Trump's regime is run by the worst of the worst

from Hope For America with Heather Delaney Reese

While Trump retreated to Mar-a-Lago during his third government shutdown, spending ten hours raging about Bill Maher on Truth Social instead of ensuring federal workers get paid, his administration quietly moved forward with plans to spend $38.3 billion building detention centers with capacity for over 92,000 people. TSA workers, Coast Guard members, and airport security agents worked without pay as the system ground to a halt.The Breakdown:Trump's late-night Bill Maher spiral led to a book-length Truth Social rant, proving he treats the presidency like a reality TV show while federal employees miss paychecksThe administration plans to turn warehouses into mass detention facilities, creating infrastructure for 92,000 detainees, with some already shipped to offshore facilitiesA whistleblower complaint implicating Jared Kushner in potential wrongdoing involving foreign intelligence and Iran was allegedly suppressed by DNI Tulsi Gabbard for eight monthsGabbard reportedly locked the complaint in a safe and delivered a copy directly to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles instead of transmitting it to Congress as required by lawKushner operates as a private citizen with no official title, no congressional confirmation, no oversight, and billions in foreign investments, creating a national security crisisThe people behind the curtain, Stephen Miller, Susie Wiles, and billionaire backers like Peter Thiel, are using Trump's chaos as cover to implement Project 2025Casey Wasserman announced he is selling his agency after his connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were exposed in the unsealed files, signaling accountability is comingThe backlash is working, and when someone at Wasserman's level of influence makes an exit, it sends a clear message that the powerful are not invincibleIf this resonated with you, please subscribe, like, and comment to my brand new channel.
