Rick Scott is astoundingly crooked
"I love that Rick Scott is on CNN talking about all the waste and deception in the health care/insurance business. He really is an expert since his company paid a record $1.7 billion in fines for Medicare fraud."

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Susie Wiles was “aghast” Elon Musk dismantled USAID. She KNEW it was doing great work
And though-per Wiles-Trump knew nothing about the program; the decision was Musk’s
She didn’t lift a finger to stop him
Now millions of people-including 4.5 million children-could die
Wiles is as evil as Trump

It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year.
May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing.
May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured.
And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

"Hundreds of thousands have died, with the toll mounting every day, because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population."
