the greatest evidence that socialized medicine and healthcare is popular is the way that both trump and biden have taken credit for lowering the price of insulin for medicare recipients. maybe the democrats should be defined by this policy going forward!

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

America First. Really? Trump says we have to throw 15 million Americans off healthcare and significantly raise ACA premiums because we don’t have enough money. But somehow we have $20 billion to bailout the right-wing regime of Argentina? We can’t let that happen.

Today's jobs report shows what many Americans already knew: despite record highs in the stock market, the “economy” is not working for ordinary people. Rather than accept reality & try to address it, Trump chooses to fire the bearers of bad news. This is what authoritarians do.

Tariffs must be seriously thought out and used to help American workers & consumers. They should not be used to punish the political decisions of our allies. Canada has a right to set its own policy on Palestine. Americans shouldn't pay the price because Trump doesn't like it.

This is exactly the problem, though. Why is 99% of discourse about this topic a "debate" about whether the people protesting *an extremely well-documented ongoing mass murder* really mean it? There is no reason to think people are "putting on a show" of opposition. They're opposed!

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

Republicans are proposing the largest cut to the social safety net in US history www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
But it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history. While last-minute changes to the bill text make precise estimates impossible, the legislation appears on track to cut Medicaid by about 18 percent and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20 percent, according to estimates based on projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

It’s possible that I’m missing stuff, but I don’t get the sense that the people complaining about the injunction decision “don’t get it.” As if, once given all the details and walked through them by law professors, they’ll see it’s not so bad. I think they get it and agree with the dissenters.

It's amazing how much clarity the New York Times has about Viktor Orban and his crackdown on LGBTQ people. If only they had it for Trump and the US. It's the exact same political strategy!
Unable to find any marchers performing lewd acts or any evidence of the bacchanalia the government had been warning against for weeks, Mr. Orban’s media machine focused on traffic jams and minor scuffles caused by the march.

“Chaos at Budapest Pride,” read a banner headline in Magyar Nemzet, a media outlet that serves as Fidesz’s version of the Soviet communist party newspaper Pravda.

Mr. Orban, a populist nationalist, has long cast Hungary as a bastion of conservative values besieged by “woke” forces in the European Union and the United States, trying to distract attention from Hungary’s faltering economy and to rev up his right-wing rural base.

🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.
DHS Terminates Haiti TPS, Encourages Haitians to Obtain Lawful Status
Release Date: June 27, 2025
WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem today announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. The TPS designation for the country expires on Aug. 3, 2025, and the termination will be effective on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. 

At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, is required to review the conditions in a country designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions supporting the designation continue to be met, and if so, how long to extend the designation.  

“This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,” said a DHS spokesperson. “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible.”

After conferring with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Haiti no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the conditions in Haiti and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, country conditions have improved to the point where Haitians can return home in safety. She further determined that permitting Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States. Haitian nationals returning home are encouraged to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States.
