The Trump regime’s response to inflation is to tell us we actually like it.
Brooke Rollins: "Instead of eating less beef as the price continued to rise, Americans began to eat more beef. And even though the price of a pound of ground beef was $6.50, most Americans say, 'I'm good with that. I want this protein for my family.' So they continue to buy."

🔥 “SHOW US THE EVIDENCE” @debunktionjunction.bsky.social shreds Trump’s claim of Iran having nukes (Iraq fiasco “Deja Vu”) at the heart of his pointless war spiking diesel/gas prices⛽️ Reminder: His own DNI Tulsi said they didn’t… THEN he said they were obliterated… THEN we went to war🤔

I wonder if “President Natalie” will be showing this to him…. on upside it’s so nice not to hear his voice! If anything of matter actually occurred it’ll get back to us. For a guy who needs photo ops to breathe. I would say he’s probably now in respiratory distress… Count the pluses!

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said. It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

You HAVE to listen to this Newsmax reporter trying to cope: “Yeah…they…okay, so there is no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there...this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit um…and um, obviously the ramifications are right here, you can’t hear what the president is saying…” 😂

www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... In response to Trump’s ban on media outlets from covering the White House, the White House is now facing a lawsuit as well as a refusal by other TV networks to provide TV pool coverage of the president’s activities on Monday.

He didn't want any negative publicity. Ok, for now he gets *no* direct voice. Time for the free press to take a stand. #ProudBlue
This is the way. I know it’s a delicate balance between covering legitimate public interest stories and First Amendment concerns, but it’s about time the press showed some balls.

Having been in a Armored Cavalry unit in Vietnam,an M-60 Tank from 1 to 1 1/2 miles away could decimate his stupid arch with a couple of well aimed HE rounds!What a stupid idea. Anyone trying to be a sniper would be sitting ducks from either Tanks or Aircraft.That arch would be a prime target!WTF?

This is about one thing and one thing alone. Steering our research dollars for cancer, heart disease, and new infectious diseases to Trump’s political allies and friends.
Breaking News: Federal officials are drafting an executive order that would help cement President Trump’s ability to control billions of dollars in scientific grants funded by the National Institutes of Health.

BREAKING: Paramount has reached a settlement with California and other states suing to block its acquisition of Warner Bros, per Bloomberg. The settlement comes after California AG Rob Bonta caved and stopped trying to block the merger. The final four holdout states have now conceded as well.

These AGs have to be aware that our opposition to the merger was because we didn’t want a MAGA billionaire alined with Trump to have more control over our media. Why would these Dem State settle with something that can damage their ability to message to the people?

12/ This is benefit loss by accumulation: another form, another review, another medical judgment, another deadline. Save every notice. Document disability & caregiver exemptions early. Appeal immediately. Help older relatives check their mail. Make every wrongful loss visible.

11/ A proposed Trump rule could reduce or end SSI for as many as 400,000 disabled & low-income older people living with family by treating shelter as income. It is proposed, not final. My earlier breakdown: bsky.app/profile/digi...
1/The Trump Admin is bringing back a "bedroom tax" for the disabled. By rewriting a single definition, they can now claim that a disabled adult living with parents is "receiving a gift." The result? A massive benefit cut that targets 400,000 Americans. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

10/ Indiana changed its disability-waiver assessment. Denials rose from under 1% to about 6%. A provider group projected 1,600 appeals. Families get 33 days to appeal a decision affecting whether someone stays home. www.windswell.org/from-the-ceo...

9/ CMS narrowed “medical frailty.” Diagnosis alone cannot verify it. States must judge whether a condition limits work, without a clear federal standard. www.kff.org/medicaid/the...

8/ Republicans say disabled people are exempt. But disability does not automatically mean exemption. People may need records or provider certification, then prove it again. Caregivers face the same trap. Earlier warning: bsky.app/profile/digi...
1/7 The "Work Requirement Trap" is coming for the community. Starting Jan 1, 2027, OBBBA forces millions of Medicaid enrollees to document 80 hours of "work or community engagement" a month. If you’re a caregiver, here’s why this is existential threat. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

7/ Starting in 2027, Medicaid expansion adults must renew every six months instead of yearly. CBO expects most losses after the added checkpoint to be procedural, not findings that people no longer qualify. Full explanation: bsky.app/profile/digi...
1/ Republicans found a way to cut Medicaid without telling millions they no longer qualify: make them reapply twice as often, then count on eligible people missing the paperwork. That is not a glitch. The government’s own budget math depends on it. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

6/ In a six-state review, paperwork caused over 72% of studied SNAP losses among seniors. Meanwhile, home-care workers are losing hours while benefit systems demand more of their time. I traced who profits from this maze: bsky.app/profile/digi...
1/ 🧵 A home care worker who keeps an 84 year old out of a nursing home now has less time to do it, because her own government benefits got harder to keep. Shorter deadlines. More paperwork. Fewer office hours to call for help. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

5/ Older people are not all protected. SNAP work rules now reach ages 55–64. Medicaid work rules reach some adults through 64. People 65+ are generally outside those work rules, but still face SNAP paperwork, SSI changes, home-care pressure & nursing-home cuts.
