Oh. Tanning bed companies are getting a tax break while people with skin cancer are getting kicked off Medicaid? None of this is making America great.

The country with the most sophisticated intelligence capabilities in the world, and the president is holding up "a months-old blog post" from an obscure, conspiracy-mongering site "featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo" while making allegations against South Africa to its president

This is Project 2025 fallout. Career intel detailees having to report directly to political staff to ensure their opinions aren't ideologically at odds with the party. Want to keep your job? Don't bring the boss bad news. Great way to run an intelligence service 🙄

Olszewski: We’re still learning in real time what this bill even includes. Taking out fees on gun silencers? Making tanning easier—while they’re gutting food benefits and taking away healthcare from people. They’re turning their backs on veterans. It also adds trillions to the deficit.

Shopping for groceries used to mean checking freshness and price. Now Jennifer Schulze wonders if the food is even safe to eat. Trump is gutting the system that’s protected Americans from contaminated food and medicine for over a century.

🚨 💉The FDA will no longer approve COVID vaccines for people 6mo–64yrs who don't have a risk factor for severe COVID-19. People 65 years and older and those under 65 with risk factors can still get vaccinated. There's so much to unpack here. See a few thoughts below 👇

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

This is a big deal: Five Republicans just voted against Trump’s Tax Scam because they want even more cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Delaying this bill will make Mike Johnson’s job even more difficult — and we get more time to make calls to Congress, toxify Trump’s Tax Scam, and defeat it.

The case in Georgia is precisely what happened in Gilead. This scenario played out during an episode of the oppressive, dystopian TV drama The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 3) — based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. The state keeps a fetus alive after the mother is shot and declared baindead.
