Corey Booker and John Ossof voted FOR trump’s crypto bill. I keep saying it. They are opportunists. They are not Democrats.

I’m gonna be real. It makes me absolutely sick knowing President Joe Biden is battling an aggressive form of cancer while being trashed by people who claim to be his friends and allies. I’ve got a long memory—and I hope you do too. Defend the good man. And keep him and his family in your prayers.

“Hospitals go out of business when Medicare and Medicaid are cut. Period."

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Tariffs are about to hit lifesaving medical equipment "It's really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable...who need technologies to live."

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid.

“It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

HHS Systems Are in Danger of Collapsing, Workers Say The purging of IT and cybersecurity staff at the Department of Health and Human Services could threaten the systems used by the agency’s staff and the safety of critical health data.

🚨 Still not getting the attention it deserves:

Critical systems behind Medicare, Medicaid, and more—programs that serve over 150 million Americans—are at risk of collapse.

Wired article explains how mass layoffs in HHS IT + cybersecurity leave our health infrastructure dangerously exposed. 🧵

Republicans will fold faster than trump jumps on a Big Mac. They always do. On the day of the vote Johnson will AGAIN have full Republican support.

Smote it be.......

MTG? I thought that was Martha Stewart at first glance. It must be all that insider trading and stock manipulation shining on her.

Donald Trump is talking about building internment camps and openly defying orders from the Supreme Court. Why is he not being removed from office?

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Avoid US or Take Burner Devices, Canadian Executives Tell Staff Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US, marking a greater erosion in the country’s longsta...

Sure, Trump is tanking the economy, devaluing the dollar, deindustrializing America, adding trillions to the national debt, and pushing our allies straight into China’s arms...

But hey—if you're a big fan of sending US citizens to concentration camps, he's delivering for you.

Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.

As a third child in Texas has died of measles, I want everyone to know that the true cause of death is antivax disinformation.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill.

Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

A little shocking how little a story "PRESIDENT PURPOSELY CRASHES ECONOMY AND BRAGS ABOUT IT" is in America today.

Here are all the markets that hit circuit breakers today so far:

$VIX is up 14.62%.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

THIS! As loudly as I can scream it every damned day until Americans wake the fu$k up to the immediate threat.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

There is still beauty in this world

Elon’s right-leaning AI, Grok, assesses there’s an 85% probability that Trump is a Putin-compromised asset. (Now do Elon Musk.)
