The gov shutdown is a short term distraction & temp fix for ACA subsidies. We need different leaders that can both explain & fix healthcare.

I truly believe Trump curates a list of 🐂💩 actions he can push every week to the media to distract everyone from the real issues and failures of his cabinet & while Trump’s family and friends get richer.

The same folks that complained the government was “taking their freedom away” when asked to wear a mask, are now totally fine with the government sending federal troops and with masked ICE agents arresting people without warrants.
Because…yeah…it totally makes sense.

The same idiot that recommended UV and bleach to treat COVID a few years ago is now telling pregnant women with a high fever to toughen it up and avoid Tylenol.
How he was able to get re-elected and given a second chance to lead our healthcare system is beyond me.

Not raising taxes? I think the cat is out of the bag. The administration is arguing trillions in revenues from tariffs will offset some of the deficit. Guess who will be paying those taxes. Just like VAT wouldn’t this become a consumption tax that will hit harder low income folks?

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.
The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database
Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

The DOGE story is yet to be told. Let’s remember Trump lied to of all us in the middle of a pandemic, withholding critical information he knew could save lives. If he lied then and knowing people would die, imagine what he is lying about/ trying to keep secret just for his own financial gain….
So you’re telling us the radical transparency people are against… transparency?
