Straight from the horses mouth. The Republicans have a plan and that plan is to gut the programs millions of us rely on.

trump was out here calling the epstein files a 'Democrat hoax' while jd vance was having high levels meeting in the Situation Room to handle the fallout from MAGAts finding out their god is a pedophile.

For those who were so concerned about inflation in the run-up to the 2024 election, the inflation rate was 2.9% during Biden's last year in office. Today, with Donald and the White House in charge of the economy, inflation has risen to 4.2%.

4.2 > 2.9

Susan Collins cast the deciding vote for Brett Kavanaugh after promising he’d protect Roe v. Wade. Roe is gone. Now she won’t say if she regrets it.
The silence is the answer, Senator. 🤐

If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."

Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.

#BREAKING: Platner: “Susan Collins has gotten 21 TIMES WEALTHIER just in the last 15 year. Has anyone else gotten 21 times wealthier since Susan Collins was elected to office? Does Maine have 21 times the schools and hospitals? No. We have less. Susan Collins is getting rich while we are getting screwed.” 😳

A nugget buried in the big NYT piece on how the Trump White House had an internal freak-out over the Epstein case....If Bondi didn't use DOJ email, what did she use? I recall a time when the right (and the NYT) went ballistic over a Cabinet official's use of non-gov't email.

This dude is certifiably INSANE:

"I love the inflation" on the day inflation ticked up to 4.2%, crushing American consumers even more."

That's going to fit perfectly in ads, right behind "I don't think about Americans financial situations."

House Republicans are trying to gut the funding for the National Labor Relations Board, which enforces workers' rights to unionize and investigates unfair labor practices.

As a small business owner of a union printing shop for more than 3 decades, I explain why these cuts aren’t pro-business, they’re simply pro-inefficient.

Trump is attempting to prevent the USPS from delivering mail-in ballots in states that refuse to hand over voters' personal information.

In his previous term, he removed mail sorting machines to slow the mail in separate attempt to suppress votes from opposition voters.

AOC on Medicare Advantage: In theory, agents and brokers work with everyday people enrolling in a plan and are there to help them pick the best plan for their health, right?

That’s how it’s supposed to be set up.

What gets complicated is that agents and brokers are paid by health insurers for enrolling individuals in specific plans.

And so you’re supposed to have agents and brokers talking to your mom or your grandparent, saying, “We’d like to enroll you. We think this plan is what’s best for you.”

But what that person doesn’t know is that UnitedHealthcare is saying, “We’ll give you a vacation if you enroll people in our plan,” or, “We’ll give you a couple of extra hundred dollars if you enroll someone in a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, a United plan, or any number of other plans.”

And in your testimony, you stated that agents and brokers received $10 billion in this kind of compensation in 2022 alone, right?

That’s $10 billion in taxpayer money. A lot of it is being funneled through these corporations. And so that is money that is not going to care. It’s going to perks, trips to Boca, and financial incentives for brokers to enroll people out of traditional Medicare and into for-profit Medicare Advantage plans.

BREAKING; Bill Gates just told Congress that Jeffrey Epstein had sought to use Gates’ affairs in an effort to blackmail him.

So the question now is, if he did this to Bill Gates than imagine who else he did this too, especially Donald Trump.

Release the Epstein files now. America deserves to hear the truth.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her.
Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them.

I mean, how the fuck isn’t this the biggest scandal in the world right now?

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out."

Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it."

The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened.
When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time.

The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie."

This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.

The firing of Scott Pelley is a warning for our democracy.

This is the same Scott Pelley who reminded us: In 1798, the Sedition Act made it illegal to criticize the government—reporters went to jail for doing their jobs.

Madison taught us that freedom of the press guarantees all the others. Attacking journalists is an assault on the truth that sustains our democracy.

If you ever had a relative, who was on hospice & wanted to die with dignity in their own home, this disgusting administration just made it so much harder
Cruelty is the point with Republicans in Congress

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.

Jennifer Welch: “There is credible information in the Epstein Files by a 13-year-old girl, she claims under oath that she was assaulted by the sitting president. All these MAGA Christians, Erika Kirk and her harem of pro-pedophilia women never speak out for victims of sexual assault. They never speak out about crime when it’s one of their own because they believe in nothing other than white men getting power”
