Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” would:
🩺 Strip Medicaid from 13.7M people
🥣 Cut SNAP by $300B
🏫 Deny aid to 5M college students
🎒 Funnel $20B into private school vouchers
All to fund tax breaks for the rich.

National security ain’t supposed to be a family affair, but apparently Pete Hegseth missed that memo.
Leaking classified military plans—TWICE—the second time on a personal Signal chat to friends and family? That man has no business being Defense Secretary. He’s a threat, not a leader.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
