I keep thinking about that Matthew Broderick ad for AI that presented it as something that could do your work for you and let you take a day off.

Yeah, man, be sure to tell your boss that AI can do all your work for you, that'll probably lead to lots and lots of time off.

keep this in mind: between Bad Bunny and Ted Cruz, only one of them was born in America. And it wasn't Ted Cruz who was born in Canada.

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.

Because of the β€œBig Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.

We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.

This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

MAGA, at the alternative Super Bowl halftime show remember to sing along to Kid Rock:

β€œYoung ladies, young ladies
I like 'em underage, see
Some say that's statutory
But I say it's mandatory”

A patriotic song about pedophilia and child rape - totally on brand!

How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx siteΒ have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRxΒ for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugsΒ for $16.65.

Ossoff: β€œThis is the Epstein class... Trump is literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros...”

I would strongly encourage Democrats to continue with this rhetorical strategy.

It really subverts the entire worldview of the MAGA right.

The corruption is staggering.
