Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Project 2025 described Medicare and Medicaid as “runaway entitlements” in desperate need of “reform.”

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans.
You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government.
With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

We can argue over whether individuals or politicians are better stewards of capital.
I think the goal should be for politicians to try to efficiently collect and handle what a country needs to support those most in need, so they can live their lives in a meaningful way.
