loan it to DHS (Department of Homeland Security), and they say the DHS will be solely responsible.
 The US military deployed the system to Afghanistan, but decided not to use it during active combat operations. Customs and Border Protection officials have previously discussed using it in areas where there’s a high concentration of illegal crossings, but it has never been deployed. Among the concerns are the use of it across the border in Mexico on those who had not yet crossed into the United States and could be harmed. Typically, these type of inhumane treatments get rejected. But Trump sees immigrants as enemy combatants. Currently the need is low as the border is seeing far fewer border crossings. Will that stop Trump?

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   The frustration over the economy is the defining issue for the midterm elections. So many Americans, especially lower income individuals are very anxious as inflation and higher gasoline prices are influenced by the ongoing war in Iran. 61 percent of those surveyed have said there is too much income inequality and 24 percent feel the economy needs a complete overhaul. 4 of 10 Democrats now say no amount of inequality is acceptable. Confidence that the economic system can be effectively changed to address inequality is low. Republicans and Democrats disagree on the causes. Republicans will attribute the causes to personal choices, but Democrats most often will cite our tax system and insufficient regulation of major corporations.
 Most Americans think the federal government should play a large role in reducing economic inequality, and says wealthy people should have a lot of responsibility in reducing it. PEW research has said the economy is the top issue in the midterms for all voters. #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO   La frustración por la economía es el tema principal en las elecciones de mitad de mandato. Muchos estadounidenses, especialmente los de bajos ingresos, están muy ansiosos ya que la inflación y el aumento de los precios de la gasolina se ven influenciados por la guerra en curso en Irán. El 61 por ciento de los encuestados dijo que hay demasiada desigualdad de ingresos y el 24 por ciento siente que la economía necesita una revisión completa. 4 de cada 10 demócratas ahora dicen que ningún nivel de desigualdad es aceptable. La confianza en que el sistema económico pueda cambiarse eficazmente para abordar la desigualdad es baja. Republicanos y demócratas no están de acuerdo sobre las causas. Los republicanos atribuyen las causas a las elecciones personales, mientras que los demócratas más a menudo citan nuestro sistema tributario y la regulación insuficiente de las grandes corporaciones.   La mayoría de los estadounidenses piensa que el gobierno federal debería tener un papel importante en reducir la desigualdad económica, y que las personas ricas deberían tener mucha responsabilidad en disminuirla. Investigaciones de PEW han dicho que la economía es el tema principal en las elecciones intermedias para todos los votantes. #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3262   “My thought was they could keep it in their back pocket to invalidate any [election] results they don’t like,” one of the former officials said. “This goes against everything CISA represents.” First they cut the budget of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), then the Trump administration wants the results of hacking a voting machine sent to the White House? Why would the Trump administration do this?
 The Trump administration has undermined CISA, election officials across the country say. The Trump administration’s attacks have left them to solve security issues themselves with the midterms almost here. The employees of CISA have told administration officials that the task of hacking a machine wasn’t possible since Elon Musk‘s DOGE laid off the agency’s personnel who could’ve pulled that off. Isn’t this a very Russian technique? Create instability, then blame a problem on that instability? One third of CISA’s employees were laid off—over 1000 of them. The president’s 2027 budget proposal would reduce funding for another $700 million—that would result in 900 more layoffs. Trump himself signed the act in 2018.
 In 2025 through mid-September 2026, the preparations for this election have been nonexistent. Some state authorities said they no longer trusted the administration enough to share information with CISA. “They violated the entire premise of that information-sharing relationship,“ said one official. Machine vendors are coming up with contingency plans if the federal government seizes their machines or declares them unusable. Donald Trump losing the election in 2020 has been too much for his fragile ego to take. It was CISA and the FBI that convinced former Attorney General Bill Barr that there wasn’t any systemic fraud in 2020. By the way, what happened to the ballots Tulsi Gabbard seized from Fulton County, Georgia? Make sure you get out and vote. We need to restore integrity.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE   WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3263   The Wesleyan Media Project has found over 220 videos full of “generated fakery,” videos often without any disclaimer that they were made with AI. Any election will result in a flood of ads but this time around, they are full of fakes— mostly tied to Republicans or Republican aligned Political Action Committees. Using AI has allowed some candidates to be placed alongside the most polarizing figures in politics, such as Hillary Clinton or AOC. One ad even showed Abdul El-Sayed laughing at cards that read ”Death to America,” and “celebrate 9/11.”
 The media group stated there is more reluctance for Democrats to use ads with AI since their voters are generally in favor of some kind of regulation. 30 states require disclosure that AI is used for these deepfakes in political ads. An ad that normally cost $2 million to produce traditionally only will cost $200,000 with AI. The overall problem with political advertising is the use of deception. Voters should carefully study what issues a candidate supports directly from their websites and take ads with a grain of salt.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3264   Missouri Republicans aren’t going to let 86 years of their nonpartisan system for electing judges get in the way of gerrymandering desires. Their own state Supreme Court overruled their recent attempts they want to give additional seats to Republicans. Some state lawmakers are calling to overturn their own system to choose top judges under what is known as the Missouri Plan. Missouri lawyers help choose a slate of three candidates—then the governor makes an appointment for the state Supreme Court, appeals court, and in some areas, the circuit courts. This became a model for many states around the country.    Conservative judge-maker Leonard Leo sees Missouri as a crucial battleground—he attempted to convince Governor Matt Blunt in 2007 to reject some Supreme Court candidates in an attempt to weaken the selection system. In 2012, the GOP put a proposed issue before the voters to give the governor more control. Voters rejected that idea. State Republican legislators have tried many things to wrench power of referendums away from the voters— redrawing a gerrymander mid-decade, then Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins attempted to ignore it when the Supreme Court ordered an older map restored, resulting in 14 Republican lawmakers calling to impeach the members of the court if they held Hoskins in contempt. Hoskins finally backed down.   Republicans have tried to weaken all the guardrails that could limit their power nationwide. North Carolina, Wisconsin, and New York all have tried to enforce gerrymanders or take power away from Democrats. Republicans hold every statewide elective office, have supermajorities in both chambers, and six of the state’s congressional seats—but they still want more power. The voters keep rejecting their proposals at the ballot box, especially over use of the ballot initiative. Five of seven Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republican governors, even though some Republicans have called them liberal activists. Any changes to the Missouri plan ultimately will have to be approved by the voters.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3265   “We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samara,” Prime Minister Netanyahu recently said. In his statement, he said the facts of the incident “remain unclear and are under investigation.“ What’s not in dispute are the injuries suffered by Heidi Levine, an American photojournalist who was severely beaten with rocks and sticks by Israeli settlers. The IDF stood by and fired teargas, refusing to intervene. She suffered lacerations across her body, a broken rib and four broken vertebrae. She will need surgery on one hand after a finger was ripped open exposing bone.
