When I was Ethics Czar, we decided Obama wouldn't even refinance his house to save a few hundred dollars -- & lobbyists couldn't gift us a PENCIL!

Trump is monetizing the presidency for BILLIONS

The American people won't stand for it

Just got off the phone with my college roommate.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.

He told me he’s not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.

I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.

I really don’t.

🚨 Gov. Spanberger signs bill requiring parents to safely store firearms so children cannot access them.

Every Republican voted no.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

This decision supercharges the problem of money in politics.

It's the Republican plan: instead of winning over voters, Trump's Supreme Court is letting the ultra-rich flood our elections to drown out the voices of everyday people.

We must get money out of politics—period.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The numbers are in, and they are devastating.

5,000,000 Americans have dropped their Affordable Care Act coverage.

Here’s why.

Premiums on these plans doubled, on average, from last year to this one.

Deductibles hit a record high.

And families who were getting by suddenly found a monthly bill they simply could not pay. 

So they did the only thing they could. They gave up the coverage they needed. And it did not have to be this way.

The reason costs exploded is that Trump and Republicans in Congress let the tax credits that kept these plans affordable expire. We fought to extend them.

We warned, for months, exactly what would happen if those credits went away.

Republicans pushed their agenda through anyway, in their Big Ugly Bill, and chose tax breaks for billionaires over keeping a working family’s doctor visit within reach.

Now look at how they’re trying to spin it.

The administration wants you to believe this drop is about fraud. That’s nonsense and they know it. Independent health policy experts have looked at the data and reached the same conclusion. People did not disappear because of some crackdown. They disappeared because they could not afford the bill anymore.

When you double someone’s premium, they drop the plan.

This is not complicated.

It is as cruel and cynical as it gets. And the people who did this are going to answer for it.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story. The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and now we found out he was, should be a more significant story. The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup IS a significant story, and being treated as such, but in light of all the rest and his behavior throughout, it should be the end of his presidency.

Gee what a shock: Trump admin won't stop Paramount-WBD merger pushed by his cronies the Ellisons

Fortunately, state AG's, EU, UK & others are serious about defending democracy & free speech

🚨EXCLUSIVE: A commercial airline pilot tells MeidasTouch they filed FAA and NASA safety reports after lighting from Trump’s UFC event at the White House allegedly flooded their cockpit on approach to Reagan National. The pilot called it “10 times worse than any laser illumination event” they’d ever experienced. https://t.co/L6taUKdgbG

NEWS: In a complete reversal, Senate Republicans threw out my bill that would cover IVF for our servicemembers in the next defense bill.

They supported it last year. And the year before.

But this year, they chose to betray our heroes who dream of having a family. Outrageous.

[Sandi Bachom 📹 @sandibachom]

Let me tell you something I was in court with Jeffrey Epstein and shot the SDNY press conference when he was arrested. Lesley Groff is lying. Epstein needed THREE FRESH GIRLS A DAY. There were 1700 photographs of underage kids on the walls confiscated by the FBI. He also showed off his massage tables with sex toys to EVERYONE.

You couldn't be around him without knowing he was a monster

🚨 🔥 BREAKING: The Butler Story Just Got Stranger.

Newly released FBI records reportedly show a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged emails with Thomas Crooks before the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump.

The problem?

The records are heavily redacted.

That’s why this disclosure raises more questions than it answers.

What was discussed?

Why were they communicating?

And why is so much of it still being withheld?

The more information that comes out about Butler, the less settled the story seems to become.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

NEW: The American Postal Workers Union is “deeply alarmed” about the new USPS rule carrying out Trump's attack on mail-in voting. The union says it “rejects the premise” that the USPS needs to comply with Trump’s orders.

Hey MAGA Texans.

Let me introduce you to Adam Hoffman. He raped his son’s best friend from the age of six years old to nine years old. For three years this man raped a little boy.

Paxton made sure his buddy only got a 60 day sentence. Oh wait it gets better, he didn't even serve the full sixty days.

Wait wait, it's gets even better. He doesn't have to register as a sex offender and his record has been wiped clean.

MAGA maniacs want women to go to prison for miscarriages but are cool with pedophiles going free.

Ken Paxton is a disgusting criminal, that's why Trump endorsed him.

Make sure you have a plan to vote. @jamestalarico is what Texas needs. Not more of the Epstein Class.
#DemsUnited

[Jeff Leach @leachfortexas]

This is Adam Hoffman. He repeatedly raped a Texas boy — for nearly three years — dozens and dozens of times.

Tomorrow morning, May 25th 2026, he will be released from McLennan County Jail after spending just a few weeks there. He will not be required to register as a sex offender. And very soon he’ll be allowed to practice law again.

A real and dangerous predator — a present threat to Texas children — will be as free as you and me. A slap on his wrist and a spit in the face to his victim.

Why?! How?!

Because that’s the deal he made with Ken Paxton.

Vote accordingly.

The rate of newborn deaths is surging as American babies bleed to death from vitamin K deficiency, which is preventable with a single shot at birth.

Widespread medical disinformation has caused more parents to refuse vitamin K shots for their children.
