We the people will hold these Nazis accountable.

We will expose all of them.

We will break these companies.

We will shame anyone who is complicit.

We will RageAgainstTheRegime.org.

Health Insurers Are Hiking Premiums as Their Profits Balloon The US’s six largest health insurers reported massive profits last year, doling out billions on stock buybacks and divid

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year.

Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders.

This is why we need Medicare for All.

The current administration is nothing short of useless, and even worse, more dangerous by the minute, to the average American. We’re fucking TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT.

The US Environmental Protection Agency’s retreat from science endangers the health of people and the planet From detecting pollutants to assessing health risks, the US EPA’s Office of Research and Development has long ensured that environmental decisions are grounded in credible, cutting-edge science.

THIS. Not enough people are focusing on the puppet masters. Trump is on a downward spiral. It’s time to pay attention to those working in the background.

Maybe it’s my algorithm, and I’m missing things, but shouldn’t we be WAY more focused on taking down the people holding the puppet strings now? Feels like Tr*mp is in a death spiral. He’ll take himself out. Time to start worrying about his puppet masters.

Lol. Yeah, that's kind of their modus operandi.

WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK FOR THIS! That's how far gone this shit is. Now that we're here, yes, we have an obligation to support the teachers, and protect the campuses, of course.

Dear Robyn:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding public broadcasting. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this
important issue. Public broadcasting has played an important role in providing educational programming and increasing access to
information for every American. Local affiliates, in particular, serve their communities by offering content that reflects
regional interests and needs. These stations are valuable sources of news, education, and cultural programming that directly
benefit the people they serve. However, I am concerned that content produced and disseminated by NPR and PBS has become increasingly biased, which
raises questions about their role as publicly funded broadcasters. Public broadcasting should be a trusted source of
information, and that trust depends on maintaining journalistic integrity and avoiding partisan narratives.
Congress has the responsibility to manage taxpayer funds wisely and to eliminate unnecessary spending. In today's media
landscape, where Americans have access to an unprecedented variety of news sources, information platforms, and
educational content, we must carefully assess whether continued federal subsidies for broadcasting are warranted. If
taxpayers are funding media programming, Congress must ensure that any subsidized content adheres to the highest
standards of journalistic integrity, educational value, and political neutrality.
I supported the Rescissions Act of 2025 (H.R. 4), which rescinds $535 million annually in the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting's forward-funded appropriations for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 and passed the Senate on July 17, 2025. This
legislation passed the House of Representatives on July 18, 2025, and I look forward to seeing President Trump sign this
bill into law. This measured approach is an important step to address our growing national debt.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN

From Senator John Cornyn's office with regards to my email petitioning them NOT to defund NPR and PBS. They might as well have said: "the government no longer wishes to fund the truth."

Sidenote: as an Epstein whistleblower, I cannot do justice to just how dizzying, fucked up & unmooring the past few days have been.

I’ll write more about it—but wow is the craven hypocrisy & knowing dishonesty of folks demanding the release of a list that never existed & child porn is repulsive.

A special hardcover edition is coming soon to Barnes & Noble 👀 — but for now, Erased is only available directly from me as an audiobook and ebook. You can get it here if you’re ready to dive in.

The fact that people didn't know about Trump's history with Epstein speaks to the information inequality pervasive in the US, and I think this would be a good time for reporters to resurface those stories
