This is so true

Senator Josh Hawley calls for all American Healthcare to become a tax write off

“If you pay premiums, you ought to be able to deduct that from your taxes. If you have out-of-pocket medical expenses, you ought to be able to deduct every dollar off of your taxes”

“Why shouldn’t we make healthcare tax-free in this country? Why shouldn’t we just exempt all healthcare from taxes?

We did no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime earlier this year. How about no taxes on healthcare? If you pay premiums, you ought to be able to deduct that from your taxes. If you have out-of-pocket medical expenses, you ought to be able to deduct every dollar off of your taxes.

You wanna lower the cost of healthcare immediately? Do that. No taxes on healthcare for any American’— Let’s think about working people in this country who cannot afford healthcare. What if we said to them today, “We’re not going to tax your healthcare costs?””

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

The Trump administration is weakening worker protections and attacking union rights.

This Immigration attorney has a client that is a U.S citizen & was suspiciously detained by ICE last night! The attorney filed Habeas Corpus & the Judge ordered an injunction showing she couldn’t be moved or deported! They just found out that they moved her to Louisiana! 🤬

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Chip Roy just admitted that Republicans only have garbage to offer the American people. Woah.

Donald Trump Jr. joined an investment fund called 1789 Capital just last year. Since then, the fund has grown to more than $ 1 billion. And that growth has a lot to do with its new access to government money.
Agencies that should be making decisions in the public interest are rewarding firms connected to the president’s family.
It’s just disgusting that dollars meant to support national security, create jobs, and strengthen our economy are instead being used to grow the personal wealth of the people who ALREADY hold the most power.

Secretary Noem tried to tell me that she hasn’t deported any veterans. I introduced her to one.

🚨 AMERICAN SENIOR CITIZENS ARE FLOODING ACROSS THE BORDER INTO MEXICO EVERY MORNING - AND YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHY

At sunrise, groups of American senior citizens are literally walking out of the United States and straight into Mexico - not for vacation, not for cheap shopping… but because they can’t afford basic dental care in America anymore.

One woman says a U.S. dentist quoted her $3,000 for a single procedure on ONE tooth.
Across the border?
$900.
Same work. Same day. One-third the price.

"Look behind her - it’s ALL Americans coming across the border... but yet we have the wall up."
Retirees. Grandparents. Veterans.
People who spent their entire lives paying into a system that now tells them they’re on their own.

Nobody in Washington talks about this version of the border: Americans quietly leaving the country because their own healthcare system priced them out.

So be honest - would YOU cross the border if it saved you thousands?

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Holy shit! According to Rep. Melanie Sransbury, the pedophile president is not only mentioned in the Epstein files numerous times, his rape of 13-year-old Katie Johnson is also in the files. This is why Trump has Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino working to scrub his name.

"In the longest line I have ever seen at our local church food bank, been standing here for an hour, its 34 degrees. A small town in Kentucky with a population of <4800. Basically 10% of the population is waiting at the food bank."

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.”

She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called @GovTimWalz the R word.

Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data.

It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America.
