I don't think people realize that Medicaid is a lifeline for working parents who can't afford to cover their children through their employer. Many employers pass through the ENTIRE cost for dependents and spouses and it's exhorbitant.

Trump Voters Just Found Out They’re Losing Their Healthcare "I voted for Donald Trump to piss off liberals."

It was the fuck aroundiest of times, it was the find outiest of times.

It was the age of voting to own the libs, it was the age of losing your Medicaid and begging the libs for help.

So much for small government and states’ rights. The hypocrisy is dangerously absurd. Trump is now suing Colorado and Denver, accusing them of obstructing federal immigration actions the latest salvo in his push to force local governments to carry out deportations.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Officeβ€”he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Officeβ€”he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: 

"The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like.

Here's the whole paragraph:

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.

Not everyone survived the first term.

Over a million Americans died. How many more lives will be lost this time around?

AMC is doing an 80's movie marathon and currently showing Pretty In Pink. Clearly it's been remastered and I'm surprised by how much it bothers me! Feels like a soap opera.

Support for Trump’s tariffs means higher prices on everything. Gas, food, housing, everything.

Every politician should be asked if they support higher prices on everything due to Trump’s tariffs.

I get it. You don't like that Trump is getting away with all the crimes. He was indicted, the trial date was set, and you knew he had to lose the election or he was never going to see prison.

It's easy to blame Biden, or Garland, or Smith, but before you do, blame everyone who voted for Trump.

Americans voted for low prices and deportations. Who's gonna tell them that labor shortages drive inflation?

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
