Reading this to unsuspecting people should be a TikTok meme.

There’s no money to make healthcare free or more affordable, but there’s money to give $40B to Argentina, $350M for a trashy ballroom, $172M on private jets, millions of dollars for golf trips and lavish dinners and $12B to pay back “farmers” (creditors). Funny how that works.

I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t! Interviewer Dasha Burns allowed the president to tell lie after lie, and also failed to push back on his racism. So here is a rebuttal from Zeteo.

“Politico FIFA-ed Trump into giving them an interview. Having flattered Trump into an interview, Politico then flattered him with a series of softball questions.”

"The Muslim community was there for us in November, and while I'm president, I'm going to be there for you" — Trump, at the White House Iftar, in May

"Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With the little [makes a noise]. With her little turban." — Trump, today

Republicans Want You to Pay More for Healthcare Instead of renewing subsidies for people on Obamacare insurance plans, Republicans want them to give them a savings account while jacking up their costs.

Opinion | Arizona attorney general: We're doing our part to fight drugs at the border. But the Trump administration has backed off. Kris Mayes: My state is at the front lines in a drug crisis. Yet federal efforts to fight drug and human trafficking are declining.

Trump is pulling federal agents from drug enforcement to chase immigrants, leaving Arizona checkpoints unattended and even pardoning convicted traffickers.

@azagmayes.bsky.social is right: this is making families across America less safe.

This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
