This will happen here in the US
Status Coup captured raw footage from the ongoing civil unrest in France. Originally sparked by high school and university student blockades, the demonstrations have broadened into widespread protests against soaring living costs, underfunded public services, and broader economic grievances.

If these people could work 80 hours a month, they probably wouldn't need Medicaid, you dumbshits.
1/ Montana just flipped switch to start kicking ppl off benefits. Starting Oct 1, the state can deny or cut Medicaid for about 70,000 adults who can't prove 80 hours a month of work, school, or volunteering. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is now real. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The average combine harvester uses around 300 gallons of diesel fuel each day.
IOWA is going blue? It's actually possible. Let's be clear. IOWA is a farm state. Pretty much 80% of Iowa is farming. So with diesel over $6.30, it makes it impossible for farmers to make a profit. How many will go broke? A friend of mine is a farmer and she said they have 50 diesel using vehicles.

Is it really so hard to calculate how much Target's employees get in Medicaid and SNAP, then tax Target for that amount?
Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

speaking in front of placards that read "FAUCI MUST ROT IN PRISON," White House official Peter Navarro downplays covid -- which killed one million Americans! -- as "not that infectious" and only dangerous for people with comorbidities

These parents should be charged, convicted, and sterilized.
NEW: For decades, Idaho laws have allowed parents who belong to the Followers of Christ and other faith-healing sects to pray rather than seek medical treatment as their children die. At least five sets of parents have lost multiple children.

When he does that again, all the reporters in the room should silently stand up and walk out.
I wasn’t at all surprised by the behavior of the demented madman Americans insisted on making President, but I was horrified and sickened by the extraordinary and indescribable cowardice displayed by Kristen Holmes’ fellow WH correspondents. Every one of them should be jobless.
