Some of the world's poorest countries have started paying millions to lobbyists linked to Donald Trump to try to offset US cuts to foreign aid. Somalia, Haiti, and Yemen are among 11 countries to sign significant lobbying deals with figures tied directly to the US president after he slashed US foreign humanitarian assistance.

Thanks Republican tools for helping to perpetuate class warfare and helping to inflict class warfare on your fellow citizens.

Fascism and the superrich oligarchs are doing just fine.
Two-thirds of American adults drink coffee each day, 66% higher than tea, juice, soda, and bottled water and up nearly 7% compared to 2020. Every American coffee drinker consumes on average three cups per day: 1000logos.net
The oligarchs are maniacal Malthusians. To them the hoi polloi are using up their precious oxygen, water, food, and resources. The superrich are vastly outnumbered. They know it and we know it: res.cloudinary.com
I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle. Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER. Therefore, I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and Border Czar, Tom Homan, to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, or any other Law Enforcement Officer who is on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so. I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public. I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The water in this photo of the Gowanus Canal looks much cleaner than from years ago: upload.wikimedia.org
