Go Bob, go. "Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy."

I was working on a new flying video and came across this image which I kinda love. This is on approach into the airport at Hickory, North Carolina. The ballpark, mountains, green trees... strange alien markings on the parking lot pavement...

Just saw this. "Stephanopoulos cracked the seal on 'This Week' connecting the dots between Trump’s pardons and presidential fundraisers, suggesting Trump and his family were making millions through various pay-to-play schemes."

Photo of the day. We decided to run up to South Dakota last week to get a look in person before the parks close permanently... or some 🌮 tries to change it. Enjoy!

I guess we already knew this president is for sale -- and relatively cheap, at that -- but everytime I read this crap I wonder how any self-respecting American voted for him.

FYI: When the GOP says their budget simply kicks "illegals" off Medicaid, they're lying. They're actually kicking off 10 million poor folks—and kids from CHIP. Undocumented immigrants don't get Medicaid; they can get state-funded healthcare from some states, but GOP is trying to stop that, too.

The real story in this WSJ piece is that there’s some dipstick at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty worried sick about kids understanding gender and justice.

At what point do you realize you're being played? CNBC: "Elon Musk’s America PAC didn’t keep its promise to pay swing state voters who signed a pro-Trump petition ahead of the 2024 election, and who enlisted others to do the same, a new lawsuit alleges."

Dan Rather: "If 'invaders,' aka immigrants, can be taken into custody without due process — no charges, no lawyer, no court appearances — what is to stop Trump from doing it to anyone he deems a threat? Perceived political enemies? Lawyers? Journalists?"

"[8 of the world's top 10 most valuable companies are in the US.] Research funded by the federal government has paved the way for a long list of breakthroughs... Yet rather than building on this foundation, [Trump] is determined to destroy it." - Scott Galloway www.profgalloway.com/brain-drain/

HuffPost: “Trump has long held up IQ as the be-all, end-all measure of self-worth. (He’s equally obsessed with ‘good genes,’ and others’ ― usually migrants’ ― ‘bad genes.’) But when he’s claiming a critic is a ‘low-IQ person’ or ‘individual,’ it’s usually a Black woman he’s targeting.”

I do love the "Trump-appointed judge rules" part of the headline. From the ruling: "... the historical record renders clear that the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute’s terms."

If you're a tennis player or tennis fan you'll recognize Q1 2025's economy as what's termed an "unforced error." Social media fans might call it a "self-own." MAGA calls it "winning?"

At 100 Days... only 37% of Americans say the U.S. economy is stronger. "More Americans say that, compared with the Biden administration, the Trump administration’s policies have made the U.S. economy weaker (49%) rather than stronger (37%). Another 13% say there is not much difference."

I don't get this critcism. If you watch the "damning video" you see a ton of staff getting off the plane with @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov. You can't host a rock concert with two people and a karaoke mic. They have a team and they're crisscrossing the West. Where's the beef?
