If the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, approximately 339,100 workers will lose their jobs - and as a result of the job losses, state and local tax revenues will decline by $2.5 billion. This could lead to cuts to public education.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

godamnit how about just get the vaccine and NOT explore new treatments which I assume is a 12 eyes of newt mixed with 3 fingers of moonshine highball with a leaded gasoline chaser
Measles was completely eradicated in the United States by the MMR vaccine. It is not possible for anything to be better than that. It is journalistic malpractice to present this as anything other than stupidity, lies, and outright fraud.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

I have a theory that Trump wrote a paper in business school about how tariffs are good for a national economy, got a bad grade because that argument is wrong (maybe from a woman professor), and is spending the rest of his life trying to prove he was right.

On a 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk boasted that Tesla had bagged “over 1 million” Cybertruck reservations and that “demand is off the charts.”

So why has the company still sold less than 50,000 trucks since customer deliveries began 14 months ago?
‘Over 1 Million’ People Wanted a Cybertruck. Where Are They?
“Demand is off the charts!” Elon Musk crowed at the end of 2023, citing more than a million reservations for Tesla's polarizing polygonic pickup—so why has it still sold less than 50,000?

Update 🧵: So we finally got official guidance on the whole “needing to prove identity in person” thing today. No, we do not need everybody that receives benefits to come to the office en masse. So let’s talk about who will have to come in person to the local office. 1/?

I mean sure put it that way and they sound horrid. Oh right they are horrid.
Trump is a conman, rapist, sociopath and fraud. JFK Jr is dead. RFK Jr.'s disturbed in the head. Oz is a quack. Bondi's a hack. Flynn's a traitor. Patel's a hater. Vance is odd. Hegseth's a sod. Gabbard's a spy, Putin's her guy. Homan's a weasel. Musk is a measel. And DeJoy still deserves deJail.

And the secretary of defense putting “judge” in scare quotes is, to say the least, un-American
Hegseth using “she/they” as an insult just boosts Judge Reyes’ conclusion that the transgender ban is based on animus, not a genuine concern for military preparedness.

when you absolutely positively need to tell the world you're ok with fascism send in these dopes
Schumer and Gillibrand are abdicating Dems' last point of leverage hoping that Trump/Musk will self-implode and voters will punish the GOP in the midterms.

They fail to grasp that if they don't stop Elon's impoundment crimes now, there likely won't be free and fair elections in 2026.
