No counting chickens before they’re hatched but the GOP panic you can almost taste for the last few weeks has been refreshing. Imagine if we kept them on the run like this all the time.

All this is obvious, true and but for a couple of very brave pieces in WSJ, not reported or discussed in US corporate media, which are afraid of him.

Really strange to me that I don't find anyone else on my SM talking about receiving a $500 check from the Treasury Dept with a weird (lying) letter from the felon referencing the ACA. I got mine yesterday. I'm so annoyed by it I almost don't even want to deposit it. Nobody? Isn't this a thing?

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Trump and Hegseth have killed 230+ people on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific with no proof they did anything wrong, no congressional approval, no nothing. Just 2 unhinged fascists ordering our military to commit murder. Vote against all Republicans for the sake of all that is decent.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

And that’s *putting aside* that he’s made three such promises before and broken all three; that he doesn’t have the authority to make this promise (Congress appropriates money); that his false promise would cost $1.3 trillion and bankrupt America; or that it reeks of desperation.

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

One of the most radical positions you can take in American politics is that people are just people, and that regardless of where they're born they have the same rights and worth as anyone else. Any articulation of that view will alienate you from both parties and get you treated like a terrorist.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.
