Employers who want to have a larger profit margin by having their employees' lives subsidized by the federal government through SNAP and Medicaid.

Isn't this a big part of Walmart's business model?

My question is why is he reclusive? Is he connected to Epstein? Was this a payoff to have the DOJ sanitize the files of his name? $130M is a lot of money.

Just asking questions…

sure, but he’s also a very old man who is barely holding it together.

And he has a built in base that will be with HIM forever. But only HIM.

And he is a narcissist who will NEVER share the spotlight or set up a successor to take the reigns.

US refiners cannot readily replace Canadian oil: AFPM | Latest Market News US refiners that process Canadian crude would not easily find alternative supplies if president-elect Donald Trump follows through on his tariff plans, potentially threatening the viability of some fu...

Yes. And the US can’t easily switch to alternative sources of oil since many refineries are designed to process heavy crude from Canada.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Correct. Because the people impacted are predominantly of Native American heritage.

They only care about whiten people openly support Trump.

Everyone else is scum to them.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Thank goodness for the Wayback Machine!

U.S. measles cases continue to climb, with outbreaks across the country In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

Thanks a bunch, you anti-vaxxer dipshit fucks.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

South Park did a pretty good job of explaining the “training” process.

I think someone has a crush on Bad Bunny!

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis ) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Narrator: This is fascism.

Everyone who is against this fascism needs to resist the urge to use violence against Federal troops. That is what they want.

Civil rights protestors in the 60’s were effective because their tactics highlighted the evil of the police who used excessive force.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Federal law requires hospitals with emergency rooms to treat anyone who shows up at the door regardless of ability to pay. They are not allowed to deny care for any reason.

Many hospitals therefore lose money on ER care. Fed funding closes the gap.

If funding is cut ERs will close.

Re: Undocumented people “getting free healthcare”

It’s more like “Hospitals are paid w FEDERAL 💰 for keeping them alive when they show up to an ER for lifesaving care.”

It’s the HOSPITALS that get paid, not the undocumented people. Bc they have to/should follow FEDERAL EMTALA laws.

Also, why should anyone care about farmers whose livelihood depends on growing animal feed for export?

Isn‘t the entire rationale for farm subsides and bailouts to ensure a stable food supply for Americans?

Why on earth would we bail out farmers who grow food for foreign markets?

It’s the rationale for farm subsidies and bailouts to preserve the US domestic food supply?
