Every single politician in America, especially Republican could learn a lesson about not cravenly debasing yourself like a pathetic meek coward. (There are other terms that come to mind.)

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think what we're going to see is the conservative numbers in Canada drop because people are looking at the destruction that Trump is unleashing and Canadians are thinking, 'If this is what MAGA looks like, there's no damn way we're going to vote for it in Canada.'

We know Trump & Elon are corrupt. We’ve learned even more in the past 48 hours: 🚙 Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Tesla. 💰 Elon received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits. 🛰️ The FAA gave a contract to Elon’s company Starlink, worth billions.

Trump and his henchmen did not make "a deal" with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine over rare earth minerals. They engaged in extortion, part of their protection racket-style strategy to shake down an ally in the midst of a deadly conflict.

Why am I NOT surprised to see that House Republicans are pushing ahead with their budget plan to cut TRILLIONS from the budget at the expense of American people? CUT Medicaid, CUT food programs for our seniors and children. They’re just looking out for their billionaire buddies.

There is NO way to cut the budget as much as Republicans want without CUTTING Medicaid benefits. If Reps. Malliotakis, Lawler, Garbarino, and Lalota vote yes, they are voting to cut Medicaid benefits for their constituents.
