Privatization makes things worse. Look at air traffic control in Canada or space exploration in the USA. Privatization doesn’t save money or deliver better services. It makes profits for shareholders. Water, electricity, transportation services, and healthcare should be public not private goods.

Nebraska Republican Rep. Mike Flood’s town hall got ugly when he admitted to constituents that he hadn’t read Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” before voting for it. The same bill the House passed last week which will force millions of Americans off their health care coverage and food aid.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Trump just pardoned a convicted criminal, Paul Walczak, after his mother, Elizabeth Fago, attended a million dollar fundraiser for him just weeks before. It is noted that his mother, Elizabeth Fago, had raised millions of dollars for Trump’s campaigns, as well as those of other Republicans.

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” will require people on Medicaid and SNAP to work 20 hours a week in order to qualify for benefits. What does the bill require the wealthy to do to qualify for their tax cut? Nothing. They just get it.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

The steady stream of gaslighting propaganda, the legislative assaults on vulnerable people, and the clear mental instability of a leader whose sole intention is to seek a new moral bottom—we can't make peace with any of it. No, none of this is normal. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/please-don...

These legislators should be forced to vote on each Commandment separately—not an omnibus package—& no one should be allowed to vote for a Commandment they've violated lest they violate the Third Commandment. Or: they should respect the Establishment Clause & get back to work.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of any religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

Trump is sending Ukrainians & Afghans that helped our soldiers away now too. How cruel can he get? He is putting their lives at risk just because he thinks it’s fun. He’s one sadistic azzhole. We have to stand up for people that are here legally! #OneV1 #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue1

A new analysis finds that projected growth from the GOP budget's tax cuts would only cover 2.7% of their $3.8T cost. That's nowhere close to the cuts "paying for themselves." Notice how nobody ever asks, "but how will we pay for it" when it comes to trickle-down economics?

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.
