Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
