We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.
Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

The SAVE plan helped millions of people stay above water while repaying student loan debt.
Now that Trump has officially shut it down, borrowers may now have to spend hundreds more per month paying off their loans.
How is this supposed to lower people’s cost of living?

The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.
Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Can you say pregnant? Lucille Ball couldn't.
#OTD in 1952, I Love Lucy episode “Lucy Is Enceinte” (French for pregnant) aired. The cast couldn’t say pregnant, only euphemisms like expecting.
It was controversial to have a pregnant woman on air--advertisers balked & the episode was almost banned.

PSA: When Trump says Biden had high inflation, he leaves out that it had come down by the time he left, and was among the lowest in the world when Trump took over — and that the inflation was a global issue everyone experienced post-COVID.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
