Our country and our citizens deserve better than to be lied to and stolen from by their own government on a daily basis.

With Trump giving $500 checks to 1M ACA enrollees, just remember, 10 years ago he promised to replace Obamacare with something better, in 2 weeks. So, if health insurance got more expensive it is his fault.

In the first 8 months as VP, Vance has been on vacation 7 months. He's been on vacation with his family to India, Rome, Disneyland, the UK, the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont, & a park in North Dakota. And then he tells us to stop griping about costs calling them little things. Fuck Vance!

JD Vance tells Americans to stop whining
JD Vance is a lousy retail politician. If nothing else, he’s so droningly boring he makes Mike Pence look like he’s the life of the party. However, Vance’s political liabilities go far beyond his…

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

They keep perpetuating myths about the Trump/Epstein relationship. They *did* have a falling out, but it was over money, not morality. Epstein showed Trump a property he was thinking about buying. Trump bought it out from under him. An angry Epstein accused Trump of using laundered money to do it.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Trump claimed to TIME that Secret Service officials have encouraged him to replace the current Oval Office. "'Sir, we think the Oval Office should be taken down, and we'll build a new one, sir,'" said Trump. "I said, 'My ass, you can't build a new one. This is a special place.'"

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.
