I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

RFK Jr. and Donald Trump are already sending our health care system into chaos by ripping insurance away from 15 million people. Now, they’re making it harder to get a handle on measles, flu, and other public health threats. It’s Trump politicizing every part of government.

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers. What an indictment of our media.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go? Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next? Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

Donald Trump's Social Security Admin is LYING to the American people. They said call wait times are down to minutes. Well, I investigated and found people are waiting HOURS for help — and that's if they get help at all. They need to stop the cover up and fix this giant failure.
usatoday.com
How long will you wait for Social Security help? Why it's anybody's guess.
The Social Security Administration is providing less information about caller wait times. Critics complain it's misleading the public.
