Yep. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Emergency medical treatment. But that little fact is unimportant to McDonOld and the MAGA cult.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

IT WAS ALL STAGED. IT WAS FAKE except for the one guy killed accidentally or maybe not, and then they killed the fake shooter. The shooter was not the person they said was the shooter. This entire thing was a sham.

There's no end to his lies.

ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

Saying our cities are in chaos - when they're manifestly not - is pure Nazi propaganda. Calling on the military to turn against their own citizens is blatantly unconstitutional -- and more Nazi propaganda.
This "barbarians are at the gates!" routine is exactly what Hitler used to consolidate power.

Impressive work by Biden to control the FBI while Trump was President.

I'll merely note that today, like all days, is a great day to stop posting on Twitter, a platform whose owner force feeds this slop into people's brains with an algorithm designed to boost his views and trample yours.

Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

We are forgetting very fast

The “party of fiscal responsibility” has devolved to screwing the country so billionaires can have more money.

Nothing radical about it.
