"The D.C. occupation is a totalitarian threat indicative of Trump’s wider ambition to militarize American cities and a distraction from Trump’s colossal failures (e.g., inflation, Ukraine, cutting healthcare to pay for billionaires’ tax cuts, the Jeffrey Epstein files coverup)."

~ Jennifer Rubin

Someday, when we get a full forensic accounting of the criming, it's going to take our breath away.

Trump pushed major change to Medicare after $5 million donation to MAGA, Inc: report

"Today Trump is fully unbridled. Yet, for the first time, finds himself unable to convince majorities that he’s got a magic economic touch. As the situation deteriorates, he’ll have to either reverse course—changing pretty much everything about the way he’s governing—or else go to even greater lengths to control information and manipulate the public."

"For most of his years in office, Trump has benefitted from unearned public trust in his stewardship of the economy. It even kept him afloat in 2020, as he managed to persuade most Americans that the pandemic-induced recession was an act of god, rather than a crisis he exacerbated through deceit and incompetence."

"And think of how many times he promised not to cut Medicare or Medicaid, then bullied Republican members of Congress into passing a budget that takes $1 trillion from Medicaid, threatening to deny millions of Americans access to health care and force rural hospitals to close. Meanwhile, cuts to nutrition programs threaten rural grocery stores."

"Trump campaigned as if he had a foolproof plan to reduce grocery prices on day one, but in fact, grocery prices are up 3 percent year-over-year and reached record highs in 2025. In an example of classic Trump gaslighting, he’s telling people the bald-faced lie that prices are 'WAY DOWN.'"

There's a clip of Biden's final state of the union address, where he mentioned "there are republicans who want to cut Medicare and Medicaid"

Republicans booed, MTG stood up and yelled 'liar', Sen Mike Lee stood up shaking his head 'no'.

Every single one of them voted to cut Medicare and Medicaid.

Sage advice, assuming they can read.

Republicans probably should’ve read their far-right megabill before passing it

This is a list of rural hospitals that the Murder Budget will close.

For your Congress calling purposes.

Remember, they took public lands sales out of the bill because of red state resister pushback! They are all terrified, Murkowardski admitted it. When they are more afraid of us than they are of Trump we win.

According to health officials, more than 400 dialysis patients, nearly 40% of Gaza’s dialysis community, have already died since the war began. They were not killed in airstrikes; they were killed by "Israel's" policy, by blockade, by the refusal to allow fuel through the gates.

The World Health Organization has raised urgent alarms, highlighting the complete exhaustion of kidney medication supplies and an acute shortage of dialysis equipment. Yet the borders remain sealed, the fuel remains blocked, and the machines remain off.

Last month, Israeli occupation forces destroyed the Noura al-Kaabi dialysis center in northern #Gaza. The facility was affiliated with the Indonesian Hospital, located in the northern part of the Strip, which has been repeatedly besieged by Israeli forces who have opened fire on anyone moving within its grounds.

Rick Hazen on how the ultrarich — and Supreme Court — have reshaped presidential elections:

"New First Amendment attacks on the constitutionality of disclosure could soon bear fruit at an increasingly deregulatory SCOTUS. So we can expect a day when we may not even know how many nine-figure donors are out there seeking to influence our elections and our elected officials."

"This bill is so jam-packed with gifts for billionaires and corporations at the expense of everyday Americans that it’s nearly impossible to describe the full extent of its depravity."
