It can be difficult to get real news in the US given that all US media is owned by oligarchs. Here is a link to an article that The Guardian did. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Rachel Maddow has done a great job of outlining all of the protest that have arisen all over the country against the dreadful shooting of an American citizen in Minneapolis. In a normal world all of these demonstrations would have an effect. Trump could care less about Americans so it will not.

Wow! The Trump administration thinks that it has a right to take Greenland with force. This is antithetical to all international law and our own membership in NATO. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

The excuse for invading Veneuzela was guns and drugs. None of that is truly the goal it was alwasy about oil. What excuse will be used when Trump invades Greenland?

The Trump administration wants to increase the retirement age. That is not going to work out very well of many that are in the 50 to 60 year range. What needs to be done is to remove the cap and start taxing investment income. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

I'm starting to wonder if Trump is capable of telling the truth. He lies about things that everyone can check to see that he is lying. Either he is pathological or demented. Take your pick.

No, we deserve what all indutrialized nations on earth already have which is universal healthcare. All those other nations pay less per capita then the US. We are also the only nation on earth where the main cause of bankruptcy is medical debit. Our insurance profit based system is designed to kill

The Republicans have ensured that there will be ACA subsidies. This means that people's health insurance costs will skyrocket. Many will have to forego insurance. This will end up killing people. Democrats MUST be extremely vocal about who did this and why people cannot afford insurance.

This "plan" for healthcare would send money directly to Americans to pay for healthcare. Insurance companies would no longer be paid. This seems like a faster way to impoverish us with no ability to negotiate.
