Well, it's happening. My 73 yr old aunt who is battling stage 4 cancer just got a letter from Medicare. They are switching her plan and now she will get less money on her health card which allows her to purchase otc meds, and food. She gets less than 800 a month ss. She is barely making it now

I am just so fucking proud of her.

A Republican lawmaker introduced a bill this week that would require Ohio public schools to show a video about fetal development to students starting in the third grade.

The Trump administration sent $230 million to Lebanon in a last-minute action to save the funds from expiring during a government shutdown, assistance that helps protect a fragile ceasefire between Beirut and Israel.

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term. Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times. Never delivered one. Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure. Now Russ Vought is taking that away. But only in blue states.

Hubert Humphrey said the moral test of government isn’t how it treats the healthy, but how it treats the sick, the elderly, and people with disabilities. As I said today on the Senate floor, we are facing a moral test. This isn’t about blame. It’s about Americans’ health care.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

This was so cringe and embarrassing. Trump filled the White House with tacky gold, while tarnishing our reputation in the world.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Trump - Hey farmers, I'm going to bail you out of the mess I created BUT you're crops won't sell again to China, I've tripled your health insurance, and your closest hospitals are closing soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

…

Great year for the Guardians. #guardians #cleveland

Rough game for the Guardians. Still got some time.

Trump is planning to hand farmers $10 billion in cash bailouts with taxpayer money—yet he values American farmers at only half the price of his Argentinian bailout.

Let's go, Guardians!! #Guardians #cleveland

SCOTUS decisions are made to placate a convicted felon who happens to be a pedophile. This isn't a constitutional crisis; it's a goddamn crime wave.

Yes, the Project 2025 agenda that was wildly unpopular in every opinion poll during the campaign is 100% the policy blueprint of the Trump admin, which was obvious then to people who paid attention and obvious now to everyone else.

Trump is now gloating about meeting with Russ Vought of "PROJECT 2025 Fame" to apparently determine which "Democrat Agencies" he wants to cut during a shutdown. Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?

Trump takes credit for any ceasefire or conflict that is resolved between two countries anywhere in the world despite the fact that he had zero involvement, never spoke to the leaders involved, never heard of the countries, and can’t find them on a map.

It’s Day One of Trump’s government shutdown. And what’s he been up to? He’s bailing out Argentina’s economy while forcing our air traffic controllers and service members to work without pay. What happened to America First?

Other than Gavin Newsom’s meme of Mike Johnson, this is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

Something about hearing civilians on the Global Sumud Flotilla tell the IOF they don't recognize them as a legal authority and to stand the fuck down sends chills down my spine. These people are braver than any of the world powers.

The Dept. of Homeland Security under Sec. Noem is completely out of control. Her decision to reinstate the officer who assaulted an asylum seeker is clearly viewed by other ICE agents as license to violently attack civilians. If DHS won't police itself then the OIG must step in immediately.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I hope they release his grinder account.

MARY JANE IS MISSING IN THE BRONX. Last seen at Field Place and Morris Ave. She's 12 pounds and chipped: 985113010065346. If you've seen or found her please call 888-466-3242 and PLEASE RT MARY JANE!

Naturally Trump’s mouth gift wraps a perfect lawsuit for every government worker he fires after he makes it clear he is doing it solely for politics and is specifically targeting civil servants who are registered Democrats. He basically wrote their lawsuit for them today.

The government of the United States, which is controlled by Donald Trump in the presidency, Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, will shut down in a few hours. It is the first shutdown since the last time Trump was president and he shut down the government.

Get rid of Chuck Schumer. Without new STRONG leaders not beholding to corporate donors or AIPAC the party is doomed. Someone needs to read the damned room. This circle jerk is embarrassing.

Another Good Old Paedophile (GOP). The Cult of Epstein lives on but Pedo-Potus is still its most venerated member. #USDemocracy scdailygazette.com/2025/09/29/f...

Nearly 130,000 refugees have passed rigorous vetting and are waiting for admission to America. The Trump Administration is leaving them in total limbo. And it’s refusing to consult Congress.

NEWS: Earlier today, workers at the Department of Labor received an email blaming Congressional Democrats for “forcing” a government shutdown. An employee described it as, “definitely the most explicitly partisan email I've seen in my three years here.”

You don’t have to do layoffs. And he specifically says that they are going to permanently terminate civil servants who are registered Democrats.

Ohhhhhh crap 👇

Let's go, Guardians #Guardians #cleveland

Judge Young is a Reagan appointee, by the way.

Those Epstein files gotta be really bad

So we learned from Hegseth today that accountability and discipline for crimes and misconduct is a War on Warriors and must end immediately.

Keep voting for Republicans, Ohio. This is what you get.

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Government shutdown, farmers needing to be bailed out, troops in the streets, country bitterly divided, revolving door of appointees, Putin getting coddled, constant chaos … must be another Trump term.

Chuck Schumer can't find his readers

This!

This is why Johnson and Thune didn't want the meeting Trump is in a bubble. Gov Kotek pierced it this weekend Think about how often he's asked questions and has no idea what reporters mean. And the medbeds video. JFC Part of it is his declining mental capacity. But also shows he's not in charge

If Schumer et al agree to Trump's demands, they can just resign, immediately. Let them know it.

We all know what that really means.
