Over 20 million Americans are about to see their health insurance rates skyrocket.

Instead of addressing that, the House GOP is going home for the holidays.

Just so happens they won't be in town to answer tough questions about the Epstein files, either.
House Republicans call early Christmas break before Epstein files release
Under a recently signed federal law, the Justice Department had a Friday deadline to release materials concerning Epstei

It's impossible to understand how anyone could reasonably need (or, really, deserve) to earn this much money. Anything more than a couple of million a year is just ridiculous.

No one is really "earning" that — even if they're overseeing massive success, it's the workers making it happen.

The Institute for Policy Studies analyzed the 100 companies in the S&P 500 with the lowest median pay & found that overall CEO compensation increased nearly 35% over five yrs, outpacing employees' gains.

At those 100 companies,the average CEO-to-worker pay gaphit 632 to 1 last yr.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.”

But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.

If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.
