Guns haven't made us safer. Trickle-down hasn't made us richer. Global warming is real. Fair taxes & reasonable regulation aren't Socialism, Communism or Facism

Q: “What would Trumpcare look like?”

Oz: “These are all ideas that we're still working on in part because until the government shutdown formally ends, we don't have all the people in the room who need to work on these programs.”

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules.

Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs, including coal mining, logging, and factory and construction work. https://t.co/Iml4i0pIfX

2) Since we don’t control health costs in the U.S., decent insurance is not affordable for working people without some form of government subsidy.

@matthewamiller My latest column broke news. There are far more Jan. 6 pardon recipients back in trouble with the law than we knew. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics had reported 10 as of June. A better number is ... more than 30. https://t.co/XWvQu0zB9S

Reminder:
Trump disbanded the DOJ team that investigated crypto fraud, while owning a crypto company, right before he held a contest to see who could bribe him the most by buying his meme coin, netting him $148 million.

The most corrupt administration ever.

4 years ago tonight, one of the biggest defensive plays in Astros ALCS history. Graveman to Maldy to Correa. BOOM

@EdKrassen @60Minutes A nation built on law cannot excuse loyalty to one man over the Constitution. The moment power places itself above accountability, democracy begins to serve a throne instead of the people.

The entire budget of USAID was $35 billion.

Instead, we're giving it to Trump's buddy in Argentina.

Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse...

[C-Bo the Eggman @CBoTheEggman]

More US $ has been given to Argentina than the entire USAID budget, a program that helped save an est 3 million lives per yr, but has been almost eliminated this yr

All because a billionaire named Elon Musk hates poor black Africans and another billionaire bought Argentina bonds

[Ahmed Baba @AhmedBaba_]

In a sane reality, this insane comment would’ve ended the career of any other press secretary. In this reality, it’s just another Thursday.

But when the Trump fever breaks, and it will break, these people will have to reckon with the digital footprints of their own depravity.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

It's not an overstatement when I say *this* was the defining issue of the 2024 election and it's basically disappeared from the news. Draw your own conclusions.

[Dr. Dave @drdave1999]

I kid you not— before long, red states like TX and FL will be teaching ‘Trump math’ in school, and students will be 437% less-prepared to function in the real world.

Kristi Noem is a stochastic terrorist.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Noem: “Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TDA, as ISIS, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them. They are just as dangerous.”

[Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance]

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: I’ve studied, analyzed, worked, write books and/or fought against all of the worst real terrorist groups in the world for over 4 decades.

This statement by Kristi Noem is delusional and dangerous. She should not be in a position of power.

Classifying all Americans who are against the fascist Trump regime as “terrorists” is ridiculous and literally textbook Fascism.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

They want to go after "Antifa" because it has no leader, no organization, no bank accounts, etc...

This way they can say anyone is Antifa.

This way they can do anything they want.

That's it. That's the whole Tooth Fairy/Santa Claus/Antifa fantasy.

It's to go after YOU.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

Here’s what the Nobel Committee said on recent Peace Prize selection:

Machado “meets all three criteria stated in Alfred Nobel’s will for the selection of a Peace Prize laureate,” the Committee said. “She has brought her country’s opposition together. She has never wavered in resisting the militarization of Venezuelan society. She has been steadfast in her support for a peaceful transition to democracy.”

Donald Trump fails on every count.
