🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania MAGA Congressman Ryan Mackenzie cast the deciding vote to gut Medicaid so billionaires could get tax cuts.
Now it’s backfiring - his race is officially the closest in America.

Trump and Ryan Mackenzie promised to fight for working Americans. Now they’re pushing the "Big Beautiful Bill," slashing Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the country's richest people who had VIP seats on day one at the inauguration.
The biggest bait and switch in history.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

Journalist accidentally added into White House Yemen war planning group chat
Senior Trump cabinet members copied Atlantic journalist into chat used to discuss secret strikes against Houthis
Senior members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have been involved in a serious security breach while discussing secret military plans for recent US attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen.
In an extraordinary blunder, key figures in the Trump administration – including vice-president JD Vance, defense secretary Peter Hegseth, Marco Rubio and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard – used the commercial chat app Signal to convene and discuss plans – while also including a prominent journalist in the group.
