RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

What I cannot fathom is why any court is allowing Alligator Auscwirz to exist. Inhumane detention facilities violate the 8th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment.

Arkansas showed up! In Little Rock, a crowd estimated by the statewide newspaper at 8,000 marched to take a stand for Constitutional rights and against tyranny. It was a day of sunny skies and good vibes, with a steady stream of passersby honking and cheering in support. #NoKings

Imagine the outrage if a Democratic president let a shadowy South African billionaire with a ketamine habit access U.S. financial systems and national security secrets. Republicans would burn D.C. to the ground. But since he bankrolls their primaries, they stay silent. Pathetic.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...
Staffing was ‘not normal’ at airport tower, according to a preliminary F.A.A. report.
Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times.

The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport’s vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.
