Trump and Republicans want to talk fraud? Fine. The fraud we actually see in healthcare doesn't come from working families, it comes from the top Case in point: Trump just pardoned a nursing home executive who skimmed $10M from the paychecks of his employees.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies said they’d make government more efficient. Instead, they broke it — creating a bureaucratic mess & bulldozing services Americans rely on. This was never about efficiency. It was about rigging government for billionaires at everyone else’s expense.

I set up a camera on our dock last night to capture the aurora. I didn't see anything the few times I got up to check, but we had an outburst on the horizon. Time lapse composed of 4s exposures is 20 min real time. It looks like the aurora was suppressed by photon torpedoes! #astrophotography

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

These Medicaid cuts will be extremely bad and they’re just to offset tax cuts for very wealthy people www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Imagine having to lie like this every day.

Republicans want to kick 7.6M people off Medicaid to save $625B over 10 years. Universal healthcare with Medicare for All would guarantee everyone healthcare and save $650B every year. Republicans don’t care about healthcare or saving money — they want to harm people.

This is an annotated version of Trump's interview on "Special Report with Bret Baier" from Friday May 16, 2025. It's Trump without Trump. You won't have to listen to his voice or see his face. I break it down for you in about two minutes.

Independent journalist @rothschildmd.bsky.social noted: “Making a statement like this in front of active duty troops would have generated months of scandal, hearings, and resignations in years gone by. Now it’s just another Thursday with the Mad King.” www.rawstory.com/trump-troops/

Trump loyalist Kristi Noem asked to resign for violating the constitution, the US Congress hasn't taken stronger steps towards policing Trump regime loyalists, due to GOP collaborators, but this is a start.

More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified by the Trump administration that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle. Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold. 📚

So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?
