“President Obama is not getting paid royalties for Obamacare,” Tapper said flatly in an Instagram video posted Monday, addressing the screenshots Trump blasted out on Truth Social the day before. “It’s not true. There’s no truth to it. It’s insane.”
Jake Tapper Roasts Trump for Getting Duped by Satire: 'Stupid People Don’t Know How Stupid They Are'
CNN’s Jake Tapper didn’t hold back after Donald Trump once again proved he’ll believe just about anything that flatters his worldview — this time, a story from an explicitly satirical website claiming Barack Obama was collecting “royalties” from Obamacare.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Today, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi announced that she will not seek reelection and is retiring at the end of her term.
From her time working with Harvey Milk in San Francisco to her tenure as the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is the definition of a champion for equality.

🔥🔥🔥🔥 My SNAP balance is $2.42. CRUELTY is the point. By saying He’s going to partially fund. That’s sadism. The ICE raids are sadism. He’s torturing, starving, terrorizing ALL Americans. Completely void of empathy. An empty old man with dead eyes. Don’t give up.

We are not at $2 for gasoline. We are just above $3 average for gasoline, which is roughly where it was when Trump took office in January.

Zohran Mamdani was the first NYC mayoral candidate to win more than one million votes since John Lindsay in 1969. Plus Zohran won 70% of voters under 45. Yes 70%! Yet we see some trying to gaslight us into saying Zohran did not win a mandate. What Zohran did is what a mandate looks like!

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

The GOP is not a political party – it's an organized crime syndicate.
Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

Once upon a time, the richest Americans worried that if conditions got bad enough all the poors might just rise up against them, and so they avoided getting *too* obvious with their exploitation.

Perhaps major media outlets should pay attention to what happened tonight and recognize that bending the knee to Trump or pandering to a MAGA audience they’ll never win over is not the path forward, morally, journalistically or financially.
