OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Winsome Earle Sears can't make this guarantee because she supported a 15-week abortion ban as recently as 2023. And in 2022, she suggested an equivalence between consenting to sex and consenting to pregnancy. Great candidate, VA GOP!

Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just admitted that the Big Ugly Bill's "Trump Accounts" are a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security."

This follows Trump and DOGE slashing SSA staffing levels to record lows.

Make no mistake: the Trump regime is waging war on Social Security.

What a surprise that this freak had porn playing in his office during a state school meeting. He also mandated Trump Bibles in every classroom.

β€œDoesn’t look great, Donald. Doesn’t look great.”

Apparently @thebulwark.com’s @timmiller.bsky.social thinks it’s weird that Trump invited models as young as 16 to a party at his house and only invited… Jeffrey Epstein.

Think Medicaid cuts do not affect you because you are not on Medicaid?

Well, enjoy your 10 hour wait at the Emergency Room while uninsured individuals use it for primary care.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s β€˜Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.

"Metadata embedded in the Epstein video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro."

They want to rule by fear. We will respond with power, people, and purpose.

On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are coming together.

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

And the Freedom Caucus will still be tagged as deficit hawks in the press even though they've only ever been that when it's a Democrat in the White House.

Obamacare  expanded Medicaid giving access to millions.  Trump couldn’t repeal it, so he’s defunding Medicaid, taking away access from millions.  Cruelty is the point.

Millions of Americans know the pain and hardship of getting a cancer diagnosis. That’s a misfortune, a terrible misfortune.

Voting for a tax scheme designed to rip health care from millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet? That’s not a misfortune, that’s an injustice.

🚨 Republicans have made it clear EXACTLY where their loyalties lieβ€”and it’s not with working families or struggling communities. Their allegiance is with mega-corporations, billionaires & Trump.

πŸ“Œ It’s a derelict of their duty to allow people to suffer & dieβ€”do your job & vote no!

This is a really important point. Most Medicaid recipients likely have NO idea that they’re about to lose their coverage.
