Healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. But Republican lawmakers are doing everything they can stop extending subsidies for the ACA, forcing Americans to pay even more for their health insurance.

TBF, the entire world knows how to manipulate Trump at this point. I doubt Witkoff is telling the Russians anything they haven't already figured out.

But there's no doubt which side he's on.

I’m wondering where the “pro-life” people stand on this.
Unbelievable.

Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

One of my unused sketches from this week, about the idiocy of Bondi’s DOJ. As a Cincinnatian, I’m legally required to mention the classic WKRP Thanksgiving episode as many times as possible.

1) his first proposal was to eliminate the property tax

2) also says will get rid of income tax

3) will continue giving billions to private schools

4) says the school funding issue is an accounting squabble

So….no

None of what he says adds up
Does he have a plan for funding all this extra public education?

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.

WHYYYYY

This scandal makes Neville Chamberlain look like a master negotiator with a spine of steel…

Every step along the way should be investigated and publicly revealed.
King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

For the love of Herblock, please stop using AI to create knock off editorial cartoons. There are plenty of us human-ish editorial cartoonists who need actual work.
LOL, inside the White House today. Dude REALLY got red pilled this time!

The pink tax at work: my wife and I are at a Sierra store to get clothes for an upcoming hiking trip. Six pairs of men’s black Nike socks: $16.99

Three pairs of the exact same sock, but pink for the ladies: $19.99

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.

This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."

They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Literally just lectured about this!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.
Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

All of the individuals spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. They questioned the legality of the deadly strikes — many referred to them as murder — and expressed doubts that the new policy would be more effective at stemming the flow of illicit drugs into the United States.

I am a journalist. This encapsulates the problem I have w/ journalism in the Trump era. Journalists must remember they're still human. Call out sexism and the murderer of a journalist. Don't normalize dangerous people like Trump & MBS. Be a human first. Your humanity is not worth your objectivity.
I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me
