Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

BREAKING: Trump just endorsed House Republicans’ plan to gut Medicaid, the program he said he would “love and cherish.” Medicaid provides health coverage to 72 million Americans. Trump is trying to rip that away. Democrats are fighting to stop him.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...

Now that Trump has fired the Kennedy Center leadership and installed a bunch of cronies who made him the new chair, the theater is canceling programs with even a hint of LGBTQ themes and scrubbing them from its website. Dark stuff. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Elon's entanglements in the Trump White House are a boon for his businesses. For example, he can now deploy DOGE to target an FAA office that has repeatedly tried to rein in SpaceX following explosions and other incidents.

Trump just fired the Special Counsel in the middle of the night—no reason given. This office is supposed to be independent, protecting whistleblowers and enforcing ethics laws. Now? There’s nobody left. No oversight. No accountability. And that’s exactly the point. youtube.com/shorts/jLfvX...

Connolly: "The public did not give Trump a mandate to dismantle whole chunks of the federal govt. It gave him a mandate to kick the tires, check the dipstick, and make sure things are running well and efficiently. What Elon Musk is doing is way beyond any mandate that Trump could possibly claim."

6. Beware of false attacks Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
