Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

The truth? Reform never made any inquiries.

Trump has frozen or canceled $28B in funding for infrastructure projects in Democratic congressional districts.

Meanwhile, representatives of those districts are fighting to extend ACA subsidies β€” more than half of which go to people in GOP-held districts.

Sanders: Did he really say that? They're trying to fix health care by throwing 15 million people off of it?

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

'We'll get British taxpayers' money back': Labour minister warns Michelle Mone as he calls on Tories to revoke peerage | LBC Stephen Kinnock has insisted the government has now instructed lawyers to start legal proceedings after the firm linked to the Tory peer failed to pay by deadline

Now thisπŸ‘‡πŸΌis what I want to see from our Govt, not the cronyism, and Ministers complicit in dodgy dealings protecting their own as the Tories did..

Labour are a long way short of perfect, but we need to remember how badly the Tories abused power from illegal Covid parties to barefaced corruption❗️
