They want to shift your attention with the DC shooting, from these topics:
- Epstein files coverup
- White House secretly colluding with Russians
- Kushner and Witkoff likely committed espionage
- failing economy
- failed soy trade deal with China

I absolutely think a huge portion of people don’t realize what Medicaid, but more so Chip and ACA plans are because they’re called so many different things.
Most are using MCOs too, so the letters re: insurance come from “UnitedHealth” or “Aetna” or “Molina” so it’s another added layer.

yep! “medicare for all” has driven me nuts for years. I figured a lot of folks maybe don’t realize what medicaid is since it is often called something unique to the state that administers it (Oregon health plan, here).
but ‘medicaid for all’ is how we get where we need to go.

Medicare for All isn’t the solution. It’s just restructuring our current abysmal for profit system to..oh… yeah… it’s still for profit healthcare. Poor people still won’t be able to access care. It’s literally the same.
MEDICAID FOR ALL is the only acceptable solution to the healthcare crisis.

Absolutely. Doing this remotely with drones or bombs is no different than pulling up in a boat and shooting them in the water. If this isn’t an illegal order, hard to imagine what could be.
And unlike some of the finer questions of “was the president’s inherent Art 2 powers in play”, shouldn’t offing people who are hors de combat be clearly known to be an illegal order all the way down the line to the lowest Seaman?

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.
