What if I told you the best healthcare model for America already exists...and the only reason we don’t use it is because it works too well?

You’re not imagining it. The system isn’t broken. It’s designed this way.👇

To put a point on this. A business that wishes to hire (let's say 100) H1-B visa holders can negotiate a discount off the $10 million fee by stroking Donald's ego.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Trump reportedly owns more than $600,000 in shares of Nvidia and Apple.

Both companies have financially benefited from special concessions Trump made to them while in office.

The president is profiting off the policies he sets. This is corruption in its rawest form.

Once upon a time, Barack Obama's $400,000 speaking fee and Hillary Clinton's $8 million book deal raised eyebrows.

Now, President Trump has already made $3.4 billion *during* his presidencies. That's a stratospherically different level of profiting.
Opinion | The brazenness of Trump’s profiteering is a billion-dollar scandal
After leaving office in 2001, Bill Clinton signed a “record book deal” for $10 million. The amount of money Trump has made has no historical equivalent.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Before you have the reflexive American reaction of “haha, the president has no power over this, it’s A Distraction”, consider that the goal here is not to change anything, but rather to prepare the terrain to declare any election loss as having been rigged.

I stand by that.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case.

Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Have seen zero news about how the BBB lets ACA premium subsidies expire at the end of 2025.

The high deductible bronze plan for me and my son would be $1350 a month without those subsidies (it’s $176 month now). An increase of $14,089 per year.

I think people will forgo health insurance.
