Trump just upped his bail-out for Argentina from $20 billion to $40 billion. Argentina has government run healthcare that's available to all Argentinians.

Yet Trump has shut down the American government while trying to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

What say you, Republicans?

Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work. Shortly after 4, about 40 to 50 journalists left together after handing in badges.

Only the conservative One America News Network signed on.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

GOP group chats spilling gas‑chamber jokes? 75 years of data say the right‑wing terror problem is real, not just banter. This analysis ties the private jabs to deadly violence—wake up, folks.

And then Reagan came along

In 1994 Reagan lowered the top income tax Raye from 70% to 28%
Then he imposed the first ever tax on social security benefits to make up for it.

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Fauci never said the covid vaccine would prevent cases. The point was to pump up your immune system so you wouldn't die from contracting the virus. That's why the vulnerable (elderly) and those with a higher risk of exposure (medical staff) were the first to receive the shots.

I can’t imagine going through this as an adult, let alone as a child. 😔

Some allegations where made, he was arrested, and possessed a knife, but what does ICE have to do with that? It’s a local law enforcement issue. And what about DUE PROCESS?
