Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid.

Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Trump said that if Russia was in the G8 the war with Ukraine would never have started.

Russia was removed from the G8 because it invaded Ukraine.

I know you know that. But the President of the United States doesn’t seem to know that.

Which is both typical and terrifying.

We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

Johnny Mathis Live - Misty (Jan 18th, 2025)
YouTube video by Eric Matthews Johnny Mathis Live - Misty (Jan 18th, 2025)

β€œLook at me” - Johnny Mathis singing a standard romantic ballad several weeks ago - a slow dance number - worth a listen - so dignified, note perfect, the tremolo in his voice. and the watery eyes now less prominent - give it a hearing - youtu.be/z6WPZtXsoDI?...

In our entire history only one President got our credit downgraded in both his terms AND got us added to the Human Rights Watch List.

Jobs are coming to Oklahoma β€”but so is a tidal wave of toxic waste.

Emirates Global Aluminum is investing $4 bill to build a massive aluminum smelting facility. But the production process generates β€œred mud,” a corrosive byproduct that can cause severe environmental damage.

A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!

Trump cut global food aid, now enough rations to feed 3.5 million people are rotting in warehouses. People are starving, but this man’s legacy will be cruelty in bulk.

Hadn't heard this. I guess the media has other things they prefer to cover.

He's always been a little too sleazy and Hegseth-y for me. Really don't want him as the Dem nominee.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

I believe the old guard needs to pass the torch, but I'm not sure David Hogg is the best new leadership. He appears to have become too fond of the limelight over the past couple of years and seems more focused on promoting David than Democratic policies and ideology.

Rule of law is β€˜endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced β€œad hominem” criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

Trump Is Poised to Accept a Luxury 747 From Qatar for Use as Air Force One

Trump fails to understand that β€œgifts” like this are not β€œfree of charge” which is wht the Founding Fathers wrote the emoluments clause into the Constitution. Fast legal action is called for here. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...
