China has universal healthcare
Russia has universal healthcare
Even Belarus has universal healthcare

I’ve never seen a President so unwilling to work with the other side. We need a return to bipartisanship, or we’ll be right back here in a few months.

This is Trump’s government — and it is absolutely, categorically broken.

Once Again, Senate Democrats Show They Don’t Get Who They Represent The party was riding high on election wins, a fractured GOP, and a flailing Trump. And then the Senate Surrender Caucus handed Republicans a win.

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical. Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flights— and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.

Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department. A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are.

I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up.

The Palestinian groups’ YouTube channels hosted hours of footage documenting and highlighting alleged Israeli government violations of international law in both Gaza and the West Bank. interc.pt/4oUJNer

Are You on Trump’s List of Domestic Terrorists? There’s No Way to Know. The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list.

The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list.

The administration is hiding who is paying for Trump’s gilded ballroom.
 
And many of the big donors giving Trump money have a reason to … they want the administration’s signoff on their deals.
 
This is corruption, plain and simple.

This depravity proves it — for Trump, there is no rock bottom “For anyone holding their breath,” someone said online a couple weeks ago, “waiting for this fascist Trump regime to hit rock bottom: There is no rock bottom. Their depravity will continue to shock the world, week after week, for as long as they hold power.”It is a good time to reflect on how true t...

Five on-the-take Republicans on the Supreme Court legalized bribery with Citizens United. Clarence Thomas having taken millions from a billionaire, was the deciding vote. Is it any surprise, then, that on-the-take Republicans are trying to perpetuate and strengthen that decision by opposing Prop 50?

I don't get Medicaid.

I’m not on food stamps.

I rely on no Social Safety nets.

But I still believe in FULLY funding these programs.

Why?

Because I'm not a cruel ruthless selfish piece of shit.

Trump announces he will refuse to follow the court order to provide SNAP benefits to needy families.

The CBS News program 60 Minutes heavily edited down an interview with Donald Trump that aired on Sunday night, his first sit-down with the show in five years.

In Late, Obscure Notice, DHS Turbocharges Trump’s Voter Purge Database, Evading Privacy Protections Read more here.

SCOOP: Months late, the DHS quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database that now allows it to be used as a “voter verification” tool that sidesteps federal privacy protections and makes it easier to remove voters from the rolls.

If we had a real administration, the 25th Amendment would have been invoked by now. If we had a real Congress, he would have been impeached for a third time.

If “DEI” is out and “Merit” is in, how do you explain the Trump Cabinet?! Most of them are not competent or qualified.

If by DEI, he mean Deranged, Entitled and Ignorant, may I suggest Trump and his entire cabinet?

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

today in DC i saw National Guard troops picking up litter and standing around aimlessly 🫡

He's gotten as bad as Mitch McConnell. Unfit to serve.

The message couldn’t be clearer: if accountability won’t protect Trump, use force. That’s an explicit call to substitute power for process. A former National Security Advisor advocating extralegal authority to shield a political leader is not defending the Constitution; it's an attempt to replace it
