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.”

Here are some stats Fox News doesn't want you to know.

52 million jobs have been created since the Cold War.

Democratic administrations created 50 million.

Republican administrations created 1.9 million.

Republican Presidents have 1 thing in common: recession.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

House Republicans are using a photo of Trump from 2019. He golfed on Thanksgiving instead of meeting with troops. Pathetic.

They want to cancel the midterms. Wake the fuck up, people.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.

BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada.

He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are.

It's VERY effective.
Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY SHIT: Biographer Michael Wolff says Melania threatened to sue him for a BILLION dollars over claims about her and Epstein…

But he HIT BACK!

He has filed for declaratory judgment - which allows him to ask her and Trump about Epstein UNDER OATH!!

I realize that I am just a general contractor. Not a big city developer who has never brought in a project on budget and many of his projects have gone bankrupt. But here is what I know.

Never in the history of any public works project has any legitimate contractor neglected to deal with the National Registry of Historic Properties before demolishing a property. Never in the history of such projects has any contractor not submitted, plans, for permits and approvals. Never in recent history has any project like this not been cleared through environmental agencies who would make sure that asbestos and lead were not in a very old building. Finally, it is unbelievable that in less than a week he has literally doubled the budget for the project.

And since contractors have to be licensed who is the contractor?

This is egregious. This man needs to be reminded that he is one year into a four year lease and he did not even consult the building owners before he destroyed history.

The Constitution does not require the president to notify Congress; it requires the president to get permission from Congress.

@AndyKimNJ Every Fascist regime in history has a sadistic bureaucrat that takes advantage of their role in govt to inflict pain and suffering on the governed. Vought is clearly a sadist and he is enjoying his opportunity to make others suffer. Trump is making America far more dangerous.

@AndyKimNJ @Emilie_ing When this is over, we really need to put a foot on the necks of these oligarchs.

That he has ever been "tough on Russia" is the real Trump Russia hoax. This is why Putin wanted him to win and did everything he could to promote that outcome.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Just so we’re all clear, the sitting US President sexually assaulted children, and Congressional Republicans are covering it up.

Anyone who can’t call that out, is a pathetic coward.

Zak’s back with some really interesting and incisive data worth examining.

The only upside for the red states is they get permission to hate women, gay people, migrants and Democrats. They would say it’s a small price to pay for being at the bottom of the pile.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

In the last 17 years, there have been only 3 instances of negative job growth (job losses):

1. 2008 Great Financial Crisis

2. 2020

3. This past June

Trump was president the last two times.

But he's not satisfied. With his tariff, inflation hike, self-own, he's going to drive us off a cliff.

Just like he was the cause of Jan 6, he is the sole cause of the jobs recession.
