“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

And here I was thinking the way to solve hunger was food.

Someone working for minimum wage in Iowa would need to put two hours of work to make meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy for their family.

The price of 1 lb of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage…

The landlord gutting America’s hospitals Medical Properties Trust buys up hospitals and then leases them back to health care systems. Dozens of its hospitals have gone belly up.

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

Kennedy to oust care task force, WSJ reports; HHS says no decision yet U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

RFK Jr. plans to fire all 16 members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force calling them too “woke”. The panel sets free coverage rules for cancer screenings & more. A key meeting was quietly canceled.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

Thomas Massie wants to release the Epstein files. Trump is attacking him.

Let’s just take a moment to thank Donald Jr for his clear eyed, and steadfast determination to get answers with Epstein. He says to ask ourselves DAILY what SCUM would be against disclosure and truth? Hmmm….

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Make no mistake: Some things that Trump and crew did in the past 48 hours, like Gabbard's claim about Obama, Trump posting a video of Obama being dragged to a jail cell, and referring the Fed Chair to the DOJ, are all troubling.

BUT: Trump wants you to stop talking about the Epstein files. Don't.

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

JD Vance, Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Donald Trump are all pictured with contradicting messages about the Epstein list. Vance’s picture reads “We need to release the list,” Patel’s reads “There is no list,” Bondi’s reads “The list is on my desk,” and Trump’s reads “The list is fake and made by Obama.”

Exclusive: Trump team withholds $140 million budgeted for fentanyl fight Threats to $140 million in funds for public health departments battling fentanyl overdoses comes as some experts see the addiction safety net unraveling.

Swalwell: Donald Trump and Pam Bondi promised there are files. Either they are world-class bullshitters—or they’re burying files. And we need to know why, and hold accountable whoever’s helping them bury it.

Hey Marjorie Taylor Greene @mtgreenee, Retired Brigadier General Shawn Harris here. You know, the Democrat running against you. I wanted to see if you had any comments on this breaking news.

‘64 Chevy 1 ton flatbed with a hydraulic lift. Used weekly. We call it my wheelbarrow. It’s a favorite photo subject of mine.

As search and recovery missions continue in Texas, I’m incredibly grateful to our Minnesota Task Force 1 K-9 Unit for stepping up and traveling to assist our neighbors in this time of tragedy.

We know their heroic work will make a difference.

"The Constitution, of course, grants Congress no express power to strip people of their citizenship, whether, in the exercise of the implied power to regulate foreign affairs or in the exercise of any specifically granted power." - Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967).

Good morning.

Stephen Miller accuses Hakeem Jeffries and Tiffany Cross of "eliminationist rhetoric used to justify violence and assaults, a 700% increase on ICE officers." This is clearly defamation and I hope he is sued for it.

Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”

I'm just saying....

Our national parks are in trouble.

Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.

Governor Tony Evers comes to Wausau for community roundtable discussion on child care The meeting was about the end of Evers Child Care program

I heard from Wisconsinites, and they told me we had to make real investments in child care in this budget.

I'm proud our final budget includes over $360 million to support child care statewide, a third of which will provide direct payments to providers.
