From CBO: • 11.8 million lose coverage due to One Big Beautiful Bill provisions • 16M fewer w/ coverage in 2034 when incorporating the 4.2M expected coverage loss from expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies That's a 57% ↑ in # of uninsured compared to June 2024 current policy projection

Okay here's "The Solo"

One of my fave versions ever... The solo man...

A good opportunity for Democrats to drop their current message -- "We apologize for being Democrats" -- and pick up a new one: "We can have nice things."

"Larry David shared a transcript of one of his production meetings for Curb Your Enthusiasm for the New Yorker:[...]

NEW -- Yes, there absolutely was media malfeasance in our coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign. No, it wasn't about Joe Biden being old. It was about how we normalized the hell out of a man who had already tried to end American democracy once. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

[...]If we were more conspiracy-minded, we might have speculated that the reason they were saying these things was because this was exactly what Donald Trump intended to do himself. As it turns out, we would have been absolutely correct.[...] It's all projection with them...

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

Not many people know this, but the song 8675309 is actually threatening people who live in the zip code 75309

It's worrying that some of Biden’s aides questioned his competency, but it’s terrifying that none of Trump’s ever have.

They need a catchy title for this. How about: The Kill the Children, the Old and the Needy to Make the Rich Richer Act of 2025? House Republicans Push Forward Plan to Cut Taxes, Medicaid and Food Aid

Bruce Springsteen just opened his European tour in Manchester with a powerful message about how things are going back home 🔥

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

The notion that Republicans oppose "waste, fraud and abuse" in government spending is disproved so neatly by bullshit like this. It probably gets overturned in court. But only after Republicans spend millions in taxpayer funds to defend it. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Hi, I’m God. If Jesus Christ came back they’d attack him as a “woke marxist” and deport him to El Salvador.

A president who governs by “Executive Orders” is weak, not strong.
