On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

If you're wondering why Trump is all of a sudden pushing AI and dismissing concerns about its safety as a "hoax," just look at his stock trades.

White Auroras are a rare, visually stunning phenomenon observed in high-latitude regions like Finland, Norway, and Alaska. They occur when low-energy particles hit oxygen at high altitudes.

Obama’s real sin was interrupting America’s cherished tradition of turning every foreign-policy problem into a 20-year war.

here's today's post: "no one gives a shit about your White House helipad, you out-of-touch fuck" — fix the country you broke, asshole. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Trump is spending… -$95M for “D.C. Beautification,” including $5M to paint bronze horses gold -At least $300M to construct his ballroom -Nearly $15M to repaint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Meanwhile, millions of Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or healthcare. Priorities.

It should be clear by now that Trump does not actually care about "election integrity." If he did, he wouldn't have made cuts to the government agencies tasked with protecting our elections from foreign influence.

Investigations are ongoing but just four corporations control 54% of the fresh-cut salad industry, including Taylor Fresh Foods. Market concentration —> more pricing power —> higher profits —> more spending on lobbying and campaign donations —> more deregulation See the dangers of monopolization?

The Trump-Vance administration wants us to celebrate inflation rates that are *higher* than when they came into office. They promised to lower costs and keep us out of war, then did the opposite.

Pre-war: (1) The Strait of Hormuz was open (2) No US naval blockade (3) No fighting on multiple fronts (4) Iran had enriched Uranium Post-war Iran has: All of the above plus $25 billion of assets. More credibility than the US. A more radical regime. The Art of The Total Surrender.

Dogs are bred for different jobs, and it shows.

TRUMP: “If they rise, they rise.”

Leading with strength, generosity and compassion has been good for Americans and the world, but Donald Trump has abandoned these values. It’s no surprise when it’s what he’s doing at home too — abandoning working Americans to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

There's nothing more fundamental to our democracy than the freedom of speech and the freedom to speak out about our government.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

MAGA CULT.... STILL WORSHIP HIM! FUCK THEM ALL!

So good.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Wall Street’s biggest banks are not ruling out a $20 billion bailout for Argentina. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent still won’t say whether U.S. taxpayers will be left holding the bag. The American people deserve answers, and Trump’s foreign bailouts must end.

First, Trump made us pay higher coffee and beef prices to support a convicted coup-plotter in Brazil. Now, he wants American taxpayers to bail out his friend Milei in Argentina. Trump should stop raising prices for Americans and giving away our money to his corrupt buddies.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky
