It would be bad enough that federal taxpayer $ was used to PRODUCE it and then it was just aired on social media. But to then use federal taxpayer $ for multiple commercial buys 🤬 Breaking laws with impunity 🤬

How many election crimes does he have to commit before we call the midterms rigged? Is making his supporters promise to commit voter fraud enough? Commandeering half a billion in Super PAC funds? Threatening to jail state officials? Asking for a country.

Health Insurance companies can eat a bag of dicks. A medication that has been approved multiple times that costs thousands is no longer approved because it's "not medically necessary" and isn't good for you. Then why did the doctor order it? It's because we met the deductible and it's free now.

It's easy to forget that the whole purpose of the Republican Party is to distract voters daily with such irrelevant nonsense that we never have conversations about how to actually move the country forward. Can you imagine a US politician who was only willing to discuss *policy*?

Bleak tidbit from Regime Change — Bessent attempted a Hitler-style shakedown of Zelenskyy as one of his first acts as Treasury Secretary
“Bessent’s proposal would require Ukraine to pay the United States 50 percent of future revenue from state-owned natural resources, including hydrocarbons and rare earth minerals. The document prescribed very specific commitments from Ukraine, but offered no security commitments from the United States. Even though the minerals deal had been Zelensky’s idea, part of the “Victory Plan for Ukraine” he had recently unveiled, he was shocked by Bessent’s terms.
Zelensky explained that he was leading his country through a particularly violent phase of the three-year-old war, and insisted that he and his staff needed more time to consider the proposal. Bessent saw things very differently. He had traveled nearly five thousand miles to an active war zone to obtain Zelensky’s signature, and now Zelensky was telling him no.
“You need to sign this,” Bessent urged. “The purpose of this is to show that there is no daylight” between the U.S. and Ukraine.
Zelensky, furious, replied that the document was an attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty. This was not the way international agreements worked—this was a shakedown.”

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
