TACO is cashing in on a many years‑old Kremlin idea that the U.S. could be “given” Caracas in exchange for looking the other way on Ukraine. 🤬🤬🤬

Did you hear about this massive Medicare and Medicaid fraud case? Rick Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare, which was busted in 2000 in what remains the biggest Medicaid/Medicare fraud case of all time. But he never saw a day of jail time. Instead, he got rich and got into politics.

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

Read this: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

To be clear, Medicare only pays 80%. We seniors still have to pay for private insurance to cover that 20% and it's not cheap. Single payer healthcare is what we should demand just like the rest of the civilized world.
