The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

Amazon planned to show customers how the tariffs were impacting their charges for products, but the White House went ballistic at the idea. Guess they’re afraid of the truth! Bezos backed down, making a story that encapsulates much of what’s wrong AF these days. Link to my piece below.

SOCIAL SECURITY IS IN DANGER Lutnik is one of Trump’s billionaire oligarch cabinet members. His mother-in-law doesn’t need her monthly SS check but most Americans do. He’s deliberately raising the possibility of NOT sending out checks… and if you dare to complain, you’re obviously a fraudster.
