MAGA’s Born Losers Shameful joy is still joy, right?

"Let me put this in terms that up-by-your-bootstraps, personal-responsibility Republicans will understand: The residents of Curtis, Nebraska are 'takers.' The funny part in all of this is that the people in Curtis think that they are the 'makers.'"

Absolutely! Everything, including Rose Garden, has to be restored to its historical style.

Trump has shut down the govt. Prices continue to rise. 37 million Americans could lose healthcare

And Trump is using White House resources and taxpayer funds to produce outrageous content like this.

It just reinforces so many reasons 7 million people attended 2,650 No Kings rallies yesterday

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Trump's DOJ is going after his political enemies.

The Washington Post editorial board is suddenly concerned.

But it wasn't concerned when it endorsed Pam Bondi for AG, calling her a "qualified" and "serious" pick.

Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

“America’s senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process.”

There is nothing Republican leaders are doing that even suggests they are serious about ending the shutdown or preventing your health care costs from skyrocketing—House Republicans aren't even here!
