Where is Congress? Writing another strongly worded letter while the enshittification of the once great, never to be great again, American Media, I repeat, AMERICAN MEDIA, is co-opted by foreign billionaires aligned with the King’s SIL Kushner? This. Must. Not. Happen.

Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

So it’s important not to posit false equivalence here: FDA says X, other experts say Y. This stages the story as a disagreement between experts. This is not the case. This entire year has been a sustained attack on vaccines. This is the story.

I get the importance of SNAP. But I don’t think some of you understand how bad the healthcare crisis is.
Funneling even more profit to major payers should be a crime against humanity.
“For profit healthcare” should NEVER exist.

If your government sends a $40B "gift" to another country while refusing to feed its own children, you need another government. There's nothing wrong with foreign aid (in most cases); but there is something wrong with letting kids and veterans go hungry while sending it.

It’s about many things. Anyone who ever glanced at Project 2025 knows it’s not just about the economy (no offense). They’re deliberately trying to crash the economy. They want people so desperate to survive that they’ll be too tired to pay attention to Republicans robbing us blind.
