There are two dieticians on local TV news right now talking about how you can buy potatoes and some cheap cuts of meat to really stretch your dollar and I feel like this is more devastating than any anti-Trump ad currently running.

@thebulwark.com did a supercut of all the prior times Trump said he was going to give Americans a $5000 check or whatever. It is glorious

Democrats smiling while standing under an elephant and holding a fat check is a pretty perfect encapsulation of a party that fights its own progressives with far more fervor that its right wing opponents.

🤔 "War?" "Hijack?" "Takeover?" Y'all use the weirdest vocab to describe voters calmly walking into a voting booth and filling in the bubble next to the name of the candidate that says things like "Childcare can be cheaper!" and "Let's fix that bike lane!" and "Elon should pay more tax than you do!"

But he doesn't double down. He attacks the questioner and/or then storms out if they don't take the bait. The story inevitably becomes his sexist/racist/vulgar attack rather than him denying reality. Note we're all talking about him ending the interview and not what triggered it.

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file. (Published May 2023)

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

The video shows the window being broken from the inside by an ICE thug. I downloaded and went through frame-by-frame at full size on my computer. An ICE thug by the big potted fern hits the window and glass flies OUTWARD. It's unmistakable. dailyemerald.com/179296/featu...
