Republicans are willing to shut down the government to:
❌ Cut Medicaid
❌ Hike premiums
❌ Slash Medicare
✅ Protect billionaires
This isn’t governing. It’s sabotage. #GOPShutdown

Stephen Crazy Eyes Miller and Russell Vought - the actual dark deep State.
While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

This Korean worker raid seems like it might turn out to be a major turning point in the US economy — and the astounding thing is it’s not clear anyone senior in government approved it? At the very least: There appear to be no consequences for the people who launched it.
They thought they were the kind of highly skilled engineers who could help fulfill President Trump’s goal of reviving American manufacturing.

Health insurance costs are about to rise by a record amount.
This is happening after the seven largest publicly traded health insurance companies reported a combined $71 BILLION in profits in 2024.
Instead of addressing this, Trump is spreading misinformation about Tylenol.
