Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

Anybody could see this coming:

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

DEI has been replaced with DAF (Dumb As Fuck).

Republicans are gutting healthcare in preparation to give massive tax cuts to the wealthy while exploding the deficit. As a result, Republicans are getting roasted at town halls. You know what this means. Republicans are going to stop holding town halls.

I'm old enough to remember when America was a respected world power.

โšก๏ธ'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

Trump's plan appears to be to make 95% of people's lives worse to make 5% of people's lives better.
