Senator Warren: How much would it cost to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits for just one year? Witness: About $30 billion. Senator Warren: The Trump administration says this war [with Iran] will cost $50 billion. That means we could help all the people pushed off their health care and still have an additional $20 billion left over.

Instead of going to war with Iran, we could cover health care for millions of Americans.

And still have $20 billion left over.

PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

Excellent job! Thank you!

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered.
We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.

And where is Trump?

Golfing.

Trump pardoned every single insurrectionist. Every single one.

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

Consolidated media should be illegal under monopoly laws. Free the press.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Good for them! 🫶

$170 billion for ICE & privatived concentration camps

$100 billion to invade & occupy Venezuela

$20 billion to prop up Argentina

$10 billion for his so called "Board of Peace"

Billions for a ballroom, the Kennedy Center remodel, his triumphal Trump arch, renaming navy ships & military bases

CNN doing PR for Johnson here by claiming "the general practice is for presidents, select military officials & select government officials to lie in honor" without noting exceptions. Like Billy Graham. So White preacher gets to lie in state but not Black one?

Undocumented immigrants don’t vote
Trump was not “exonerated” re: Epstein
The board of peace is a huge grift
The Melania movie was a bribe
You pay the tariffs
The boat bombings are murder
The ceasefire is not a ceasefire
Ice is not targeting criminals

And on and on

Yeah, US Olympians are woke. Deal with it. Sports have always been political — it's just a question of who's speaking out.

'At a moment when your government is rounding people up and building camps to concentrate them — and you know *everyone in the world knows it* — some ambivalence when you’re at an international competition is not just understandable but unavoidable." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Thoroughly disgusted by this……

GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔

Nothing to see here, folks!

We are being looted so hard by these crooks

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

CNN headline that says Trump delivers a deadly blow to EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.

It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

Minnesota showed the country what informed and organized citizens can achieve. Their resolve is forcing the federal government to back away from an operation that never should have happened. We honor their courage and we mourn the price they paid. Real accountability must follow.

🚨"The white community is finally seeing what [Black people] have been saying all along—how government cover ups happen, how those in power lie and manipulate," arrested ICE church protester Nekima Levy Armstrong on Trump cover-ups of Renee Good & Alex Pretti murders.

Shock Poll: Americans Miss Joe Biden’s Economy Here’s what they’re worried about.

Jonathan V Last: "In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man's capricious, destructive governance."

It's just absolutely insane the the American public reflexively thinks Republicans are better for the economy. They're better at giving uber-wealthy people tax breaks. That's it

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

What a coincidence!

Yes.

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.

I watched the show again this morning.

Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.

It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.

…

We rewatched the halftime show and the closing is so powerful. Bad Bunny’s final messages during his Super Bowl performance:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
“Together, we are America.”

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
