Trump is withholding $1 billion in Medicaid funds from California and Minnesota.
The same man who made $2 billion off the presidency and passed $1 trillion in tax cuts for the 1% is now taking away health care from thousands of poor children.
You can’t make this up.
This eighty seconds from Jon Karl was very, very strong on undermining faith in free and fair elections. By being so very clear, it allowed the audience and program to move past the ridiculous Trump falsehoods and focus on other important news including developments in Iran.
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
Sergey Brin is worth $276 billion.
He could save healthcare for 3 million people.
Instead, he’s spending $82 million against California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax.
He’d rather see low-income Americans die & suffer than pay his fair share of taxes.
That is a moral obscenity.
Corporate greed is UnitedHealth making a $5.48 billion profit last quarter (up 60% from last year), spending $33 billion in stock buybacks since 2022, paying its CEO over $60 million last year while it works to hike premiums by up to 25% next year.
Yes. We need Medicare for All.
The thing I've never understood is why would an undocumented immigrant or non-citizen want to risk being arrested and deported by voting illegally? The answer is, they don't, and that's why they don't try to vote.
Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear:
1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close.
2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. https://t.co/L63hCChOn6
Sue Gordon, who served as the principal deputy Director of National Intelligence in his first term until 2019, responds to President Trump's speech. "I think this was a dangerous speech about an incredibly important topic with some really questionable remedies in mind."
The CDC is saying the Cyclospora outbreak is from Taylor Farms
Then they keep bringing up Taco Bell
Not that I need to defend Taco Bell for colon blow food. But Taylor Farms sells to McDonalds, Chipotle, Walmart, Safeway, Kroger and a shit ton of places
So I don’t understand while Taco Bell, who pulled lettuce from their restaurants right away because they were trying to be responsible, is being made out to be the bad guy
She was on fast-track to win. Her campaign had more enthusiasm than Obama in 2008. Republicans voted for Kamala ❤️
Elon Musk got the election hacked for Trump. One day it will all come to light. It always does...
In Illinois, infant child care costs $1,651 a month. Rent in Illinois averages $1,670 a month.
Working parents are paying two mortgages: one for their home and one for child care while they’re making a living.
That is the cost-of-living crisis nobody is talking about enough.
Lindsey Graham died Friday & his sister has already been sworn in. Remember when Mike Johnson refused to seat Adelita Grijalva for 50 days after she was elected? That is what we are fighting for in the midterms, a return to democracy & fairness and to remove fascist Republicans.
future historians are going to have a nightmare trying to explain why we ran out of drinking water because we needed to cool down the machines generating 4K AI fruit videos
