What's RFK Jr's title again? He should understand how health insurance works, right? It's like he has a quota for how many people die during his tenure.

JD Vance blatantly lies: "We've made a lot of progress. Inflation is way lower today than it was when we took office." (Inflation has gone up!)

Nothing to see here, folks, just the President of the United States trying to incite violence and riots in the State of Minnesota exactly like he did with the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Sidebar: this is totally illegal for anyone else.

So, one of my best argument against the electoral college is that it actually provides perverse incentives to presidents to ignore states they’re not going to win. Of course, Trump takes “perverse” to unhinged extremes.

Thousands of protesters gathered around the Kennedy Center on Friday night to showcase the obscured marble facade that remains concealed and protest Trump’s threats to destroy the building further. Just watch these beautiful people chanting: “KEEP YOUR TINY HANDS OFF!” 🩷

Oh. My. Goodness. Can they put this on billboards ALL OVER TEXAS? Because they should know, before casting their votes, that Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott spent the past decade letting China buy up 162,000 acres of Texas soil. Seems important.🚨

THIS HAS TO STOP. MAGA Mike Johnson says they “inherited” record-high inflation. They didn’t. Inflation was 3.0% when Trump took office. Today: 3.4%. The 9.1% he keeps citing is from June 2022. That’s four years ago. You don’t get to govern on a four-year-old number. That’s not inheritance.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

It's actually less than that! Overstaying a visa is not a crime, but speeding and jaywalking are. It's a civil violation, which is why the penalty can't be imprisonment or fines. Or shouldn't be, though they've created this detention camp loophole like fascists do.

Dolly Parton helped fund Moderna’s vaccine. It began with a car crash and an unlikely friendship.
“Without a doubt in my mind, her funding made the research toward the vaccine go 10 times faster than it would be without it,” physician Naji Abumrad said of his friend.
