How 10-minute procedures and routine scans become five-figure medical bills Health care prices are on the rise, and patients are flummoxed that even insurance companies aren’t doing more to control costs.

Medical inflation has steadily outpaced general inflation for years, with bills for many brief, routine procedures reaching tens of thousands of dollars. Patients are flummoxed that insurance companies aren’t doing more to control costs.

The war in Iran is already hugely expensive Aircraft carriers and stealth bombers are expensive to use.

Trump quite clearly views the military, as Kurt Vonnegut once said, β€œlike toys a rich kid got for Christmas.” And it turns out that sending carriers to turn donuts in the Persian Gulf while destabilizing another Middle Eastern nation for no reason is not cheap.

Trump doesn’t think the rich should pay anything. They shoukd just steal and defraud the little guy.

ProPublica has made public ~3,200 disclosure records that reveal financial ties between senior government officials & the industries they help regulate. The disclosures detail the finances of >1,500 federal officials appointed by Trump. Records for Trump & Vance are also included.

My God. How I miss the class, integrity, LOVE and devotion the Obamas brought to the White House and our Country.

The Way We Should Still Be.

Really odd how much the Trump Admin lies on the regular. Especially about ICE actions,

Trump is the number one National Security risk to America in the World. Providing Putin with our Top Secret Classified intelligence is nothing new. He is doing it again and every single GOP member on Capitol Hill is aiding and abetting his treason. I believe the penalty in a Court of law is death.

The trump administration and their allies are the most powerful threat to Americans' freedom of speech rights in our nation's history. The voices in the media who repeatedly told the public that Trump stands for free speech are their accomplices in tyranny

I think guilty people are trying to place blame elsewhere

Trump's Iran War Is Built on Lies and Fantasies Donald Trump has no clear objective in mind, let alone a plan to achieve an endgame in Iran. What is America even doing by attacking the nation?

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump in Jan. 6 case gets life sentence for child sex crimes Andrew Paul Johnson, authorities said, tried to keep one of his victims mum by floating the promise of money he was expecting to receive from the Justice Department.

A Jan. 6 defendant pardoned by President Trump for his role in the Capitol attack has been sentenced to life in prison for child molestation and related crimes.

The United States of America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ used to want to defend any country from fear, trump perpetuates fear all over the world. Everyday we wake up to things we didn't think were possible. All this ends when Congress stands up and takes their power back. We can not allow fascism to consume our democracy.

Basically Witkoff just confessed that Russia IS targeting our assets news out today that the 6th that died were most likely targeted by Russia. And Trump doesn't give a damn.

We’ve been doing protests in my area every single Saturday morning throughout the winter. And I live in an extremely red area. small group.but we are out there every week. march 28th needs to be absolutely huge. Maybe Congress will take heed.

Ah, I see my previous post was justified and I shall be making no alterations. Congress best get itself in line, or congress will fine themselves in another kind of line.
