“Short-term pain.” Tell that to the Uber driver who can't afford to show up to work with gas prices so high. Tell that to the retired couple who just skipped their dinner. And tell that to those who are being forced out of retirement to cover their electric bill.

Every American should hear about this story. As millions lose health care, Trump is demanding $1.7 billion in taxpayer dollars for Jan. 6 rioters and other allies. The most corrupt president in history, and you’re paying the price.

#Ostkrieg #Easternfront #OTD 17Dec1941(Crimea) German 11th Army resumes attack on Sevastopol using heavy artillery and air assaults. Gains are minor. Sevastopol was finally conquered but that would have to wait till 3Jul1942

And that’s why my dogs are named Franklin (center), Roosevelt (left), and Truman (right) …

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative. Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

The Trump administration, everyone. They’re partying while families across the nation go hungry.

And of course a Federal Court in Texas struck down the CFPB rule that would have removed medical debt from credit reports.

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

New market manipulation scheme just dropped

Real talk…

I guess this is when we get to introduce the nation to the tale of the Bonwit Teller building: news.artnet.com/art-world/do...

So it's too expensive to extend health care tax credits that millions of families rely on but not too expensive to spend $200 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? These corrupt grifters are robbing taxpayers blind.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

I know! Let’s raise tariffs and healthcare costs, too! That should help make things affordable! 🙄

Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed. I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.

I’ve had the good fortune of missing these ads entirely. I can’t believe our tax dollars are funding this crap. F*CK ICE‼️

This woman is incredibly strong; I’m so proud of her. People are getting so tired of this Shit!

A 20 year old black woman was just sitting in DC and EVERY agency possible shows up to arrest her!
