Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Do Elmo & The DOGE Bags have anything to say about the cost of those giant Trump banners in DC?
May 17, 2025 at 2:17 AM
NOW, I fully understand.

Trump taking a $400M bribe in the form of a “flying palace” from a Middle East monarchy will definitely bring down the cost of groceries and make everyday life more affordable and more comfortable for average Americans.

The Cardinals, from all over the world, took way less time picking a Pope than US Republicans take to settle on a Speaker of the House.

Prediction: Trump takes credit for the American Pope.

🚨 Trump’s massive tariffs on nearly all imports into the U.S. are now in effect. This is one of the biggest tax increases on Americans in the history of the United States.

When Trump claims the U.S. will receive $1 trillion in revenue from tariffs, that is not money coming from other countries.

That is $1 trillion is coming out of YOUR pocket.

Okay, listen…if there is one thing DJT and MAGA have made clear the last 9 or 10 years, it’s that decorum is for weak losers.
So stop your crying over words. It was a joke. Get over it. Damn.

Elon Musk is a defective, unstable human, incapable of loving or accepting his trans child.
This is his motivation for all of what’s going on. The rest, DOGE, all of it, is a smokescreen. We are living through a multi-billionaire temper tantrum. He is enraged by his fear and hate.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families.

Has there been anyone in the last 100 years more overrated than Elon Musk?

Remember when Trump called 30,000 a “sacred number” for the Dow Jones?
Evidently he meant and wants to get back there.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Exaggerations, half-truths and a ton of outright lies. All of the expected false bravado, folded into whining.

And yet, the most striking thing is that it’s boring. So boring.

Lines are drawn. The European Union and our historic allies and Ukraine on one side. On the other, Putin’s Russia and the United States.

We are the actual bad guys.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

If “e pluribus unum” were proposed as the national motto of the USA today, it would be widely attacked as a “woke, DEI” motto.

The CFPB will begin deleting agency data as soon as today. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and Musk staffers are rewriting history on U.S. government websites and erasing data from databases nationwide—removing information that doesn’t align with their political agenda.
