Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.
Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.
Unimaginable cruelty.
Do y’all get what is happening? If abdul wins this primary, they will work to take him down like they are doing to Graham platner. They hate the left more than they do republicans
Dems' reactions to Platner making it transparently clear that "Vote Blue No Matter Who" was always just a way to make leftists to shut up and vote for centrists, not an actual principle
To recap:
- Dem and Rep operatives spend the week setting the narrative that Graham Platner is a predator
- Pro-Israel NYT runs a story on Graham Platner
- Done by a pro-Israel reporter
- No SA allegation
- They talk to 6 exes. 3 say he was fine.
- 2 of the remainder say he drank and womanized
- The last is a Conservative activist who protected Brett Kavanaugh
- She claims Platner trapped her in a room
- The NYT reads her diaries, texts, Google Chats, and Facebook messages. Nothing corroborates her story.
- NYT finds a text from the accuser saying she "Would personally campaign for Susan Collins."
This is the most obvious Zionist smear campaign in history.
It's kind of wild to find out that the Republican in the NYT story that says she had a toxic relationship with Graham Platner is Lyndsey Fifield. Having been in DC for too long, I know a decent number of people who know her quite well. For a long time she was the co-host of a podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel, called Ladybrains, though she has also worked for multiple super PACs, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Heritage Foundation.
Some background, presented without judgment: In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.
In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.
The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was "a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns."
In an interview for a news outlet called Red Alert Politics that named her to a “30 under 30” list back in 2016, she said that she wanted to “emulate the late conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart’s approach to online activism.” Breitbart, known for pushing the boundaries when it came to political combat, is perhaps best remembered for having exposed Anthony Weiner’s penchant for sending nudes to young girls, and for his work elevating James O’Keefe.
That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it.
Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’”
Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back.
Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:
The New York Times story on Graham is frankly one of the most pathetic smear jobs I've ever seen. The claim is just "unsettling behavior" and they cite a LITERAL REPUBLICAN OPERATIVE he used to date. As far as I'm concerned his biggest crime is dating a creature as loathsome as a Republican.
After Massie’s loss, we know the GOP is wholly owned subsidiary of Israel, but if Democrats vote for this, they’re betraying 80% of their voters. They don’t care. All they care about is the sweet bribes they get from Israeli lobby. And the media loves to cover up this betrayal.
Intertwining our defense technological development w/the Israelis, or any foreign nation, is foolish & dangerous.
Section 224 of the NDAA must be rejected.
My 1st article for @RStatecraft explains why: https://t.co/HUtS2qNITX
Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.
"Tenemos miles de millones de dólares para perseguir a quién critique a Israel, esas mentiras de niños hambrientos de Gaza son más peligrosas que los misiles. Debemos usar al Mossad para ir a por todo aquel que publique estas mentiras, nadie debe quedar a salvo".
Ronald Lauder, presidente del Congreso Judío Mundial y magnate multimillonario, abiertamente pide perseguir a todo aquel que critique a "Israel" usando su riqueza, incluso pide que el Mossad vaya a por todos los que denuncien sus crímenes.
Estos dementes nazis van de víctimas y de perseguidos a la misma vez que admiten que tienen miles de millones de dólares que usan para perseguir a todo el que los critique, es delirante.
The United States of America is a sovereign nation.
Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act must be removed.
Our military should not be integrated in any capacity with a foreign country’s military.
Nor should we be funding it.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