These Israeli settlers coordinated a massive attack—dozens of men attacked Palestinian villagers trying to gather olives from their trees. The settlers set the trees on fire and were slinging rocks at them.
 If the incident is as disputed as Netanyahu claims, where are reports or photos of Israeli injuries? The occupied West Bank has seen escalating violence, just ahead of the October elections there. Israeli settlers are reshaping the map, seizing more territory. It’s a coordinated effort between settlers and the highest levels of government, according to the Washington Post, while attention is diverted by the US-Israeli war against Iran. Between January and August there were 1600 settler attacks documented by the United Nations, an average of more than six a day since February 28 and the start of the Iran war. At least 76 Palestinians have been killed by gunfire from Israeli forces or settlers. It’s not only Netanyahu. It is the far right cabinet such as finance minister Smotrich and National Security minister Ben-Gvir. Israel wants to reestablish territory it occupied in the 1967 war. Many in the world see that land as illegally settled Palestinian land. Israel has increased settlements even in violation of Israeli law.
 At least 4300 Palestinians have been displaced this year. Israel wants to “bury the idea“ of Palestinian statehood. Groups of Palestinian militias are working alongside Israel, receiving weapons and funding, and attacking fellow Palestinians in their homes. These militias are made up of criminal gangs and want to decrease the ability of Hamas to stay in power, but are unlikely to ever replace Hamas. Israel’s motive is to destabilize them so the rest of the world blames Hamas. So much for any cease-fire agreement. Israel has never kept one.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   “When President Trump says the federal government needs to operate like a best-run business, he means it.” That was AI software CEO Bill McDermott right before he gave millions of dollars to Trump‘s ballroom. The Washington Post published a previously secret list of donors to Trump‘s ballroom. Is it for the ballroom, or their own desire for government contracts and benefits? 50 percent of the donors to the ballroom have government contracts and 65 percent will benefit from his executive orders. There’s been $330 million donated out of the now-predicted $600 million it will cost to rebuild what he tore down in October 2025. There’s even one case of a pardon Trump gave after Herrera Velutini’s daughter donated money. Trump pledged to use his own money, but there’s no mention of anything from him on the list. There were 57 people and companies that donated above $10,000. At least $77 million came from parties that requested anonymity.    What about Campaign Finance rules? Out the window. The nonprofit Trust for the National Mall channeled the money to the White House account directly controlled by Trump. There’s no deal that Trump makes at home or abroad that doesn’t involve some kind of bribe or payoff. White House spokesman David Ingle said we will “relentlessly pursue those responsible for this cowardly leak.” Three months after Nvidia made a pact with Trump to sell advanced microchips to China despite security concerns, they donated $25 million. The White House has used taxpayer funds to cover some costs. Demands by Democrats to reveal donors have been ignored by this White House, the most corrupt in history. We have to vote them all out.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO   “Cuando el presidente Trump dice que el gobierno federal necesita operar como una empresa bien gestionada, lo dice en serio.” Eso fue el CEO de software de IA, Bill McDermott, justo antes de donar millones de dólares al salón de Trump. The Washington Post publicó una lista antes secreta de donantes al salón de Trump. ¿Es por el salón, o por su propio deseo de contratos gubernamentales y beneficios? El 50 por ciento de los donantes del salón tienen contratos con el gobierno y el 65 por ciento se beneficiará de sus órdenes ejecutivas. Se han donado 330 millones de dólares de los ahora previstos 600 millones que costará reconstruir lo que él destruyó en octubre de 2025. Incluso hay un caso de un indulto que Trump dio después de que la hija de Herrera Velutini donara dinero. Trump se comprometió a usar su propio dinero, pero no hay mención de nada de él en la lista. Hubo 57 personas y empresas que donaron más de 10,000 dólares. Al menos 77 millones provienen de parties que solicitaron anonimato.   ¿Y qué pasa con las reglas de financiamiento de campañas? Por la ventana. La organización sin fines de lucro Trust for the National Mall canalizó el dinero a la cuenta de la Casa Blanca directamente controlada por Trump. No hay acuerdo que haga Trump en casa o en el extranjero que no implique algún tipo de soborno o pago. El portavoz de la Casa Blanca, David Ingle, dijo que vamos a “perseguir sin descanso a los responsables de esta cobarde filtración.” Tres meses después de que Nvidia hiciera un pacto con Trump para vender microchips avanzados a China a pesar de las preocupaciones de seguridad, donaron $25 millones. La Casa Blanca ha usado fondos de los contribuyentes para cubrir algunos costos. Las demandas de los demócratas para revelar a los donantes han sido ignoradas por esta Casa Blanca, la más corrupta de la historia. Tenemos que votarlos a todos fuera.
