The nurses are pissed

When Mamie Till was on the stand during the trial of her son's murderers in 1955, the defense argued she had misidentified her son's body, was lying in order to claim insurance money for her son, & had staged the whole affair with the aid of Communists & the NAACP. Tills murderers walked free.

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

A tweet stating Trump denied saying something he said on camera five days earlier, then attacked the reporter who repeated his own words. The image is Trump at a meeting table, looking annoyed and turning his head to the side.

Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

Honestly, I thought the century-old military code of ethics would hold up longer against a drunk former Fox News weekend anchor.

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

Yea, I’m not waiting on this supposed GOP health care plan.

The truth is Republicans have had TWO DECADES to produce a bill to lower health care costs and protect care.
