THIS IS BULLSHIT‼️

Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.

They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Long story short, I’ll be spending almost 7k more next year for health insurance because of Trump and Trump Republicans.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Because in the 47 regime, profits matter.

People do not.

To put a finer point on that, your right to keep toxic crap out of your body doesn't stand a chance against giving billionaires more money.

Are you OK with that? No? Who cares - you're not a billionaire!

Meet Fadi and Jumaa Tamer Abu Asi, two brothers ages 8 and 10 who crossed Israel's "yellow line" as they gathered firewood for their injured father in Bani Suheila, Khan Younis. Israel deemed these children a "threat" and killed them in a drone attack.

Is this the ceasefire of which we speak?

And it goes on.

The man is completely unraveling.

Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

This isn’t law and order.

It’s the most lawless presidency in American history.👇

Hegseth’s foolish threat to investigate Sen. Mark Kelly for urging military to refuse illegal orders is more sickening in light of his illegal order to “kill everyone” after two wounded men survived his first military strike. Hegseth must be held accountable.

Secretary Kennedy has spent his time in office spreading doubt about vaccines. Now measles is back.

@warnock.senate.gov is giving us an important #CupOfJoe! RFK Jr. is a threat to our health & must be fired immediately.

If there is any justice in the world Susan Collins will suffer a humiliating loss in Nov
There was a brief stretch in 2017 when Susan Collins had a habit of running to reporters to distance herself from this sort of embarrassing misogyny.

But that was a long time ago. And as Greeley suggests, the shift is symptomatic of Collins broader acquiescence to Trump and Trumpism. #MEpolitics

📌Pete Hegseth ordered our military to "kill everybody" on a damn boat carrying 11 people. The tiny vessel was repeatedly struck by our military, who have leaked Hegseth's barbaric order to the WaPo.

📌Related: Six politicians reminded our military not to follow grotesque, illegal orders like these.

I know someone who seems very sick but refuses to go to the hospital until her Medi-Cal approval comes thru. She cannot afford insurance. I told her they cannot turn her away, but she's too frightened of the bill if she's admitted, which she most certainly would be. Our country is so fucked up.

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.
