Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.

It costs ~$70 to produce a yearโ€™s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isnโ€™t inflation or supply chainโ€”Itโ€™s corporate greed.

Nowโ€”California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Newsom: This president appears unhingedโ€ฆ seems listlessโ€ฆ he seems, dare I say, in declineโ€”cognitively, andโ€ฆ physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

โ€œ90% of insulin in this country is in the hands of just 3 big companies. This announcement is about disrupting this space in the absence of federal leadership. Iโ€™m proud of California, our state leading in this area.โ€

Pastor Kevin Curtis Jones, MAGAt-PEDO, loved Charlie Kirk so much that he wore a โ€œFREEDOMโ€shirt during his sermon.

It makes you wonder โ€˜whatโ€™ or โ€˜whomโ€™ theyโ€™re wanting the โ€œFREEDOMโ€ to do.

SCOTUS Says Alex Jones Still Must Pay $1.4 Billion for Saying Sandy Hook Massacre Was a โ€˜Hoaxโ€™ A lawyer who represents Sandy Hook families said the Supreme Court had properly rejected Jonesโ€™ โ€œlatest desperate attempt to avoid accountability for the harm he has caused.โ€

GOOD! - Alex Jones attorneys insisted the total is an โ€œamount that can never be paid,โ€ calling it a โ€œfinancial death penalty by fiat imposed on a media defendant whose broadcasts reach millions.โ€ But the highest court in the nation wasnโ€™t moved.

Keep your eyes on this. We canโ€™t afford to lose because of unfair elections. Keep this on the forefront along with the other games theyโ€™re playing.
Saturday, October 18th! Letโ€™s make a difference. Make noise and show them how many of us there really are and how small they are.

Bessent says bailout for Argentina will double to boost U.S. influence in region The Trump administration is working to arrange private sector financing for Argentina that would double the total U.S. financial lifeline for the embattled Latin nation.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

"In unison."

ICE detained a nonverbal, 15 year-old autistic boy who'd been selling fruit by the side of the road with his family when he took a bathroom break. The family was not notified. He was held in ICE detention for a week before the family could find him.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Vance downplays group chat messages: โ€˜Kids do stupid things, especially young boys.โ€™ The vice president called the texts "edgy, offensive jokes."

last i checked these young republicans were like 25 years old. but this is a classic case of infantilization to diminish the significance of the offense. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Bessentโ€™s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.

#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.

#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.

Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"
