Bernie Sanders just said it plain:
“Tonight, Democrats voted with Republicans to raise healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans and pave the way to kick 15 million off Medicaid. 60,000 will die every year, so the rich can get a trillion-dollar tax cut.”
This was a betrayal of working people.
The USDA has announced that no SNAP benefits will be issued for the month of November.

They aren't just buying houses. They are dismantling the American Dream, piece by piece, with a playbook so sinister it would make a Bond villain blush.
A few weeks ago, BlackRock allegedly bought 50,000 homes. Then, they sold three to themselves for more than double the price.
Your neighbor's home value just "doubled" overnight. Congratulations. Now you can't afford the property taxes to live there anymore.
This isn't an accident. It's a calculated corporate heist. Here is their step-by-step playbook:
STEP 1: THE HUNT
They use algorithms and vast data to identify stable, middle-class neighborhoods with untapped "growth potential." These are your tree-lined streets, your good schools, your community.
STEP 2: THE BLITZKRIEG
They show up with unlimited corporate cash. They don't need mortgages. They offer 20%, 30%, even 50% above asking price. Imagine you list your home. A young family makes an offer. Then a corporate entity swoops in and says, "We'll pay $100k more, in cash." The family never stood a chance. The community is gutted before the "For Sale" signs even come down.
STEP 3: THE SQUEEZE
Regular families are now permanently priced out. How do you compete with a bottomless wallet? You don't. The dream of homeownership is extinguished on your own street.
STEP 4: THE ILLUSION
Once they control a critical mass of homes, the real magic happens. They sell a handful of properties to shell companies they already own. It's a game of three-card monte, but with the roof over your head.
STEP 5: THE NEW "REALITY"
Those fake, inflated sales to themselves are now logged in public records. Suddenly, a $300,000 home is "worth" $700,000. This becomes the new, fraudulent "market rate."
STEP 6: THE FINAL NAIL - THE TAX TRAP
This is where they force you out. Your property taxes are reassessed and TRIPLE based on their fake sales. The elderly couple on a fixed income, who paid off their home 20 years ago, can't afford $15,000 a year in taxes. The young family that scraped together a down payment is now house-poor.
THE ULTIMATE INSULT: YOU WILL OWN NOTHING, AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO RENT FROM THEM.
They created the problem. They priced you out. And now, they become your landlord. The mortgage payment would have been $1,800. Your new rent to them is $2,500. You are now a permanent tenant in your own neighborhood, funding the very machine that evicted you.
This isn't capitalism. It's a hostile takeover of the foundational pillar of American life. It's financial warfare against the middle class.
HOLY SMACKDOWN! Mark Cuban got embarrassed! https://t.co/cPoZQvupBC
CUBAN: Half my family's Ukrainian! So, I think we should help.
TUCKER: How much money have you sent to Ukraine?
CUBAN: None.
TUCKER: Oh, so what do you mean by 'we?'
CUBAN: 😮
TUCKER: You're the one whose family's from Ukraine. Why don't you send them a billion dollars?
CUBAN: Because I'm trying to fix healthcare.
TUCKER: Why don't you fix their healthcare - if you think 'we' need to help, why don't you start? Why not you first? I notice that's never even an OPTION for anybody. It's like, 'we need to help!' That's not what charity is. Forcing other people to help is not charity.

NEW: Former BYU baseball player sentenced after being accused of s*xually assaulting a girl for 5 years, starting when she was just 7 years old.
The girl, now 15, says the abuse from now 22-year-old Candon Dahle started when she was 7 and lasted until she was 12.
"My earliest memory of the abuse is 7 years old, but I know he was touching me before that. Almost every time we were together, Candon was touching me under my clothes..."
"Some memories are so damaging, because it was me holding in cries of pain while Candon was pleasured."
"I was just 11 years old when he covered my mouth because he didn’t want the family close by to know what he was doing."
"You forced me to keep your secret for seven years. I sat through your baseball games, I watched the world cheer for you."
"I watched you achieve every church standing and be celebrated, all while I screamed inside because I knew the truth."
Dahle was sentenced to just 180 days in local jail in Idaho, 8 years of probation, just $2600 in fines, and 200 hours of community service.
He also does not have to register as a s*x offender thanks to the plea deal.
What a pathetic sentence.
This is the Jalapeño Popper Cheesesteak at Sauced by Alfaro (1st & N Washington St in downtown Papillion).
It’s not just the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. It’s a top 5 sandwich of my life.
You’re depriving yourself of you don’t get this.
BREAKING: The US government has just removed sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the US Constitution from their website.
Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with:

Harold’s Koffee House (30th & State) put forth a VERY solid competitor in my Omaha Breakfast Sandwich Hunt. This bagel sandwich with house sausage, cheddar, and a fried egg was fantastic.
And the Hash Browns (cut fresh each morning) are some of Omaha’s best.
SCOTUS decided McGirt v. Oklahoma on this day in 2020, reaffirming tribal sovereignty. 5 years on, that promise has been steadily nullified by state courts defying federal law, and so today, I asked SCOTUS to review and restore the rule of law in Oklahoma

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.
This rep has X posts with negative statements about all immigrants+those from "third world countries." He's referenced the "great replacement" theory. He's asked "why don't white people get to have their own country?"+"I am curious though, what books did the Nazis burn exactly?"
🚨NEW: Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins has announced that they will reduce VA staff by 30,000 in the next two months.
RETWEET to let America know that the Trump Administration is cutting services for our veterans!
When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. https://t.co/zQZmKq7553
