57% of the hospitals in Nebraska are critical access hospitals that are funded by Medicare and Medicaid. Without that funding, rural Nebraskans--WHETHER THEY ARE ON MEDICARE/MEDICAID OR NOT---won't have anyplace to go for medical care.

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.”

One of my students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has had his entire scholarship package rescinded by DOGE, who wrote our school and said that it had to return the funds because the scholarship was "illegal." My guy worked his butt off in h.s. only for Elon to play in his face? I am FURIOUS.

If you’re in a red state, call your senators and tell them you’re concerned about how weak Musk is making the president look.

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit.

The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

Meet the insurrectionist rejecting Trump’s pardon Taking a pardon, Pam Hemphill told Mother Jones, "would be a slap in the face to the Capitol Police, the rule of law, and to our nation."

One of the crappy parts of social media has to be rooting for Connor Lamb for a year, getting called a corporate Dem shill, and then smiling and nodding along as people get all upsetty-spaghetti when they see Fetterman go the way of the Gabbard.

Kash Patel Believes the FBI Planned Jan. 6th His embrace of this wild conspiracy theory should disqualify him from leading the bureau.

Kash Patel's blaming of his own potential agency for January 6th "undermines his ability to win the trust of those who make up the FBI. Given the bureau’s central role in protecting us all, the risk of dysfunction is unacceptable."

The coming 4 years are the next phase of Trump’s Big Lie.

All the tools of the U.S. government applied to rewriting his history of crime and deadly ineptitude.

All this happened.

He cannot change it.
