democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks

I've decided that instead of wasting my own time to see if Grammarly has stolen my name and writing for use their business, I'd just email them to opt out and make them waste some time cleaning up their own goddamn mess.

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, butβ€”these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter it’s also incredibly stupid.

Florida Hasn’t Expanded Medicaid. Lawmakers Want To Add Work Requirements Anyway. - KFF Health News Florida is not mandated to add work requirements for Medicaid, because the state has not expanded eligibility to more low-income adults. But lawmakers have proposed requiring some adults in the state’...

Many states must adopt Medicaid work requirements by January under Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

That's not required in Florida, but lawmakers there are proposing the work requirements anyway.

The move baffles health care advocates. Some doubt it’s even legal.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
