"They are possessed, like millennia of tyrants before them, of fantastic dreams: they will live forever, they will go to Mars. None of that will happen; they will die here on Earth, with the rest of us, their only legacy, if we let it happen, one of ruins. They are god-level brainrotted." Tim Snyder

It seems some are under the impression that the war continues because Ukraine keeps hoping to liberate its territories, whereas it continues because Russia keeps hoping to occupy all of Ukraine.

The hospital relief fund is about taking care of hospitals that could go bankrupt from lost Medicaid dollars.
But what about the American families that could go bankrupt from lost Medicaid coverage?
Maybe we could do a low-income household health coverage relief fund. We could call it Medic-aid.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.
Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

-$3.5 billion increase to DHS
-Congress relinquish some of its tariff oversight to Trump
-DC enact immediate budget cuts
