Health care costs skyrocket, courtesy of cruel Republicans
Millions of Americans had their health care costs significantly increase as of Jan. 1—a direct result of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” passed by Republicans and signed into law by Donald Trump.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Here’s why that’s especially important: If Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition to the Oversight Committee goes forward on August 11… we can’t just take what she says at face value. We have to verify it.

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
