Mike Johnson just name one concrete step you and the republicans would do to bing down the cost of healthcare. Why can’t the MSM ask that simple question over and over again

So the no kings rallies were great but it has been stated that to overthrow the trump regime were would need an average of 12 million people out the streets on an almost daily basis for the foreseeable future. Sorry but we’re are barely half way there in numbers and 4x a year won’t cut it

There was a time when I would have thought this disqualifying. Trump and MAGA make me think this guy might just have the balls we need to save our democracy

I’ve taken up Kareoke to stop rumination on the state of the nation. It’s a great way to learn the actual lyrics of songs the funny thing is my idea of the words sometimes is better than the actual words. Distress and get a hobby!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes - NBC News

All I can say is MTG is carving out an independent streak from MAGA that is quite refreshing. First it was the Epstein files now the ACA subsidies. Keep being an example to the feckless reps

I went to the paramount + site to cancel my subscription and they offered my two free months. I took it. I’m a sucker for a deal what can I say. But I have a reminder in my phone to cancel in 60 days. With trump tariffs and inflation rampant I’ll take the freebies

I’m going to go out on a limb here and make two predictions: the president will invoke the insurrection act in the next 60 days if not sooner, and China will invade Taiwan while trump steps aside probably with in the next 6 months to a year. What do you think?

Let’s give the devil his due. Trump has bibi in a trick bag. I never thought I would say it but this is a moment where bibi has no good options for his own political survival. Makes me very happy. After all that is all he ever cared about

Simply put ANYONE WHO PRESENTS THEM SELVES TO THE ER WITH LIFE TREATING ISSUES WILL GET TREATMENT WITHOUT REGARD TO ABILITY TO PAY. that is the law. Anyone period. The federal government provides some reimbursement to hospitals to cover this care otherwise the hospitals would go bankrupt. That’s it
The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Seems like those “strongly worded letters” aren’t helping in reigning in trumps hateful speech
Remember when calling people “deplorables” was outrageous and over-the-top?

You all realize all the republicans have to do is have a simple majority vote in the senate to repeal the filibuster then a simple majority vote to pass the cr. They own the shut down it is totally in their power to stop it right now with no dem votes? Why won’t they do it? Why? Hummmmm?

I’m going to make a prediction that I hate to say. But the poor democratic “leadership” we currently have give me very little confidence. The democrats will fold in two weeks! I do hope I’m wrong but Jeffries and Schumer simply don’t have what it takes to play sustained hard ball

What happened to “America First?”
We taxpayers can thank Jared Kushner for threatening a Quatar blockade and having them capitulate to his demand to pay off his $1.4B in real estate debts for this one.

Yay nepotistic kleptocracy.

Let’s be totally clear the republicans can eliminate the filibuster with a simple majority vote in the senate and pass their CR. So the shut down is totally on them

Slow walking or outright not swearing in duly elected members of Congress will be part of the rigged 2026 elections. This is a preview of what awaits us. AND THE DNC IS DOING NOTHING TO FIGHT THIS. WE ARE SO FUCKED!
Gee, I wonder why?

This is exactly the kind of “sustained messaging” the Dems need to engage in EVERY DAY! Make this a web site and Bill boards that are updated in real time. Call it the trump coffee tariff tracker
How is this sustainable?
