This keep Christ in Christmas lie pisses me off. No one stole Christmas. No one stopped saying Merry Christmas. The Obamas and Bidens attended church - every week. Trump never attends church.

Trump freed a guy who ran a firm that took $2 billion from Americans seeking to increase their portfolios for retirement -even as its executives used the money to fund lavish lifestyles.

Trump freeing him is a bitter pill for folks trying to get back their money.

Make America Healthy Again. Really?

Double ACA premiums. Kick 15 million off health care. Undermine lifesaving vaccines and spark disease outbreaks.

The Trump administration is endangering the health of the American people.
The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

“Instead of telling patients ‘I don’t know what’s wrong,’ we should be saying, ‘This meets the criteria for Long Covid.’”

Although the info isn’t groundbreaking, hope looks like the AAMA educating medical assistants on what Long Covid is.

Plus offering CEUs.

My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word.

And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it.

Like any reporter.

1/ Collective punishment of tens of thousands of vetted Afghan partners won’t prevent radicalization. But it will guarantee fewer allies, more enemies, and higher risks for U.S. troops the next time we deploy.

The alleged shooting by an Afghan ‘partner’ shouldn’t condemn all who assisted the U.S. and now live here.

Trump says Saudi Arabia is giving us a trillion dollars. Saudi Arabia has approximately $1.15 trillion in assets. Saudi’s foreign exchange reserves stood at about 1,665.26 billion

So how can they be paying us a TRILLION bucks. Can Trump be lying?
