Both sides are running disinformation while real families wait for real answers.Pam Bondi was fired, and her interim replacement is Todd Blanch, the president's personal attorney from his 34-count felony conviction. The first two cabinet firings of this administration are both women. Neither is getting a pardon.New polling shows Trump has lost white working class voters. Among Americans earning under $50,000 a year, his disapproval sits at 70 percent. The narrative is cracking.And we close with something bigger: Ye performing on a set designed to look like a dying planet while the actual world buckles under war, tariffs, and AI-driven labor displacement.
