Notice how GOP leadership keeps shifting the narrative? First they dropped SNAP after it became clear Trump is blocking it. Now, after rejecting a fair offer from Democrats, they’re trying to convince Americans they don’t need healthcare.

This is going nowhere. The House is out of session with no plans to return soon, probably because of the Epstein files. The only CR they passed expires in a couple weeks anyway, and spending bills have to start in the House. This looks like chaos by design.

Fort Lauderdale is back off Puerto Rico.

RFK Jr had slashed the CDC’s program to monitor and track food-borne outbreaks back in August. Fast forward to now… deadly listeria outbreak across the U.S. has now caused 25 hospitalizations and 6 deaths across 18 states, one of the largest outbreaks. These events are linked.
