A CNN investigation has found that while Jared Kushner acted as a key Middle East peace negotiator, his private equity firm held the largest stake in an Israeli company backing businesses tied to Israel's military campaign in Gaza, including its largest arms manufacturer. https://t.co/zPxwBqGzs0
The Trump administration appears to have changed its AI chatbot so that it no longer debunks Trump lies.
Yesterday: It said Biden won the 2020 election and there's no indication of widespread fraud.
Today: Says it can't answer such questions.
The worst place to be in America isn't poor. It's middle class with no savings.
Open enrollment texted me, so I went down a Medicaid rabbit hole, and I need everyone to understand how broken this is.
If you qualify for Medicaid, a procedure that costs thousands barely costs you anything. Doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, basically covered.
Make $45k a year with "good" employer insurance? Congrats, you're paying hundreds a month in premiums just to hit a $5,000 deductible before anything kicks in. One ambulance ride and your emergency fund is gone. You don't have an emergency fund? Even better, now it's medical debt.
And here's the part that breaks my brain: the system is designed so climbing out is a trap too. Get a raise that pushes you just over the line and you lose coverage overnight. Try to save money while on disability and they cap you at about $2,000 in assets. Poor people are locked in. Middle class people are bleeding out. The only people winning are the ones rich enough to never think about any of this.
We work full time to be one bad diagnosis away from ruin. This country isn't failing the poor or the middle class. It's farming both.
We are so cooked.
Fox News spends all day telling you communism is evil, then Bret Baier, Laura Ingraham, and Jesse Watters put on tuxedos and attend a state dinner honoring China’s communist leader.
They are so full of shit.
Does anyone else find it just a wee bit peculiar that this buffoon is inviting President Xi to see a ballroom that is supposed to contain top secret military stuff, since he keeps saying the bunker is for military purposes?
Endless stupidity.
TRUMP SAYS HE'S TRANSFERRING 10 BILLION DOLLARS FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO HIS BOARD OF PEACE 🙄 WHERE IS THE 13 BILLION DOLLARS HE TOOK FROM VENEZUELA 🤔 THIS AIN'T A PRESIDENCY, IT'S AN OUT OF CONTROL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION 🙄
Breaking News: A sheriff in California was ordered by the state Supreme Court to return about 650,000 ballots to election officials after he confiscated them for an investigation into voter fraud that state officials said had no basis in fact. https://t.co/52iwocdGd5
I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.
Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
To understand how big this could be, the DOJ attorneys aren’t only alleging Trump is running afoul civilly…
they are alleging that he BROKE numerous laws.
Trump does this stupid stunt of kicking out the media from the White House on the same day that ... @RoKhanna and @RepThomasMassie announced they have enough votes to demand the release of the second set of Epstein Files.
🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a sweeping package of election laws Saturday, including a measure making it a felony to seize ballots, election records or voting technology before an election is certified. https://t.co/72yZMpYvk5
The height of cruelty is taking away food from someone who is hungry, and healthcare from someone who is sick — all to give a tax cut to those at the very top.
That's exactly what Donald Trump and his allies in Congress chose to do.
The biggest mistake in American history was not dragging Trump off to prison within 24 hours of January 6th. And we'll pay for that for the rest of our lives.
