It’s 1 am. Do you know where your health care is? (It’s under active attack inside the House Rules Committee). #Medicaid

Great question. Maybe someone should ask Podium Barbie tomorrow morning.

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

"Because unhinged, brain-addled Trump supporters are no longer limited to social media but, indeed, occupy senior administration positions, we watched in real time as this story chugged a bottle of Everclear, put on a tinfoil crown, and started demanding treason trials."

If you think sending any person from this country to a death camp without due process is OK then you are about as unAmerican as you can get. You might as well tear up that document we call the Constitution, chew it up, spit it out and then take a big crap on it because it's worthless at that point.

This administration has fired crisis counselors for our veterans and now for kids. This bullshit doesn’t make us great.

Any one of these calls could be life or death for a child. This senseless act of cruelty will kill people and they know it.

A bar chat that says "DOGE savings" with 2 trillion promised in 2024, 1 trillion promised in 2025, 150 billion in projected saving currently, and 58 billion in substantiated savings. Footnote says, "costs of loss of democracy and human health/well-being due to shortsighted idiocy are incalculable"

A bar chat that says "DOGE savings" with 2 trillion promised in 2024, 1 trillion promised in 2025, 150 billion in projected saving currently, and 58 billion in substantiated savings. Footnote says, "costs of loss of democracy and human health/well-being due to shortsighted idiocy are incalculable"

Numbers in the billions and trillions are hard to comprehend.
πŸ€“ So we made this to show:
1. How much Elon promised DOGE would save in 2024
2. His walkback in 2025
3. What he's now projecting
4. Savings itemized to a source (we're generous to call this substantiated)

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Another Rocky Day in Markets: Stocks and Bonds Sink With the S&P 500 near a bear market, shares in Europe and Asia fell as China and other major U.S. trading partners confronted significantly higher tariffs. Investors also sold U.S. bonds.

Treasury bonds are traditionally seen as a safe haven in times of economic turmoil, because they offer investors a guaranteed payment backed by the U.S. government. Instead, investors are selling the assets.

Here's what to know.

If you’re regularly eating road kill, it might be a good idea. Granny used to say possum innards are better on the second day.
