Trump, 2016: "When we win ... we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare. ... And we will do it very, very quickly." Trump, 10 years later: "We will pass a truly great health care plan." Still no health care plan.

This underscores why it’s so hard to cover Trump. Every sentence contains multiple lies, true, but *also* each lie is made for a different reason. Some are premeditated, some a product of dementia, some a product of being raised in a cult, some only semiconscious, some born of fear. He’s a mess.

Even in dark times, democracy can renew itself. That’s the quiet power of voting: every election is a chance to refresh the system, correct course, and begin again.

He says this with a straight face as gas reaches $4.50/gal, diesel reaches $6.50/gal, mortgage rates soar over 7%, grocery costs are rising, and Americans’ sentiments towards the economy are the lowest they’ve been since the Great Recession.

This Post report might be an early indicator of a shift in the press corps' attitude toward Trump. Widespread economic pain is going to turn reporters against him. It happened during the pandemic. Reporters just stopped playing along as the body count rose. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Gas prices are about to take a big jump, analysts say, with the worst still to come
The forecast of economic impacts beyond November’s midterms contrast with the Trump administration’s optimistic messaging.

Every day, Trump and Republicans are actively making life less affordable for Americans with tariffs, wars, and incompetence. But 16 of the US’s wealthiest billionaires are going to flood the zone with culture war drivel ads and lies to dupe people into voting against themselves.

Many 9/11 first responders had to fight for the continuation of their healthcare coverage by the government as Congress has repeatedly put it on the chopping block. People should not have to fight to have healthcare in this country.

It's clinical narcissism. The only way he can engage on this subject is by making it about himself. It's the same with 9/11. He knows he's supposed to acknowledge it, somberly pay tribute or whatever, & literally the only way he can is by inserting himself into it.

HARDING: Trump cut US assistance to Ukraine, repeats Kremlin talking points, actually supports Russia. He’s most pro-Russian president in US history. O’BRIEN: I mean, if Trump were a Russian agent, what exactly would he do differently? When you think about that, it’s terrifying.

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

Nationwide, it's clear ICE doesn't care about the health of the people they detain. The lack of accountability is unacceptable. At Delaney Hall and other facilities, people are suffering without proper medical care. They deserve so much better – that's what I'm fighting for.
sfchronicle.com
ICE hasn’t paid for detainee medical care since October. Advocates call it the ‘death policy’
ICE owes millions in unpaid bills to hospitals and, in some cases, detainees themselves have been directly billed for care, records show.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll submitting his resignation to Trump is another gut punch. Consistently losing people who know what they’re doing so that failure Pete Hegseth can pretend he’s a man, has already been disastrous. I’m scared of what’s coming next. The timing is real off.

Healthcare is a right. but FL hasn't gotten the memo. “Over 440,000 Florida enrollees lost ACA healthcare coverage in the first 2 months of 2026.” (Per Charles Gaba) In a great country, everyone would have affordable healthcare. People are suffering because of Trump and the GOP.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.
