There is too much going on and too much to keep track of and that’s exactly what they want.

Don’t let anyone convince you that Trump was ever going to lower prices. Nearly a quarter of the coffee imported into the US comes from Colombia, which now faces a 25%, and soon to be 50%, tariff.

It’ll be really interesting to see what happens when Trump’s economic policies yields a catastrophic economic collapse. I wonder how democrats will be blamed…

Mike Johnson saying they will investigate the Jan. 6 committee is a great way of foreshadowing the billions of dollars ready to be wasted by house Republicans.

How can you call yourself the party of the working class while attempting to force a government shutdown that stops paychecks for nearly 4 million federal workers and military personnel? At least President Elon and is now forced to backtrack like a ...

The proposed budget has a 3.8% pay increase for congressional representatives and senators. Why do they get an increase but federal employees don’t?

As long as the Pelosi-wing of the Democratic party retains power, we will keep losing and losing.

In April, the Biden admin finalized a new rule that would have made 4+ million workers nationwide newly eligible to earn 1.5x their salary if they work more than 40 hours a week. A Trump federal judge struck it down citing that the salary threshold was TOO HIGH. America voted for this.

Currently there are over 15 million VACANT homes in the United States. Concurrently, there are more than 650,000 homeless people in the United States. Make it make sense?

The Kaiser Family Foundation does a study every year on healthcare costs. It's actually more like 25k annually for premiums per family per year. The annual household income is usually published by the U.S. Census Bureau! Thanks for asking! www.kff.org/interactive/...

The average American family pays 23k in healthcare premiums annually. The median household income in America is $80k in 2024 Make it make sense.

West Virginia ranks 2nd-to-last in life expectancy (72.8 years) while spending the 6th most on healthcare per capita ($12,769). How is this normalized in the U.S?

It’s beautiful to see people across the political spectrum unite in anger at corporations and healthcare companies exploiting Americans. I’ve been calling out corporate greed as the root of our problems for over a decade, and I’ve never seen such unity like this before.

This seems to be the real copy of Luigi Mangione's "manifesto." I only share it because, although I do not agree with the methodology, the problems he raises are still extreme pertinent to the healthcare system we suffer with in America.

Trump’s nominees have more in common than just being unqualified. They’re all losers. 67% of Trump’s cabinet-level nominees have lost elections in the past.

Turns out the UnitedHealth CEO killer is actually a right-winger… As usual, 99% of political violence is right wing violence.

Russia's loyalty to Assad's Syria was never about friendship but about blocking the proposed Qatar-Turkey pipeline. By preventing it, Russia maintained its gas monopoly over Europe.

UnitedHealthcare's NET INCOME has rapidly increased as premiums rapidly increase as well. This is why we are so angry. This should be all over the news but it won't be.

Breaking News: Federal officials will begin testing U.S milk for the bird flu virus. They are only testing unpasteurized milk for the virus. It’s almost as if pasteurizing milk kills all pathogens present. @RFKJR

A federal court just upheld a law that will ban TikTok by mid-January. I wonder if the $20 million dollars a year Meta spends on lobbying has anything to do with it.

According to FEC filings, Elon Musk spent over $250 million to help elect Donald Trump. He’ll make that back 10-fold now that Trump is in his pocket.

House Republicans just voted to block the release of the Matt Gaetz ethics report. If Democrats had a spine, it would "leak" to the public.

In 2016, the “Bernie Bro” movement was a wave of young men angry at corporate and billionaire greed. The Democrats crushed that movement. Now the right has a monopoly on young men, who blame their problems on immigrants and inflation. It costed us the election.

The murder of the United Healthcare CEO, although a despicable act, just demonstrates how hurt people are by insurance companies and the burden of healthcare. Medical debt bankrupts nearly 1.3 million Americans every year.

Trump use to refer to Ron Desantis as "fat, phony and whiny." when he was running against him. Now he is considering him for Defense secretary. Trump only cares if you are useful to him.

During the first Trump administration, USDA regulations involving inspections of meat processing plant were eased. This year a Boar's Head meat processing plant had a listeria outbreak leading to over 10 deaths and 50 hospitalizations. Saying Trump can't affect our day-to-day lives is wrong.
