Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Wow. Not suprising. But, wow.
WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys?

GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name

WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term

GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

I guarantee that the entirety of ICE has more past criminal charges themselves than the people they've kidnapped so far.

Yes, how about a minimum standard of living for all people, and if you can grow beyond that, good for you.

Everyone should have a roof over their heads, food on their plates, and health care they can afford.

Russia wants the EU to collapse because it’s a military rival.

It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isn’t territorial expansion, though.

So it advances the idea that the EU isn’t democratic (as if Russia was).

The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

The Supreme Court Is Failing at Its Most Important Job - NYT Editorial Board

On Monday, “the court hears a challenge to Mr. Trump’s power to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission — an action that flew in the face of a 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent.”

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.

If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin.

This SCOTUS is corrupt.

Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

You know the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)? Venerable research institution, respected worldwide?

Trump has put an oil executive in charge of it & changed its name to the "National Laboratory of the Rockies."

It's so embarrassing being American these days.
