$20 Billion for an Argentina bank bail out to help Trump's rich friends
$173 Million for Kristi Noem's jet
$250 Million for a ballroom only billionaires have access to, not you

Millions are about to see healthcare costs rise & farmers are going bankrupt, and suddenly there's $0 for them

As a result of President Trump’s suspension of foreign aid, hundreds of USAID shipments of antimalarial and HIV medical supplies arrived late at regional warehouses in dozens of countries.

Many did not arrive at all. The consequences were deadly. https://wapo.st/4mEo6NZ

Well done, Alaska.

Standing Together in the Wake of the CDC Tragedy From For OS announcements to all of HHS HHS-NEWS-ALL@LIST.NIH.GOV on behalf of HHS News Do Not Reply (OS/ASPA) DoNotReply.HHS.News@HHS.GOV Date Sat 8/9/2025 11:31 AM To HHS-NEWS-ALL@LIST.NIH.GOV HHS-NEWS-ALL@LIST.NIH.GOV Dear colleagues, As many of you have heard, a tragic shooting occurred yesterday at the CDC’s Roybal Campus in Atlanta. One police officer, David Rose, lost his life in the line of duty. Our prayers are with the officer’s wife and three children, one of them unborn. I also send my prayers out to the entire CDC family — especially those directly impacted. We know how deeply unsettling this is, particularly for those working in Atlanta. The shock and uncertainty that follow incidents like this are real, and they affect us all in different ways. We want everyone to know, you’re not alone. Leadership is in close coordination with CDC teams to ensure support is available on the ground. Any HHS staff feeling the weight of this tragedy can call the SAMHSA Disaster Distress 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-985-5990. This is a reminder of the very human challenges public servants sometimes face — even in places dedicated to healing and progress. But it also reinforces the importance of the work you do every day. From public health labs to data systems to community programs, your efforts matter. They move us closer to our shared goal: making this country healthier, safer, and more resilient. We’ll get through this the same way we approach our mission — together. In solidarity, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFKJ, will there be enough staff at SAMHSA to answer our calls since you fired most of them?

And which part of our work is important? COVID vaccines? Violence prevention (also fired).

We don’t need your platitudes. We need you to stop telling lies that are putting our lives in danger.

Who’s the moron who appointed Jerome Powell to be Fed Chair anyway?

I'm sorry, nine HUNDRED former DOJ lawyers all signed this letter opposing Emil Bove's nomination to be an appellate federal judge?

900?!

RFK Jr. Is as Bad as We All Imagined If it walks like a quack, talks like a quack, and quacks like a quack. . .

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop it—if that’s even possible at this juncture.

Thank you to all of our service members and veterans. We appreciate you, your families, and your sacrifices for our country. Wish we were spending millions on you instead of a parade.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period.

This shit is out of control.

Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Kennedy Removes All C.D.C. Vaccine Panel Experts

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social discusses the chilling effect on civil society when law firms, institutions, and media companies cave under pressure from Trump.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

And you thought the left was censorious. How about actual censoring?

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Trump orders end to federal funding for NPR and PBS In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.

📌NOTE: At the end of last year, Conservatives had a whopping 25-pt. lead over Liberals in Canada.
Then the America-attacking Trump was narrowly elected by a wide swath of complete idiots here.
Canada said: not here.
Liberal Mark Carney is expected to prevail tonight.
I stand with him and Canada.

Seeing a lot of "RFK IS Wrong About Autism" headlines. Well, duh.

Strike the word "austism" and replace it with "everything" and it saves time.

“We have a system of checks and balances. A tyrant can always be stopped as long as congress has a spine.”

Congress:

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
