If you want an easy way to keep track of all the horrible, cruel, regressive shit Trump and his corrupt administration are up to check out The Weekly List by Amy Siskind.

She focuses on Trumps actions not words. Unlike the legacy media that obsesses over his social media trolling and lame distractions.
Plus she only sends out the update once a week.

Kick!

It's going to be hard to keep up with all of Trump's cruelty.
I'm trying to limit my news sources to avoid information overload.

(17,792 posts)This is a taste of the report documenting the last 7 days. The website formatting is much cleaner than how it came out with copy and paste:
On Thursday, as wildfires burned throughout Los Angeles, Trump told Republican governors that California Gov. Gavin Newsom is largely incompetent, and spread the false accusation that Newsom refused to sign a water restoration declaration.
Trump also blamed Biden, falsely claiming that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had no money to help California. Congress recently passed a disaster relief supplemental of $29 billion.
On Thursday, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told CNBC that the Kremlin is watching Trumps Greenland ambition with great interest. Kremlin pundits say Trumps rhetoric gives Moscow the green light to absorb sovereign states.
Historian Timothy Snyder noted Trumps rhetoric around Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico plagiarizes Putins rhetoric before he launched his first invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
On Wednesday, Trumps lawyers asked the Supreme Court to block sentencing in the New York hush money case, claiming Trump was protected by presidential immunity. Trump also made the request to the New York Court of Appeals.
Shortly after, reporting indicated that Trump had spoken to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr. mere hours before his lawyers request, raising ethical concerns.
Justice Alito claimed the call was a routine job reference for a former law clerk being considered for the regime; however, it would be highly unusual for Trump to make such a call, rather than a lower-level aide.
On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals, the states highest court, rejected Trumps request to postpone his sentencing, leaving the Supreme Court as his last option.
