RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

This is eugenics.

Clarence Thomas Is Corrupt

Clarence Thomas accepted Millions in lavish, undisclosed gifts of travel and questionable real estate transactions from Harlan Crow.

The real-estate developer and GOP donor bought a house from Thomas but allowed his mother to remain.

Money for everyone but Americans. Meanwhile you get cuts to programs and higher gas prices.

Convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein called himself Donald Trump’s “closest friend.” Now, Trump and his DOJ are illegally withholding about half of the Epstein Files. What are they afraid of? Who are they protecting? Oversight Dems will get answers.

Alternet: Trump wanted to use US nuclear codes during an emergency meeting, a move blocked by General Dan Caine. Johnson criticized Trump’s mental state, claiming his Iran statements were aimed at manipulating stock prices rather than reflecting reality.

The National Disgrace and Danger of Kash Patel The FBI Director is a national embarrassment — and desperate to keep his job.

It’s been a few months since I wrote about how bad Kash Patel was at being FBI director, so let’s check in over at the FBI, shall we?

Wait ... what's that now? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-nation...

I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.

I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.

That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.

What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.

Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump.

The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms.

This isn’t a race to the bottom.

It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Superpower Suicide The geopolitics of our moment

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.
snyder.substack.com/p/superpower...

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

holy shit.

I think that's the lowest approval number I've seen anywhere.

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs.

1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary.
2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business.
3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$.
4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds.
5) Consumers will get squat.

Trump Should Fire More of His Cabinet And not just the women.

"Gender bias in firing incompetent cabinet secretaries is not the most important indictment of the Trump administration. But it’s worth noting. And it’s worth stressing that the problem isn’t that he’s fired the women. The problem is that he hasn’t fired the men." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

SAVE Act Fails, Millions of Voters Retain Their Right to Vote for Now MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) applauds the U.S. Senate’s rejection of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a sweeping anti-voter legislation pushed ...

The Save Act died in the Senate, again yesterday, but with tRump’s Epstein war, most people didn’t notice.

In some South states, less than 30% of citizens have a passport, and most married women nationwide don’t have a birth certificate matching their current legal name.

Shit's so fucked, Tom Waits came out of retirement.

Trump started an illegal war where 13 service members and many Iranian schoolgirls died

Gas and grocery prices are through the roof

We can’t afford to pay rent or buy health insurance

And ICE is killing people in the streets

Changes at the federal level are long overdue

Vote YES, Virginia

Antizionism is also a feminist movement.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Certifiable.

AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.

Donald Trump’s Fed Chair nominee has problems.

The longer the war, the more people will compare Trump's mental fitness to Biden's Despite his trying and trying, the results that ultimately matter have been identical.

Biden had aged in office.
Trump is certifiably insane.

Note to my influencer friends:

If you haven’t spoken at all about a race in a state you don’t live in, and all of a sudden your entire feed is about elevating a candidate and attacking their opponent — people are gonna reasonably assume you got a check.

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:

“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Going to keep sharing this, because something I heard from sources is many felt like, after SNAP paused for the first time ever over the fall when the Trump admin refused to fund benefits, lots of people were talking about it. Now, people are still struggling but it feels like attention moved on.
