    Trump doesn't care about people with disabilities or those who need medical care. He has no empathy or soul. He really disgusts me with his cruelty.

    DOJ memo stokes fear among disability advocates of a return to institutionalization


    The Justice Department released a memo this week that quietly calls into question decades of civil rights protections for Americans with disabilities and stirred fear and anger among advocates and families.

    The memo, an opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel, argues that states do not have to provide in-home or community-based care to people with disabilities who need support. These services allow many disabled Americans to continue to live, learn and work at home or in their own communities, among family and friends.

    "As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, [this memo] threatens to drag our nation back to a dark and shameful era of ignorance and cruelty," said the American Association of People with Disabilities. "This interpretation will open the doors for states to revert to warehousing people with disabilities out of sight and out of mind in institutions."

    "This opinion is a direct threat to decades of progress toward community living for people with disabilities," said Shira Wakschlag of The Arc of the United States, a nonprofit disability advocacy group. "People with disabilities shouldn't be forced into institutions because a state refuses to provide services in the community."

    https://www.npr.org/2026/06/20/nx-s...-disability-civil-rights-institutionalization

    When Fred Trump III said he asked his uncle Donald Trump for money to help with his disabled son's medical care, he said "I don't know, he doesn't recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida."

    Fred was shocked at the response, and insisted that his son does recognize him.

    "To this day, it's still hard to wrap my head around it," he said. "I don't know how one human being could say that about anybody else. Least of all his grandnephew.

    Fred's son, William Trump, was born with a genetic mutation that altered his physical and cognitive development. The former president had contributed financially to William's care over the years, but mounting costs forced Fred to ask for more help in a 2020 phone call.

    Trump has brought American's swag back. And foreigners LOVE IT. Liberals punching air.

    It's cool that Trump hasn't been able to ruin America completely.

    Trump boldly proving that microblogging and real-time social networking platforms like x née twiiter and truth social do not have a working business model. Trump also appears to be front running DJT. If Trump was not POTUS, the SEC would be investigating.


    After 'circling the drain' Trump’s DJT stock finally plops in

    On Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s DJT stock symbol plummeted to its lowest point ever, plunging to $7.53 per share as of this writing. According to Futurism, the stock — which represents Trump’s Truth Social social media platform — has been “circling the drain for over a year now.”

    The DJT stock made its public debut in 2022 for just under $10 per share, and it was rapidly hyped up to its all-time high of just under $94.20 before dropping back into the low teens. Then in early 2024, it was relaunched after a merger, briefly shooting up to around $60. Since then it has lost nearly 90 percent of its value, and the decline shows no sign of slowing.

    According to Futurism, the DJT symbol is “part of Trump’s efforts to build out his ailing conservative social media network and personal megaphone, Truth Social. However, desperate stabs at reinvention, from attempts to break into the prediction and cryptocurrency markets to a bizarre and unexpected merger with a fusion power company called TAE Technologies late last year, have done little to instill confidence.”

    Futurism suggests that confusion surrounding the company’s future is likely hurting its stock, explaining, “Earlier this month, TMTG announced it was abandoning plans to spin off Truth Social into a separate publicly listed company, with the help of a special purpose acquisition company called Texas Ventures Acquisition III, without ever elaborating why. Instead, the company reaffirmed plans to merge with TAE, cementing its efforts to break into the fusion energy industry — unproven tech that has nothing to do with a far-right microblogging platform.”

    The company’s numbers have also undoubtedly scared off potential investors. As Futurism notes, "Beyond the chaos and a continuously revolving door of executives, TMTG has been burning through cash at an alarming rate. Last month, the company posted a stunning net loss of more than $400 million in the first quarter of this year alone — while netting less than $1 million. That’s in large part due to its steep investments in cryptocurrencies, tying the value of its operations to speculative assets that have also been plummeting this year.”

    As Futurism reports, the failure of DJT comes amid accusations of wide-ranging insider trading and similar grift within the administration, including allegations that Trump himself has been buying stock then publicly praising the companies to drive up their prices. And the DJT stock has not been spared from suggestions of illegal activity.

    In June 2024, Bloomberg reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission was hit by a wave of complaints from analysts warning of shady behavior regarding DJT. As one complaint asserted, “The Market Makers in DJT are manipulating the OPTIONS prices. I am a leading expert in OPTION FRAUD and a former member of the CBOE, CBOT and CME [referring to leading exchanges]. I know what is going on.”

    It is so sincerely hilarious that you dumbasses don't understand big Democratic cities are actually really really fun and have great parties and nightclubs. La San Francisco Houston new York throw some of the best parties anywhere in the world and they have amazing locals. You have been brainwashed by right wing propaganda telling you how awful the cities are and how the National Guard need to be deployed to save the cities you've been brainwashed @tinman @Salvy

    No, I’ve lived in many places and have drawn my own conclusions, free from the bias of media. Try it sometime!

    Cities are unsafe, have poor rule of law, and will only see their taxes rise over time. The greatest trend in real estate for decades has been how society’s most productive citizens are moving away from high crime demographics. Covid and work-from-home accelerated this. Liberal cities are going to be absolutely screwed in the long run. Tax base is leaving and only the “takers” are left. Ouch

    New York/LA/SF/Seattle and other cities have some of the lowest violent crime rate in the nation. Again I'm sorry that you brainwashed cultists have been lied to by Fox News. Europeans and others are loving the big liberal cities as they should. They are amazing places

    This is your reminder that within minutes of the Venezuelan earthquakes, USAID should have been coordinating and deploying US Urban Search and Rescue teams as well as setting up all manner of other life-saving supplies and equipment for insertion into the disaster zones, including hospital ships.

    But DOGE happened.
