I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Biden subtweets Trump during his eulogy for Jimmy Carter

Q: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of areas like Greenland or Panama you are not gonna use military or economic coercion? TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.

We also have a HUGE national shortage of construction workers, agricultural workers and food processors, landscapers, and hospitality workers. But he wants all of them all deported as not useful, while justifying migrants in his industries.

This sums it up, yes.

The Senate has approved legislation to expand Social Security benefits for workers who received government pensions or disability payments β€” sending the measure to President Biden's desk to be signed into law.

I keep hearing that every incumbent party has lost power in recent elections worldwide but that's not true at all. Claudia Sheinbaum of Morena won the presidency in Mexico with even bigger margins (30+ points) than AMLO. She did it with leftist populism so I guess that doesn't count.
