George Michael hits #1 today in 1987 with “Faith”.
“.. It was very much about having faith in yourself,” he said. “It wasn’t a religious song at all — it was about believing in yourself when everything around you is changing and people are questioning what you’re doing.”

Quite the day for Trump: The defeat below, the defeat in Indiana, the defeat on the latest Letitia James case, the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, really bad poll numbers (his handling of the economy numbers threatening to fall into the 20s) He's losing it politically as fast as he is mentally.
Say it again for the folks in the back: "The first time the House has voted to overturn a Trump executive order in this term." 🙌

Exactly. And this has been true of much of the Republican Party for some time.
This is a fault line I wrote about for @liberalcurrents.com.
The right is united in their bigotry but divided over the best way to express it.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.
And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

You're in a car accident. So you call all the ERs from the ambulance and see who's offering a special. Hell, maybe you can ask hospital B to beat hospital A's price. It'll be like car dealerships. "How much can you spend a month, Randi?" "What will it take to get you into this ER today?"
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Ah, yes. Car accident consumers. Cancer consumers. Arthritis consumes. Lymphoma consumers. Amputee consumers. If they see the "actual prices," they'll stop consuming and die.
