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.
For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.
Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.
Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.
Israel has been violating the ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza for months, killing hundreds of people and displacing thousands.

Potential survivors of Israeli attack and double-tap strike trapped beneath the rubble in south Lebanon
——
Consecutive Israeli airstrikes today targeted emergency workers from the Al-Risala Scout Association as they attempted to deliver food supplies to a stranded family in Zebdine, south Lebanon.
The attack unfolded in a rapid "double-tap" sequence: warplanes first struck the residential property just as the ambulance arrived, followed moments later by an Israeli drone strike that targeted a bystander rushing to assist the wounded.
The coordinated strikes have left multiple casualties trapped under heavy debris, with desperate cries for help still echoing from beneath the collapsed building. Despite the extreme urgency, life-saving rescue operations remain paralyzed as the Lebanese Army and emergency medical teams wait nearby for the critical security clearances required to safely access the active strike zone that is still being threatened by further Israeli attacks.
Israel is not our ally. They're a foreign government that has stolen our nuclear secrets, nuclear triggers and uranium. And they built weapons of mass destruction with them. They also stole our most sensitive intelligence through Jonathan Pollard.
They have robbed us of $320 billion. They made us waste $8 trillion fighting their wars in the Middle East.
The way they pulled off these heists is by legally bribing almost our entire Congress and being the top donor to presidents from both parties.
Their co-conspirators are the national media who cover up all these crimes and pretend that Israel is an innocent victim who desperately needs our help. When they are the exact opposite. They are an aggressive empire that takes our money and military and uses it to attack their neighbors and take their land.
We have to stop this inflitration of our country by a foreign nation that has taken control of the power structure in Washington. We are occupied.
🇮🇪 Ireland announced a ban on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, barring them from entering the country over their anti-Palestinian statements and conduct toward Gaza flotilla activists, according to the Times of Israel.
Irish Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, said last month that the two extremist ministers’ statements “essentially amount to a desire to see the elimination of Palestinians from Palestine.” Both ministers have previously been sanctioned by several EU countries for inciting extremist violence.
Palestinian journalist and mother Aya Shamaa wrote about how an Israeli attack killed her children, newborn Ryan and seven-year-old Yaman. Like countless mothers in Gaza, she saw her children as gleams of hope amid a fragile ceasefire. Narrated by Al Jazeera’s Al Anoud Al Aqeedi.
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I asked Senate Republicans who among them thought Trump’s slush fund was a good idea. None replied and silence filled the chamber.
I then offered Republicans a chance to shut it down by voting for my amendment.
They chose not to. They are simply too scared of crossing this corrupt president.
CNN: Ayub Junaid, 6 years old, Gaza. Neurological condition. Specialized glasses - broken. Can't replace them. Surgery not available in Gaza. Displaced. Lost in a maze of tents
Israel agreed to evacuate 50 Gazan patients per day as part of the ceasefire. Average since October? Fewer than eight per day. Eight. Out of 50.
If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
Israeli forces shot and critically wounded a seven-month-old infant in the head after opening fire on his family’s vehicle as it was passing through the Wadi al-Hariya area of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
The infant’s mother and father were also injured in the attack.

She is among more than 3,500 Lebanese people killed by Israel since it renewed its attacks on the country in March.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: The Palestinian Doctor Who Put His Patients’ Lives Before His Own and Was Arrested and Brutally Abused
▪️ On December 27, 2024, Israeli forces arrested Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, from inside the hospital before proceeding to destroy the facility and continue what have been described as war crimes.
▪️ During the months leading up to his arrest, Abu Safiya refused to leave the hospital or abandon his patients and the wounded despite repeated Israeli demands and threats. He continued his humanitarian missions working under bombardment, siege, and with almost no resources available.
▪️ Abu Safiya repeatedly appealed to the international community to keep Israeli forces away from hospitals and patients.
▪️ He remained committed to his duties as a physician despite being injured himself, despite injuries to his son Idris, and despite of killing of his son Ibrahim, whom he buried with his own hands inside the hospital.
▪️ After his son was killed by the Israeli army , Abu Safiya said through tears that they had “burned his heart.” Nevertheless, he remained steadfast and did not leave patients and the wounded alone in the face of guns and tanks.
▪️ Abu Safiya remains in detention and is reportedly being subjected to mistreatment and torture amid a deterioration in his health. He was recently transferred to solitary confinement in Israeli prison , with no communication allowed with him.
For many decades, Zionists promoted the biggest lie in modern history. They claimed they came to “a land without a people, for a people without a land.”
But the truth they tried to erase is that Palestine was pulsing with life. It was not a barren desert, but a complete homeland embracing a civilized people.
This photograph, taken in Jerusalem in 1896, documents people living peacefully side by side in Palestine. The holy places of the three religions are scattered across a few hundred square meters. The Great Mosque is close to Christ's tomb, further along at the foot of the Wailing Wall.
Until armed Zionist gangs entered turning this prosperity into rubble, and displacing its owners.
AOC: When people see a ballroom and, at the same time, see their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly unaffordable housing.
And so I think people are pissed off about it, and they should be. It’s wrong. This is a complete theft of our money. This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom, or to renovate the Kennedy Center, or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for—paying for things that actually benefit you: better roads, health care, and more affordable groceries.
BREAKING 🚨🇬🇷
Greeks are being pushed just like Albanians.
An Israeli investment fund is aggressively privatizing 200 hectares of Kalamata’s western beach, fencing off public coast for residences.
They want to create future colonies.
