Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

Trump didn’t save U.S. Steel, he greenlit a foreign takeover rebranded as “partnership.” No binding job protections, no union guarantees, just empty promises. Biden blocked the sale. Trump revived it. Steelworkers see the scam. It’s not patriotism, it’s another con. www.wfyi.org/news/article...

Dear MAGA, farmers and truckers who voted for Trump: if you’re staring down bankruptcy, take a long look in the mirror. You hired a guy whose specialty was filing for bankruptcy. He’s filed 6 himself. What’d you think was gonna happen, magic beans?

While we should certainly be grateful for hard work that is going into the losses Trump is experiencing in the courts, we should refuse to think that his weaponization of law enforcement agencies has slowed down. If anything, it’s gaining momentum. 1/2

Israel's blockade on medical supplies was always indefensible. They never really tried to defend it. They just thought no one would notice, or care, or say anything. But someone did. So now they may simply end it. Just like that. What a sick farce.

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"? It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them. Follow the money.
