Trump claims he’s cut drug prices by “1,500 percent”

Southwest Ohio to lose two health clinics over federal, state budget Medicaid cuts • Ohio Capital Journal Southwest Ohio is going to lose two reproductive health clinics due to the federal budget changes to Medicaid, a loss that could mean more abortions will happen, according to the leader of the clinics...

"While the budget changes bar health providers who perform abortions from being a part of Medicaid, the clinics being closed did not offer abortion services.

Their services included tests for sexually transmitted diseases, birth control, cancer screenings..."

YouTube video by The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart Mehdi Hasan on the Media, Democrats & The Crisis In Gaza | The Weekly Show

My 'The Weekly' podcast interview this week with Jon Stewart on Trump, fascism, feckless Dems, Merrick Garland's role, Gaza, Israel, the corporate media, and more, has been getting a lot of love online, and positive feedback, and just crossed 1 million views on YouTube.

Have you watched it yet?

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.

WELKER: Does the administration have any evidence that the jobs numbers were rigged?

HASSETT: The evidence is that there have been a bunch of revisions

WELKER: But hard evidence?

HASSETT: The revisions are hard evidence


(They are not "hard evidence")

Republicans voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care.

They also voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.

This won’t just harm people.

This will kill people.

They own this.

And the EPA wants to say climate change is not a threat to human health (highly toxic smoke across much of the US is ok?) and welfare (whole towns cities burning is ok?). What are those climate deniers smoking?!

"The climate has always been changing" -- played a clip of himself warning about climate change in 2016, EPA chief Lee Zeldin now dismisses it

An ex Executive Director of the Tennessee State planning office Keel Hunt says the media is both-sidesing @GovBillLee & Musk’s Tesla Tunnel scheme and ignoring the “abandonment” of inter-department communication, and absence of key details.

Corruption.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

We don't need a 'Democratic Stephen Miller.' We need Democrats who will unapologetically fight for our values.

We don't need a 'Joe Rogan of the Left.' We need a progressive media ecosystem that will unapologetically fight for our values.

We don't need their playbook. We need to believe in us.

The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82.

Am I doing this right?
