⚡️ Multiple fronts collided today as months of systematic pressure campaigns reached breaking points simultaneously.

💣 They’re rewriting reality and weaponizing it against us.

Kennedy Jr. to announce the very next day that Washington will yank its funding.

🤑 Power is cashing in while cracking down. Trump’s family hijacks war buzz for a Tel Aviv tower, rebrands imported phones as American miracles, then his administration punishes unions, journalists, and immigrant families that dare ask why.

🎭 The administration’s victory theater is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. Trump declared Iran’s nuclear sites “completely obliterated” while his own vice president admitted they’re uncertain about what actually happened to the uranium stockpiles.
