Corruption Calendar Weeks 60-61: A New Mask for the Trump Administration’s Cruelty
This edition marks almost three weeks since the U.S. and Israel began their unlawful war of aggression against Iran, which 55% of American voters disapprove of, according to a recent Data for Progress poll conducted for Drop Site News and Zeteo. The first six days of the war alone cost $11.3 billion, a sum that could have wiped out federal student loan debt for roughly 300,000 people, reduced homelessness, helped low-income families pay their heating bills for two to three years, and more.

The Real Cost of Trump’s First Year
Donald Trump ascended to the presidency for a second time by pledging to bring down the rising cost of groceries and housing, essentials that every American needs, but increasingly few find affordable. Then he flipped that promise on its head. Instead of putting the full weight of the presidency behind addressing economic insecurity, the president’s first year was a blatant exercise in how to turn corruption into a governing principle, enriching the already rich by extracting wealth from the same people bearing the brunt of rising costs.

We are almost through our first summer of what is sure to be a long and ruinous four years. This past week, while Trump tightened control of his invasion of Washington, D.C, gargantuan wildfires ravaged lands in Colorado and Florida. Over in Texas, state Republicans completed step one of their plot to distort the electoral map ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, sending the newly redrawn maps to the Texas State Senate. D.C. residents are far from the only victims of our ever growing police state, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to kidnap and terrorize community members across the country.
