Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states.
We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases.
The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.
In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

I like this. The broligarchs won’t be happy until they own the entire world and everyone in it. But… remember, we outnumber them.

Well stated, Patton.
This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
