What Fox is not telling its followers, but Semafor has reported: Trump put this money in a private bank account in Qatar. Perfectly normal, right?

🚨EXPOSED: MAGA Rep. Rob Bresnahan pushed AI data centers AT THE SAME TIME he invested in supplier stock that jumped 109%.
He also dumped $130K in Medicaid-linked stock as he voted to slash trillions from Medicaid.
He’s profiting on suffering and it needs attention. SHAME HIM.

Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders
Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives
"Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."
