Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

Wonder how insurance companies will feel about the Musk/Trump admin gutting firefighting, disaster response, and weather forecasting services.

This is evil. Pure evil.

a fair question, concisely stated

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

Trump is a MFin' Russian Agent. There is no denying it now. He is the #CyberianCandidate Read it on my substack open.substack.com/pub/malcolmn...

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is now learning that a lot of Republican voters are on Medicaid.

While meeting with the King of Jordan and a visibly uncomfortable Rubio today, Trump now changes his position from yesterday and says the US is not going to buy Gaza, we are just going to take it: “We’re gonna take it, we’re gonna hold it, we’re gonna cherish it.”

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But. Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system. For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

That Felony Guy makes zero sense and is only going to get worse.

Let’s be clear about why Meta is removing fact checking.

“Trump will go down in history as a uniquely corrupt figure— and the fist convicted criminal to occupy the Oval Office.” My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/history-wi...

Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced on Tuesday that his company will no longer fact check user posts on its platforms, capitulating to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. What does this move mean for our democracy? Jay Kuo digs into this question for The Big Picture.

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform. That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media. I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.
