Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
That’s fake Melanie.
I don't know what video footage the guardian saw. It is absolutely clear, with no doubt that he intended to punch her directly in the face, BOTH times.
Democrats have got to sound the alarm. Trump administration dismantling Medicare right here.
However evil you think this is, it’s worse: “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
BREAKING: Denmark summons top U.S. diplomat after the national broadcaster reported that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland.
Says the convicted felon on 34 counts.
Hope someone’s screen capturing those faces.
Don't forget Epstein, tariffs and Ukraine. These are Trump's weak points. And they're serious.
The corruption of the US Supreme Court has arguably been the most serious single contributor to the US's transformation into autocracy
Capture those faces.
The middle ground is abolishing ICE and prosecuting ICE and top administration officials in a Nuremberg style process. They're putting immigrants in concentration camps and torturing them. There's no middle ground to be had. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
everyone involved needs to be permanently barred from public office, for starters www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.
Weird how little interest there is in this story after all the media concern (in retrospect very well justified) about Biden's health and mental state
Anyone look at the connections between drumpf and Clark construction? Seems like there’s supposed to be some kind of bid process. No?
Pretty sure the Germans surrendered unconditionally. Probably not a whole lot of negotiations happened there.
“If this is what’s being done today, we must ask: what else are we surrendering to unchecked surveillance under the guise of enforcement?” interc.pt/47EV6Sw
This for real? Is this how the Dems decide things? Ffs
Is anyone in America gullible enough to believe this? To ignore the overt corruption that led to this? I mean I know a sucker is born every minute but you've really got to be a once-in-a-lifetime stooge to fall for this.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about a lot of things but she still did testify that she and Jeffrey Epstein would visit Mar a Lago and knew Trump well. She didn’t help Trump. She buried him. Reminds me of this: “I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them.”
He's in Epstein's flight logs. There are a dozen different points of contact for Donald in Epstein's black book. And I've never seen him happier than in the NBC footage where he's partying with Epstein. I challenge anyone to find video where Donald is more visibly joyful than when he's with Epstein.
FIFA sure spending a lot of time in that golden office.
Todd Blanche gave Ghislaine Maxwell immunity to talk to him. This thing just reeks more and more every day.
Have we had enough yet? No?
Seriously, when is enough, enough? This guy needs to be removed asap yet everyone keeps trying to normalize him.
We’ve got armored personnel carriers roaming the streets of DC, “investigations” of political enemies, masked secret police brutalizing immigrants and U.S. citizens, SCOTUS rubber-stamping unconstitutional orders, GOP reps gerrymandering at the president’s order. America is an authoritarian state.
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome pos?
She’s a known liar so take this with huge boxes of salt.
Once again, republicans are allowed to talk shit about entire parts of our country and get away with it. This is the president’s son. Replace this with any prominent Democrat and it would be nonstop coverage. It’s more than clear now this is a choice.
Where are the other Democratic governors with a trifecta? As of right now, Republicans are set to gain 8 seats — and that’s after factoring in CA. Newsom cannot be the only Democratic Governor to fight fire with fire. We need folks around the country to step up and meet the moment.
Lemme reiterate something because it's so crazy. The Democratic state that regulates Palantir - one of the world's largest AI/surveillance companies - is convening an emergency legislative session to try to pass a bill shielding AI giants from consumer protection lawsuits. This is happening TODAY.
Far right doesn’t have a monopoly on “militias”
Gets worse every time there’s a new pic or video. What a shit show.
Goddamn. The Oval Office looks worse every time there’s a new picture or video. 🤮
Can we please get rid of him. Enough already.
I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.
Yes! Their written agreement is meaningless.
There was a written agreement between US, RU, and UKR that RU wouldn’t invade. They did it anyway. Their written word means nothing.
Release the Epstein Files!
Keep in mind that EVERYTHING he says or does going forward is to distract from the EPSTEIN files. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
Every ice person “hired” during these years must be fired and prosecuted.
Not any more.
All crime or only federal crime?

"This is, at the moment, the official voice of the US government: a rancid mixture of trolling, cruelty, propaganda, and crass jokes about the human suffering they’re creating."
Can it ever come back from this?
the USA has fallen.
It’s not smoke. It’s fire. Multiple investigations—including those led by Republicans—concluded Russia attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. The GOP-led Senate intel. comm. said the Trump campaign blocked attribution to Russia—that is, aided and abetted Putin by denying the attack occurred.
In a sane world this would mean impeachment and removal.
In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.
It is increasingly clear that the majority of federal law enforcement officers do little or no real work, hence having the time and resources to do what they've been doing under Trump. Whole agencies need to be zeroed out, with employees sued to pay back salaries and benefits wrongly obtained.
Israel’s genocide was made possible because we never had a reckoning about Iraq. “A Stranger in Your Own City” by Ghaith Abdul Ahad is an absolute masterpiece about the catastrophe that enveloped Iraq after the invasion. I cannot recommend it enough.
At least they aren’t cybersucks.
What’s the mayor doing about this? Or has she just thrown up her hands and said whatever?
These are the cops so many people were worried about being federalized. They’re pos’s just like all the rest.
This fits pretty squarely in the classic definition of assault in that it a) is unlawfully directed at constitutionally protected activity and (b) causes the victim to reasonably fear imminent physically harmful contact
So this is the police department everyone was so concerned about being federalized? They’re just as bad as ICE and all the rest.
This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
With Benjamin Netanyahu proclaiming that he's on a "historic mission," it's worth remembering previous leaders who've used the same language about their "historic mission." These include George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, and Adolf Hitler.
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
👀 INVESTIGATION: Millions of Americans may now be unknowingly trapped in employment agreements whose fine print lets their employers saddle them with fees & massive debt if they try to quit their jobs, according to court records reviewed by The Lever. www.levernews.com/corporate-am...
Can someone file a lawsuit to stop this?
it's crazy how we just take for granted now that the president is a deranged racist
This is an illiberal act of absolute authoritarianism and distraction from his unsavory political problems. American democracy is in free fall. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
This was never not going to happen. Of course food is rotting in the fields.
He’ll never get my vote.
Prepare yourselves for scenes of Trump agents roughing up *citizens* in the streets of DC this week. America will look like Russia in the eyes of the world once Trump issues his takeover-by-force order in a capital city where crime is actually plummeting, not rising. He’s sick.

SFF friends: this is a good 75% of my energy/climate work right now. Dealing with the power demands of incipient data centers on the electric grid, and how those demands are resulting in more expensive and dirtier electricity for everyone.
There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.
What’s with the green symbols in the photo? Is it some kind of anti-ai thing?
And you spread that disgusting false label for him don't you! He's a child sex trafficker and we deserve to know who the pedophiles are! RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES NOW!
Cook openly bribed the president with a large hunk of gold in a televised performance of obeisance and walked away with a valuable tariff exemption.
Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism. It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening. Yet people who drool ‘freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.
Where does that money go?
What a shit website.
It's murdering for its own sake
Will they have time during inauguration?
There’s no room!
Hard to wrap one’s head around this. Meanwhile the rest of the world is taking the lead in science and technology. China will likely be on the moon before we’ve even built a rocket.
And the world will let them.
Exactly! It’s not like it’s a tank.
Can’t imagine they’d be hard to destroy. 🤷

You don’t know Trump then. He never uses his own money. It’s always OPM.
