Given that the GOP is hiding Oct's economic reports as tightly as if they were the Epstein Files has to point to the economy being in far worse shape than anyone admits. Just wait until they add in the IA bubble bursting, Tesla's Enron-styled implosion & a war of aggression against Venezuela.

The housing crisis isnโ€™t about immigrants โ€” itโ€™s about private equity gobbling up entire neighborhoods and pricing families out. Blaming immigrants is cowardly lie.

The real villains are the billionaires turning homes into profit machines.

Donald Trump, Jr.โ€™s net worth has increased six-fold since his father was reelected.

Eric Trump has gotten ten times richer over the same time period.

Funny how that works, huh?

Towards the end Hitler was going mad. He kept insisting the Germans were going to win and ordered his generals to move in at strategic points. All while the Russians were entering Berlin. He even wanted Himmler and Guering executed for wanting to surrender dumpy says the economy is A+++++

Trumpโ€™s AI-Powered Attack on Medicare Donald Trump and Dr. Oz are rolling out a pilot program to fundamentally change Medicare

Trump's AI Death Panels

Medicare historically had more covered procedures, with fewer hoops to jump through, than for-profit insurance.

Trump regime is forcing AI Prior Authorization obstacles on Medicare, starting in Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas.

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

I didnโ€™t start hating Trump in 2016. I saw the pattern in the 80sand I was just a kid. Hereโ€™s the timelineโ€ฆ

1980s: Trump branded himself as a mogul while piling up lawsuits and reckless deals. By the late โ€™80s, he was losing more money than nearly any other U.S. taxpayer. ๐ŸฅŠ

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

Trump has โ€˜shaken the hellโ€™ out of the 80-year research pact between the government and universities. What now? Trump has "shaken the hell" out of the 80-year research pact between the government and universities. What now?

We need more public awareness of this. The change in how award grant money is given has reduced the number of projects funded. These include cancer, Alzheimer's & HIV.

This reduction includes a drop in high-risk/high reward grants to pursue more innovative ideas.

Susan Collins is a Republican.

It does not matter what she says, as all Republicans do is lie.

Susan Collins is a radical right wing fascist, like every other member still in the GOP, a decade into Putin's takeover of the party through his prized asset, Trump.

So well said Nichole!
All the civics lessons we learned in high school ended up being only best-case scenarios for how our democracy was safeguarded. But, we have had a criminal GOP hellbent on destroying the system for 40 years now & when the darkness lifts, we need a new truly ironclad democracy.
