When the world stops trusting your money, the fall comes fast.

• Massive debt & reckless spending are shaking investor confidence
• Foreign banks are quietly moving away from the dollar
• Countries are trading in other currencies—dedollarization is real

The US dollar’s dominance isn’t guaranteed.

REPUBLICAN Rep. @repchiproy is rightly APPALLED that hagerty & @marshablackburn and others snuck a provision to let senators sue taxpayers for $500,000 MINIMUM for being investigated as part of Trump’s insurrection into the government funding bill.

Insane corruption.

Last week, Medicaid admin Dr. Oz posted on X, claiming that CMS audits found $1 billion of taxpayer money went to Medicaid for “illegal
immigrants.”

But, according to experts, the audits he was referring to were routine and unrelated to immigration.

The Finnish far right has been trying their damnedest to do the same for the most trusted news source in Finland, the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle).

Due to #Finland ‘s geopolitical situation, in the age of infowars that is mindboggling strategic stupidity, if not outright fifth-columnist.
A single shared source of truth is essential for a functioning democracy.

Without it you’re left with fragmentation, polarisation and a perpetual culture war where the discourse focuses on what divides us rather than what we have in common.

Average healthcare costs in the US:

It’s never been about the law.
