“Trump’s rhetoric: his obsession with labeling critics, especially Black individuals, as “low-IQ.”This pattern is not just a political strategy; it’s a deliberate psychological weapon rooted in America’s painful legacy of racialized intelligence narratives.”#MomSky

ChatGPT Was Asked To List Everyone Trump Has Called ‘A Low-IQ Individual’ — And It’s Pretty Racist

I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

This important report by @hassan.senate.gov shows how President Trump’s tariff taxes are hurting small businesses. Small businesses have lost over 366,000 jobs since the President took office. We owe it to them to end this chaos.

Trump’s bad plan to eliminate Energy Star

The public saves money

Manufacturers supported it

On;y Trump wants to get rid of it.

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

— The New York Times (@nytimes.com) 2025-05-07T03:21:28.733Z

Trump’s plan to end the Energy Star program is a blow to American families and businesses everywhere. This program has saved $500 billion in energy costs over the past 30 years. Energy efficiency isn’t just an environmental solution—it’s an economic one.www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi…

— Senator Ed Markey (@markey.senate.gov) 2025-05-06T19:45:33.666Z

Very unusual just how fast Bosch and the other appliance makers immediately called out EPA for reported plans to eliminate Energy Star. Not something you see companies do these days.Energy Star saves average household ~$450/year and is VOLUNTARY

— Anna Kramer (@annackramer.bsky.social) 2025-05-06T19:57:56.703Z

The Trump administration announced plans to eliminate the Energy Star program. “For just $32 million a year, Energy Star helped Americans save over $40 billion in annual energy costs.” Eliminating the program contradicts the promise to reduce household energy costs.www.engadget.com/big-tech/tru…

Trump’s conflict of interest and grift

Foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to Donald Trump’s campaign. But Trump’s memecoin scam allows foreigners to influence U.S. policy by putting money directly in his pocket. This unlawful graft must be stopped.

— Sen. Adam Schiff (@schiff.senate.gov) 2025-05-07T14:11:17.997Z

Trump’s contest to see who can bribe him the most through his meme coin is being dominated by foreign investors.There’s a reason why Trump fired the ethics watchdog overseeing the executive branch, and the team investigating crypto fraud.These are bribes, and this is corruption.

The bottom line: Trump's first term blurred the line between public office and personal gain. His second term has erased it — turning the presidency into a profit engine for his brand and bloodline. http://www.axios.com/2025/05/02/t…

The Trump Organization admits in a filing that President Trump never gave up control of his business assets despite public claims to the contrary. This confirms longstanding, and obvious, conflicts of interest, and the lack of transparency makes it worse.

More on the damage from Trump’s attacks on science and education

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now.A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an “anti-Black moment”.

College decision day — the May 1 deadline at many schools across the country — coincided with a time of head-spinning upheaval, reversals and uncertainty in the first months of the Trump administration. Some students are turning down U.S. colleges for overseas options.

One of the best ways to make a country great is to support science & education, but MAGA doesn't like their cult to be smart, because smart people figure out ways to overthrow tyrannical governments.
