New label for the greed-driven billionaires who are enslaving the American people: "The Epstein class." 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

For the past 15 years, the fact-checkers at PolitiFact have sorted through hundreds of statements by politicians to name the "Lie of the Year."

This year, the editors dubbed 2025 the "Year of the Lies."

Lisa Desjardins discussed more with PolitiFact Editor-in-Chief Katie Sanders.

A warning: Some images in this story are disturbing.

Maryland couple: Our premiums went from $400 to $1,975 for the same policy. I've cut off subscriptions we don't need. I've tried to figure out how to move money around. We just don't make enough. My business is small. We're going to have to give up our health care. The increase in the premiums would be half of my income.

Frank Zappa knew exactly what he was talking about back in 1986 when he was being interviewed with three Conservatives! 👇👇👇👇

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Powerful FACTS from Mandy Patinkin on the striking similarities between the pedophile führer and Hitler. Although both Trump and Hitler are white supremacists who hate many non-white nationalities, for Hitler the ultimate boggyman was Jewish people, for Trump it's Muslims. 😳👇

China is another level‼️

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

NYU law professor Ryan Goodman and his nonpartisan team compiled a review that found more than 35 federal judges had explicitly stated that the Trump’s Justice Department lawyers were providing false, highly misleading, or intentionally inaccurate information in cases.

Chris Cuomo asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez how we pay for Medicare for All, tuition free college, and the green new deal. It gives people sticker shock. Her answer:
“People talk about the sticker shock of Medicare for All, but they do not talk about the sticker shock of our existing system. In a Koch brothers funded study, it shows that Medicare for All is actually much cheaper than the current system.
Let's not forget that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act because they ruled that each of these monthly payments that everyday Americans make is a tax. We pay it every single month. (Or we pay at tax season if we don't buy plans off of the exchange.)
Americans have the sticker shock of healthcare as it is. Why aren't we incorporating the cost of funeral expenses of those who die because they can't afford access to healthcare? That is part of the cost of our system. Or the cost of reduced productivity because of people who need to go on disability or are not able to participate in our economy because they don't have access to the healthcare that they need?
At the end of the day, we see that this is not a pipe dream. Every other developed nation in the world has this. Why can't America? And that is the question we need to ask.
We write blank checks for war. We just wrote a $2 trillion check for the GOP tax cut. And nobody asks how are we going to pay for it.
So my question is why are our pockets only empty when it comes to education and healthcare for our kids? Why are our pockets only empty when we talk about 100% renewable energy that is going to save this planet and allow our children to thrive?
We only have empty pockets when it comes to the morally right things to do. But when it comes to tax cuts for billionaires or unlimited war, we seem to be able to invent that money very easily. To me it belies a lack of moral priorities that people have right now, especially the Republican Party.”

He's so freaking right.

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

The Trump administration fired NSA director, four-star Gen. Tim Haugh, who also led America’s cyber defense efforts at Cyber Command.

I wish people hadn’t dismissed me as crazy and overreacting two years ago. 😬😞

If you aren’t worried and thinking about how to protect your family right now, you aren’t paying close enough attention.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is insane. How can any Republican stand by and endorse this? I never ever thought I would see this in America in my lifetime.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. The plan wasn’t to be made public. Clearly someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

📌 Historic fascists with plenary authority:
• Adolf Hitler
• Benito Mussolini
• Joseph Stalin

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

It's been over 9 months since the LA fires.

We have asked for federal disaster aid for months now.

Not a dollar from Trump.

He is abandoning Americans while building ballrooms and decorating his office gold.

It’s disgusting and disqualifying.

Yo quiero que ustedes entiendan bien nuestra nueva realidad. Una mera tormenta tropical a 400 millas de distancia (de Martinica a PR o de Bahamas centrales a Miami) puede intensificarse a un ciclón de categoría 4 similar a María en cuestión de 1 día. Es lo que nos hemos buscado.

Climate needs a new rallying cry —affordability and economic opportunity. That argument is settled because the technologies climate needs to win already exist, and already are cheaper.

In the midst of crisis there is opportunity, especially when the current anti-growth administration is doing everything it can to make America less affordable and less dynamic.

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

The environmental movement has done an amazing job in bringing awareness to America and the World about the need to protect our natural commons. In terms of the energy transition, now is a time for a determined focus on innovation, execution, and deployment.

But the critical function of the environmental movement to analyze, explicate, and advocate for the Natural World has never been more crucial.
