"You tell me who is at fault if something is not in place? Not Republicans. We have a deal and a plan" - they have no deal, and at best they have concepts of a plan. They control the majority in both chambers; of they had a deal and a plan they could vote and pass.
Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing. Republicans can’t figure out what to do.
GOP lawmakers knew subsidies were expiring and premiums would spike, but no clear, conservative alternative emerged.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Extremists always shelter in the 'there are no facts, there are only opinions' and 'all opinions are valid'.

Bullsh*t - RFK jr is not a member of the medical field. Your opinion that he is isn't as valid as the fact that he's not. You're just wrong.

And people should know that about you.

The US-left has been screaming that RFK Jr hasn't a scientific bkgd to base anything he's done since covid; MA has been screaming about him for 20 yrs.

If you still think RFK Jr is inside the medical field, you _are_ a doofus, and I'll call you one; if you act like a nazi I'll call you one.

This is a great example of what not do to when you write a headline—especially a cover story.

This is irresponsible. He is not in science he’s against science. He’s killing people because he is so AGAINST science.

Press—do better. Do not repeat their messaging. Do not repeat the lies.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

This is a wonderful time to support journalists who do the work, don’t fuck sources, and actually have moral clarity.
i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards.

Your periodic reminder that @radiofreetom.bsky.social who many of you like to follow, and who writes for the Atlantic, was pushing the great replacement theory before Trump and has never apologized for it. He's part of what got us here.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

Raskin: "The DOJ hasn't released any of these emails that mention Trump's name & identify his role in all these activities. Those came from the Epstein estate. So this is a demonstration the govt is deliberately withholding the info everybody is actually looking for & could be damaging to Trump"

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

This is the kind of thing that will make ATCs strike, quit, or sabotage.
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

Schumer's proposal was a gift to Republicans; would've funded the govt past the Nov 2026; the issues of funding for healthcare and food wouldn't've been a leading issue in the election.

They still turned it down.
