And Trump's response, remember infrastructure week, which became just a running joke.

So now it's 2025.

Nothing's really changed except more things are falling apart.

You've got Americans rationing insulin.

I mentioned GoFundMe is for cancer treatments, people dying because they can't afford an ambulance ride in some cases.

So they take an Uber to the hospital and Trump's healthcare plan.

After all this, it's still two weeks away.

It's still really just a concept of a plan.

And meanwhile, life expectancy in the United States is declining.

We're going backwards.

Other developed nations don't have declining life expectancy.

It's us and countries in active civil wars.

Those are our colleagues in that area.

Teachers who can't afford rent, schools that can't find teachers at all in rural America.

We're banning books like it's 1984, sometimes including the book 1984.

And the solution from Trump and his allies is let's get rid of the Department of Education entirely.

You know what?

Other countries don't have functional education systems, failed States, but here is really

what I think defines a failed state.

The social fabric is ripping apart.
