Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

Front page of the NY Times says it all. Trump hands out hundreds of billions in tax cuts to corporations and wealthy investors and tells states to stop providing full food stamp benefits to low-income families. Plutocracy in action. Thanks, Trump voters.

More reckless right-wing nuttery that comes from years of Republicans and conservatives promoting paranoia and Deep State conspiracism.
Right-wing accounts on X have been spreading a baseless conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting the J6 pipe bombs.
Amid all that, Ed Martin posted a thread that spelled out “P I P E ?”
He later deleted some of the tweets and then posted this on his DOJ account:

This is what authoritarian regimes do to cover their tracks.
DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.
