Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal @jayapal.house.gov · 15/09/2025
A couple of weeks ago, Big Tech billionaires and wealthy CEOs flocked to the White House to praise Trump. In return for their loyalty, donations to Trump’s campaigns, and purchases of his crypto scam, he's giving them massive handouts. Trump is a president for the billionaires, not us.

meanwhile matthew dowd was fired for accurately describing charlie kirk’s legacy but please tell me more about the liberal media
Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from
MSNBC after his comments about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a network source.
During MSNBC's coverage of Kirk's shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about "the environment in which a shooting like this happens." Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: "He's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that's the unfortunate environment we are in."

I have a chronic condition. I also have health insurance. One treatment is $3500. My portion is $2000. If I weren’t insured, the cash price for the procedure would be $1000. But, since I have insurance, I don’t qualify for the cash price. Health insurance is a fucking scam.

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

Regardless, this is just another gift to Putin. The tally thus far: a fractured alliance, fragmenting security environment, pressure on friends, embrace of Russia, no ceasefire, and Russia elevated. All in all, this Summit is shaping up to be a disaster.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
