JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

FACTS: "There are proposals from Republicans to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid." THIS is what it would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care Hands Off Our Medicaid

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Elon Musk strongly embraces and endorses Germany’s AfD. The AfD is a far-right political party, labeled right-wing-extremist by Germany’s domestic intelligence service. The AfD embraces and endorses the horrific ideology and legacy of Hitler and Nazis. Seeing Musk striking a Sieg Heil pose…
