“Trump’s family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal— netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His ‘diplomatic trips’ are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.” @rbreich.bsky.social

Nurses save lives every single day, and now the Dept. of Education wants to make their degrees harder to afford. In the middle of a national shortage. It makes ZERO sense.
I work beside these heroes. I see what they give. And I’m not staying quiet while Washington makes their path even harder.

JD Vance — begs folks to be patient with an economy he admits is bad. Trump — brags it’s the greatest ever.
I’ve said it so many times, Republicans stay synced and on message even when the message is a lie, but this slip tells a story.
There’s chaos behind the scenes and the wheels are coming off.

You mean the 80% of children that will live past age 5. W/out vaccines, 20% die by age 5.
Do we arrest the parents? They will literally be killing their children.
If a woman can be jailed for endangering a fetus, why shouldn’t a parent who kills their kid by not vaccinating them get arrested?

Another example: When Chad Boseman was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, his 5 yr survival was <14%: he died in 2020. Today his 5 yr survival would be >55%. So tragic.

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.
