Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?

Brilliant. Pass it on…

❗️URGENT❗️Russell Vought is Trump’s hatchet man, ready to gut Medicaid, veterans’ aid, and life-saving health research—just a glimpse of what’s on the chopping block. Trump backed down once—next time, he won’t. Tell your senators to block Vought’s confirmation as head of the OMB. Link is below.

WTAF?

She lost her life serving our country and because of the smears by the President her family doesn’t want us to know her name. It’s two weeks and this Administration is the most shameful imaginable. — Army withholds name of Black Hawk helicopter crew in D.C. crash www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

The architects of Tuesday’s chaos and confusion are the guys who got B+s in high school biology — and are now trying to perform brain surgery. Bloody chaos ensues. And it sucks to be the patient who’s under the knife. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening. Let’s not become one of them.

Kash Patel told @amyklobuchar.com he did not recall saying Trump has “every right to tell the world that in 2020, 2016, and every other election in between was rigged by our government because they were.” Here’s the clip:

ICYMI: After OMB Director Nominee Vought's hearing, I submitted some questions for the record which he is required to answer under oath. While he dodged many of our questions in the hearing and in other responses to QFRs, he used this one to show his true colors.

Trump and Elon got a bunch of figure skaters and their families killed.

Because, presidential….

Because this gay man has more strength and character than any 100 “Alpha Males” Trump can put forward.

A young civil rights attorney Kiah Duggins passed away in the tragic DC plane crash last night. She wrote some amazing articles about the law and justice that I will share in the subsequent thread. May her memory be a blessing ❤️

I rebuke and condemn the monstrous and grotesque racism expressed by Trump & others in their ignorant and crass assignation of blame for this tragedy, which is an affront to Kiah Huggins’ life’s work. Signing off for the night.

Nothing to see here. Just the fascist regime "prioritizing" places with higher birth rates... New DOT Memo Directs Funds To Communities With Higher ‘Marriage And Birth Rates’ www.huffpost.com/entry/dot-me...

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person. Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?! Do you see how far they have moved the window?

Fyi -

He is a monster.

The head of the FAA was fired because he held Elon Musk accountable for SpaceX safety omissions. Donald and Elon don't care about regular Americans dying in plane crashes, they only care about themselves getting richer.

The biggest mistake salespeople make is they keep on talking after they have closed the deal. It doesn't take long for buyers remorse to set in.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Remember — Tulsi Gabbard was on a TSA watch list because of suspicious foreign travel, including to Syria and Russia. Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for suspicious foreign travel.

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

@schiff.senate.gov 🔥🔥🔥KashPatel lied to you today. In DC two people who can deploy the National Guard since the 1800s. POTUS and the secretary of defense. Patel was the chief of staff Chris Miller and DENIED the National Guard 14 times. I was there. MY VIDEO www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr3P...

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

🥲

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

Jan 20: FAA director fired Jan 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen Jan 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded Jan 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees Jan 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years MAGA = Make Airplanes Go-Boom Again

Cassidy: Will you say the MMR does not cause autism RFK Jr: if the data is there Cassidy: it’s there RFK Jr: if you show me the data Cassidy: It predates my time in Congress The problem is RFK Jr will never accept the science. RFK Jr is LYING #rfkjr

Sen. Tammy Baldwin just got RFK Jr to admit that even after over 100 clinical studies demonstrating that mifepristone is safe for women to take, if Trump tells him to remove it from the market he will. We need the MSM to tease these moments out for the public.

here's today's post: "imbecile guts air safety, then demands to know why a plane crashed" — management-by-vendetta sure is working out swimmingly. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Trump FROZE all hiring for FAA Flight Tower Controls, making our airports less safe. THIS is what happens when you put PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. No head of FAA either because Musk said it was too expensive. This isn't Twitter, this is our lives! Trump should be charged with 64 counts of manslaughter.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Ladies and Gentlemen, The man who is incapable of empathy, who terminated the head of the TSA, and halted the Federal Aviation Administration’s DEI - because he despises Diversity Equity and Inclusion, comments on the plane crash — The president of the United States of America 👇🏼

Daily task to fight fascism: SAY NO TO KASH PATEL AND TULSI GABBARD! ❌❌ Email your Senators using the link below and tell them you object to these nominees! It will take just 2 minutes. ⏰⏰ Or call them at (202) 224-3121. ☎️ www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

#HoldTheLine! Pass it on!

James Mattis resigned in disgust, then spoke openly. He warned us but America has too many stupid people!

He’s not capable of empathy, this is the best he can do.

I have family members in the United States, but I won’t be visiting them while the Orange Cheese Puff is in the White House.
