Donald Trump promised to drive America in a different direction. One year into his second term, he is doing so, enacting or seeking fundamental changes to policy, politics and society. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/28/world/politics/trump-year-radical-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats
In the new global economy that emerges over the longer term following the return to the White House of U.S. President Donald Trump, America will have lost its hegemony. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/26/world/trump-american-hegemony/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #tariffs #deportations #immigrationandcustomsenforcement #congress #republicans #democrats #artificialintelligence #congress
The U.S. Justice Department’s long-awaited rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein files has been a chaotic spectacle that has largely turned the spotlight back to Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and other known associates. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/25/world/crime-legal/epstein-files-delays-worsen/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #us #donaldtrump #congress #republicans #democrats #sexcrimes #humantrafficking
Democrats see Trump’s affordability troubles as an opening, but aggressive anti-billionaire populism carries political and governing risks. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/24/world/embracing-eat-the-rich-populism/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #republicans #democrats #useconomy #billionaires
Two years ago at the start of the 2024 election, #DonTheCon angrily accused #Democrats of using #AI to create fake photos of him with #Epstein and claimed he "was NEVER on Epstein's plane".
Today's document dump shows he was on Epstein's plane *eight* times.
U.S. Justice Department officials on Sunday denied redacting the Epstein files to protect President Donald Trump, as criticism mounted over the partial and heavily censored release of documents. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/22/world/epstein-files-trump-deny/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #jeffreyepstein #republicans #donaldtrump #democrats #sexcrimes

It's so American how the Sackler family caused a national #opioidcrisis which ultimately led to the #fentanyl crisis, & instead of imprisoning them the #US eventually went "Hang on, we can use this as an excuse to start a war with a country that doesn't even produce fentanyl."

U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive agenda is not just reshaping the economy and immigration enforcement — it’s also giving Democratic governors a national stage to position themselves as presidential contenders. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/15/world/politics/trump-2028-presidential-election-democrats/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #democrats

Trump’s anti #Somali rants are not directed only at that group. All #Black / #African people are seen as suspects, as ungrateful #criminals who are deserving of punishment & scorn. He isn't alone in this thinking.

The richest 10% control 94% of total #capital ownership assets in the United States.
They determine how to use our #labor & #resources, what we produce & how our #surplus is deployed.
They determine the direction of our #civilization. It is the antithesis of #democracy.

#House #Democrats release photos from #JeffreyEpstein's estate showing #Trump, #SteveBannon, #BillClinton, #BillGates, #RichardBranson & other high-profile people
Many of the men have been previously linked to Epstein, though the photos may shed new light on the extent of those relationships.
Taken collectively, the 19 images reinforce the #SexOffender was tied in the past to a wide variety of powerful & high-profile people whose ties to him are under scrutiny.
