"Patient deaths have been found to increase in U.S. hospitals after being acquired by private equity firms, according to one study.

The death rates rose in the emergency departments of these hospitals, in comparison to similar hospitals not acquired by private equity, the study says."

"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)."

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

"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
