Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Millions are struggling with the cost of food, housing, and other basic necessities. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead. How does Trump respond? By saying "affordability" is a "Democrat scam" and a "hoax." Hello?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Don’t look now, but there really IS a Trump healthcare plan. But lol spoiler: It looks a lot like what Democrats have been demanding. Will the GOP cave and pass this, or will they torch their own electoral hopes by allowing the ACA subsidies to expire? My write-up in the replies.

The mental and physical decline can no longer be ignored by the main stream media. It's about damn time.
The realities of Trump aging in office:
He appears to doze off during events.
His public appearances mostly occur during a short window: Between noon and 5pm.
He sits while others stand.
His covers bruises with makeup.
He had an MRI scan that he tried to hide from the public.

In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.
Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
