@FrankLuntz What state what the Pope vote in? Did he live in the US the last three to five years? I’m asking because I don’t know.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Tells you exactly what’s wrong with this world. Trump threatens a genocide, and media conglomerates want to know if it will be good or bad for the stock market.

Hiring at American businesses unexpectedly plunged last month as employers shed an estimated 92,000 jobs.

The unemployment rate edged higher to 4.4% from 4.3% during a month when a major labor strike occurred (nurses in California). https://t.co/DxqFqe93kw

It’s hard to get political news to break through to most Americans. But Facebook is flooded right now with this clip of Scott Bessent suggesting normal families own 5+ homes. A rare viral moment capturing how out of touch the GOP is with economic concerns.

Pharmaceutical companies have raised prices on hundreds of drugs so far in January, ushering in 2026 with steeper costs for everything from the COVID vaccine to Ozempic.

Companies hiked prices on 850 drugs by a median +4% over 2025 prices.

Harvard researcher Joan Brugge was leading a team of researchers who had just found very early markers for breast cancer.

When Trump cut the NIH grants for cancer because of Harvard's anti-DEI and antisemitism policies her research ended.

Trump's horrible policies now puts lifesaving research at risk and big pharma's oncology profits will rise even more.

Lives of women and men could have been saved but not now.

Thanks Trump! Del Monte foods is going out of business.

Another round of weak economic data Almost a year into Trump’s policies, Americans are worse off. You can’t tell families to be patient while bills keep rising. Since “Liberation Day,” job growth is just 17,000 a month, over 700,000 Americans are unemployed than last year, and youth unemployment is over 10%. Bad!

BREAKING: Fox News brutally exposes Trump's lies about "prices coming down," citing a 26% increase on holiday items, specifically blaming Trump's tariffs for the price spike.

When you lose Fox News.

The CDC reported a total 285 cases of measles nationwide in all of 2024.

This year has had the highest layoffs since 2020.

If you take away 2020, it's the highest number of job cuts since 2009.

🇺🇸 She's 91 years old, standing in a hospital gown, hands in chains. Arrested for felony theft. The judge could hardly believe it.

Helen and her husband George, 88, have been married 65 years. He has severe heart failure and needs medicine every day just to stay alive. They live on a fixed income, barely scraping by. Last month, their supplemental insurance lapsed after they couldn't afford the payment.

When Helen went to pick up his prescription, the bill wasn't their usual $50. It was $940. She left empty- handed.

For three days, she watched the man she loved struggle to breathe.

Desperate, she went back to the pharmacy. While the pharmacist turned away, she slipped the medication into her purse. She didn't even make it to the door before she was stopped. The police charged her with felony shoplifting.

During booking, her blood pressure skyrocketed, and she was rushed to the hospital. The next morning, still in her thin gown, she was brought into court.

"I didn't know what else to do," she whispered. "He's all I have."

The judge looked at her - small, trembling, 91 years old - and shook his head.

"Take those chains off her," he ordered.

"This is not a criminal. This is a failure of our system."

He dismissed the charges immediately and ordered emergency assistance for both her and George.

🚨 NEW: ADP report: U.S. LOST an average of 11,000 jobs per week in October 2025.

Let’s compare, shall we:

In 2024, the economy ADDED about 2.2 million jobs in 2024 — an average monthly GAIN of 186,000.

From steady climb to sudden slide.

The IRS notified states that Direct File won’t be available next year.

The program, which debuted in 2024, was a big shift from the decades-long IRS policy of not competing with the tax prep industry by offering its own free, online tax-filing service. https://t.co/OlKkzzMtVV

About 7 in 10 Americans say their grocery costs have risen in the past year, while about 6 in 10 say their utility costs have gotten higher.

Roughly 4 in 10 say the same about health care, gas, and housing.

EVERY DEMOCRAT and EVERY INDEPENDENT should do this at their business...

You want to take action and fight Trump, DO THIS.

This is Trump's GREAT FEAR.
