Corruption Calendar Week 31: The Crises Continue
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.

Trump Hands Another Victory To Cancer’s Profiteers
A Dow Chemicals facility that exploded in a ball of fire in Plaquemines, Louisiana in 2023, releasing tens of thousands of pounds of carcinogens. A leaky medical sterilization plant in a Los Angeles County neighborhood being sued by local residents suffering from breast, blood, and stomach cancers.

Want a Big Tent? Use Congressional Oversight
Ahead of the 4th of July holiday weekend, Republicans are trying to ram through their One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes enough horrors to dampen any parade. As written, the bill will do untold harm to Americans across the country through devastating cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and student loan forgiveness. Working people will suffer, but the Republican’s bill will be a boon for the wealthy, fossil fuel interests, and draconian immigration detention centers. Democrats will not be able to stop the destruction, but they can use every available tool to make sure the public knows who is to blame.

Abundance Praise for Trump Appointees
Abundance supporters were big backers of Trump appointees including Chris Wright, Doug Burgum and Jay Bhattacharya. Now that the Trump administration has (predictably) engaged in blatantly destructive actions, they’re hoping you’ll forget their earlier support of these Trump toadies.

Trump’s War on Public Data
Trump’s antagonistic relationship with facts is well documented. His most egregious attacks on reality aren’t just rhetorical. They threaten physical safety and American democracy. They target the ways we define what we know about the country and ourselves. Trump’s assault on public data is not a side project, it’s a core feature of his authoritarian approach to governance. By hollowing out federal statistics, limiting information gathering, and redacting inconvenient reports, the Trump administration is warping reality to suit its political narrative. The goal isn’t just to obscure the effects of the president’s policies, it’s to prevent the public from seeing them at all.

“Bird Flu” is the colloquial term for Avian Influenza A (H5N1) which is a viral infection that primarily infects birds but has been known to spread in some mammals, including cows, cats, and humans. H5N1 is known to be highly contagious between birds, and 2024 saw the first highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 spreading amongst U.S. cattle, as well as dozens of infections of humans.
