Last year, Trump and 98% of elected GOP enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan's Medicaid cuts. By 2034, 7.5 million people will lose their Medicaid because of the cuts. Clinics are already closing and hospitals are already cutting services, citing OBBBA as a reason.
medicaid cuts from obbba grow to 16% by 2034

Chief Justice John Roberts handed Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card and called it constitutional law. He thinks a lifetime seat makes him untouchable. It doesn’t. Congress can impeach a chief justice. Most Americans have no idea. Spread it.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.
