so saw a yahoo news headline earlier this morning. Supposedly, if true, the Orange King is not running in 2028, so the GOP is rallying already around J D dum dum Vance. Trump has ruined the country so bad he's tired. I mean how many vids of the idiot have we seen with him sleeping on the job.

The Trump admin is gearing up to use AI to delay and deny Medicare benefits for seniors. This is outrageous and should be a national scandal.
We’re talking about a backdoor effort to privatize Traditional Medicare and cut benefits. I introduced legislation to stop it.

This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.

If Trump wasn't wrecking the economy with his stupid tariffs, farmers wouldn't need a bailout in the first place.
Oh and what's the GOP plan for all the farmers who get health care through the ACA whose premiums are skyrocketing?
Right, there is NO PLAN.

Washington Republicans are demanding a "9–0 map." That’s not democracy - that’s cheating. They know it, and they’re ashamed, which is why they’re hesitating.

When it comes to saving the ACA tax credits, we are way past the deadline—we are in overtime.
Republicans need to understand that it’s literally NOW or NEVER to stop the premium hikes families face next year.
If they refuse by running out the clock, they're choosing NEVER.

This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.

The hard truth is that right now, our Secretary of Health is one of our nation’s biggest health threats and largest sources of health disinformation.
Realistically, we need RFK Jr. to be FIRED. At a minimum, he needs to answer to Congress for his attacks on public health.
