“this mass deprivation, which we insist is bad and not our fault, is a great opportunity for us to talk about our plans for long-term mass deprivation”
Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."

predictably, the GOP-controlled Congress is totally fine with Trump ordering the government to personally pay him hundreds of millions of dollars and are defending it by suggesting that he might consider donating some of it to charity. Possibly.
Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?
MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

"Rick Scott, an expert in healthcare"
![In 2000, during a deposition for a civil suit unrelated to the fraud investigation, Scott pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times.[47] In settlements reached in 2000 and 2002, Columbia/HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and agreed to a $600+ million fine in what was at the time the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history. Columbia/HCA admitted systematically overcharging the government by claiming marketing costs as reimbursable, by striking illegal deals with home care agencies, and by filing false data about use of hospital space. It also admitted to fraudulently billing Medicare and other health programs by inflating the seriousness of diagnoses and to giving doctors partnerships in company hospitals as a kickback for the doctors referring patients to HCA. It filed false cost reports, fraudulently billed Medicare for home health care workers, and paid kickbacks in the sale of home health agencies and to doctors to refer patients. In addition, it gave doctors "loans" never intending to be repaid, free rent, free office furniture, and free drugs from hospital pharmacies.[48][8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:svawqo4jxobyyuqmixplvcux/bafkreig4ub64b7igh7qhjq6rq63xd3egwmbgwseji4v53xtf4uj7e4m7oe@jpeg)

THUNE: These premiums are going up a little bit b/c of the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

T: I'm just saying only a small part of that is attributable to the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

Trump controls the White House, the Supreme Court and Congress. The only thing he doesn't control is public opinion. That's why the Trump regime is so worried about this coming Saturday's "No Kings" protests – so worried that it's blatantly lying about "No Kings" and showing itself to be pro-king.
