For someone who says they love our beautiful veterans…I didn’t see any acknowledgement from our so called “president “ about Vietnam Veterans Day on Saturday…wonder why…?

This Admin has a way with numbers...their own agencies state that the number is 15.,000,000. a big number...interesting to note that if they reach their goal of 3000 deportations a week, that would be 5000 weeks or 96 years, seems like a daunting task

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Just wanted to share this graphic from KFF, the green sliver in this pie chart indicates the amount of Medicaid Spending for Emergency Medicaid in 2023. It's (0.4%) of the total Medicaid budget. Undocumented immigrants sometimes receive Emergency Medicaid.

It's time for another Biden vs. Trump price check - Month 7. Trump said he would get prices down on day one of his presidency. All of these prices are from FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) and are based on a national average. So far prices are going up not down on most items

Save the ACA! Healthcare is more important than selling cars. Save Medicaid, Medicare, and we do need the CDC, NIH, and FDA. Sheesh #USDemocracy

Reminder that ending the Affordable Care Act is part of Project 2025. It's been saving lives for 15 years. What us their obsession with killing it? #ACASavesLives #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

🚨If YOU live in 1 of these REPUBLICAN districts, these are the MOST vulnerable R's whose seats will be FLIPPED next year if they vote YES to cut Medicaid. Please CALL your representative the vote is TOMORROW & help SAVE this program. YOUR voice does matter and does make a DIFFERENCE. 202-224-3121.🚨

I laughed out loud when I heard this. It's right up there with the Big Faucet that will bring all the water California needs down from Canada. Are there examples like this from his first term? I'm sure there are but I honestly can't remember anything this delusional.

Trump: "We identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas." (This is a lie.)

What a brilliant president.

BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency. The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

He's bringing everyone together just as he promised.

Trump’s Christmas message fails to mention Jesus, forgiveness, peace, joy, of any other Christmas message. Instead, he threatens Panama, China, Canada, and Greenland and just rambles about himself and his grievances.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

You are up to date.
