There is a new story daily about a criminal who donated $1 million to a Trump PAC for a pardon or a new business deal with a foreign govt/entity & Trump where that foreigner receives a huge benefit from the US govt. Corruption daily and Republicans turn a blind eye to all of it.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system.

Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

Dear Congressional Members:

Unless your official statement announces your immediate drafting of Articles, don't bother releasing it.

Official statements don't reflect your sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.

Official statements don't justify your existence as a co-equal branch of government.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina.

This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

As he demolishes the White House and demands $230 million from the Justice Department, yes, be angry at him. He’s a horrible human being. But be much, much, much angrier at his enablers. THEY’VE allowed him to get away with everything. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Trump’s priorities:

Bulldozing the White House ✅
Reopening the government ❌
Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building. https://wapo.st/4hl7jyF

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Why are prominent Democratic politicians, celebrities, etc hosting a tour of Portland? When he says stupid stuff, we have to actively demonstrate that he is a fool, instead of just assuming everyone knows
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

My uncontroversial opinion is that the head of the country's top public health agency should be a physician or a scientist or both not a former presidential speech writer and investor but here we are. Sadly I think this is the end of the CDC as we once knew it.
