In 2026—and it’s almost 2026—health insurance costs will be so brutal that even healthcare workers won’t be able to afford it.
When the people saving lives can’t afford to save their own, the system isn’t just broken — it’s WRONG!

The ICE acting director has no power over a CHURCH. Or free speech. In fact, no one in the government does—that’s the point of the First Amendment. Good grief.
ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

Democrat Eileen Higgins won today's Miami mayoral race. She will be the first woman to be mayor of Miami. This election result ends nearly 30 years of GOP control. The recent Democratic momentum shows that Trump's treasonous policies are extremely unpopular. This kind of news is a beacon of hope.

The next person I hear complain about poor people buying junk food is going to get an earful from me. I just visited the grocery store (one with good prices) and spent a ridiculous amount of money buying healthy food (none of which was meat). The junk food is cheaper and lasts longer.

How on earth does Trump justify pardoning this man while Trump’s military is killing people in boats suspected of carrying drugs in the Caribbean???

Total bs. What did they think would happen to the survivors hanging on to the wreckage when the Navy obliterated it? I am pretty sure they are legally obligated to try to help people floating in the freakin water.
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.
"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."

I can think of some other terms for “trump republicans”, but they would probably get me put in BlueSky jail (or worse).
