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.
They aren’t this dumb. That is the problem. They get paid lots of money to lie to their audience.
Trump is once again weaponizing government power for revenge. Schiff, James, and Cook are the latest targets—dragged into “fraud” investigations pulled straight from Trump’s enemies list. This isn’t justice. It’s political retribution. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/selective-...
Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it

They’re totally going to do this.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Thing is… the Orange Shitgibbon wasn’t shot, two other people died for his farce though, sadly.
🙃 #GavinNewsom #EpsteinFiles
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
This text is quoted accurately. It is also a clarifying lie. Totalitarian governments know that normal people do not have time or resources to research every health, economic, or security issue. Their project of attacking all expertise is a project of seizing trust & thus power for themselves.
THIS IS ALL MERRICK GARLAND’S FAULT.
The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Th fvck he doesn’t. He likes his perks more than America and voted like they told him to.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
I know there’s a lot going on but in June ICE took custody of a U.S.-born citizen in Chicago, Illinois and handed him over to a private contractor, which confined him in a hotel without a phone or other form of communication for five days. The city and state aren’t ready for what’s coming next.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
We are suffering in the dumbest of times because of these kind of charlatans.
Eff both of these assholes. Neither are serious people.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
LOL yeah thought so. What a little bitch.
Fuck temu goebbels. I hope I get to outlive him and to be able to piss on his grave marker.
The problem is him, that is the simple truth. Just him and the republicans.
I would definitely pay the carnival barker for a shot like they do for the dunk tank and pie throwing contests.
None of them know how to read let alone read the constitution. She is right.
a person offering teens free advice on how to take their own life: a monster, immediate jail for life at best a person who owns a company that makes money off giving teens advice on how to take their own life: a genius, this will save civilization, we must give you all the money
Most people, including both men and women, are much tougher than shitler.
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
Meiselas: I saw a headline, “Trump Stamps Dictator Chic on Washington.” And they don't even see the problem with that. I feel like one of the last survivors sometimes in a zombie movie, where the zombie hasn’t gotten me yet.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
👇👇
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.
In June, officials at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) moved a live copy of the Social Security Administration’s Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT) into a cloud environment “without any independent security or oversight mechanisms in place,”
No brush, no pencil. Just a typewriter. Artist James, using a 1930s Smith Premier typewriter, typed out this painting. #art #printer #unique #typewriter #illustration
note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
Listen, I can’t stand Missouri Congressman Mark Alford, but we can all appreciate that he shows up to town halls and takes the metaphorical beatings. He deserves every bit of the verbal abuse he encounters. But the fact of the matter is he is actually showing up to town halls. Most won’t.
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
Who did this?
Herr Himmler says what?
Our constitutional republic does not have any provision which allows a president to enact a criminal statute by executive order that would put people in prison. bsky.app/profile/atru...
The lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, Maurene Comey, was fired 8 days before her interview with Deputy AG Todd Blanche on July 24-25, 2025. There was no official announcement or explanation. It's funny how careers end right before the questions begin.
I ran into a MAGA man I know in real life yesterday. While walking through the same set of doors, he let the door close in my face two times. Yes, MAGA folks have a problem with critical thinking and processing, but they are also the rudest and crudest and uncivilized people. Troglodytes.
This is what dictators sound like
My friend just posted this and now I TOTALLY WANT A PROSTHETIC ROBO DINOSAUR TAIL.
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Moore’s military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
The revenge presidency, with Calvinball as the national sport, is in full swing. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
My law firm is currently litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. This includes the Ohio case we filed on Friday night and the redistricting case challenging Texas' new congressional map. I am thankful for our clients willing to wage these fights. They, not the lawyers, are the heroes.
We all know the goal was always to “own the libs.” And in chasing that, too many have given up their own freedoms just to claim a hollow “win.” What they don’t see is that the monster they fed never stops, it eventually comes for us all. And now their silence is deafening.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
THIS is the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Reposting this for some reason.
Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
Criticize Trump, and the FBI shows up at your door wrapped in the excuse of “no one is above the law.” For all his rants about others weaponizing the system, it seems weaponization is the only thing he knows how to do.
What's going to happen when iCE kidnaps soccer players from African and South American nations competing at the World Cup simply because ICE has a habit of profiling. Simply put, if the teams decide to go for a walk in between games, will they be picked up? Mark my words, this will be a reality.
The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.
Sure Jan…
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
Written and spoken in first person.
Devastating news.
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!
Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

Trump made it necessary for the European leaders to come.
Easy there Joe. You were a tea bagger. This shit doesn’t totally leave you. They are right to be wary of you. You and your group were the start of this insanity. While I support you in what you are doing now, I still wouldn’t trust you 100%.
What the feck is he prattling on about? JFC people that still support this loony are just as crazy.
How I yearn for the day when all that gold crap is removed, along with the guy who put it there. The stain, on the other hand, will never fully wash away.
BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down. Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed? This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.
"Newsom’s threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
Trump is a traitor. He’s a traitor to America, he’s a traitor to Ukraine, he’s a traitor to NATO and the free world. And Zelensky is meeting with him today. Zelensky should tell Trump to fuck off. But he won’t. If you’re the praying type, say a prayer today for Ukraine.
All these European leaders came to DC today to stand up for Zelensky & Ukraine. They came to DC today because they don’t trust Trump. They came to DC today because they know Trump is on Putin’s side. Shame on us America. Shame on us for putting a traitor in the White House.
2023, THE MEDIA: Egg prices are generally steady, but in a few places, they went up as much as $0.07. Here's why Biden should be impeached for that. 2025, THE MEDIA: Fresh fruit and vegetable prices are jumping a whopping 40%. Here's why the White House tariffs are a winning strategy for consumers.
ALABAMA: “The verdict is in. The state’s tough immigration law just isn’t working out… American workers not mentally or physically fit enough to last one day…”
My daughter is 13 and has social media, but I don't let her post on it. She saw several stories and videos of mass kidnappings and told me about it. I asked her to find a credible source to back it up. When she couldn't, she realized she had been duped. It's that easy.

In America, we don’t use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in their own democracy. Yet more than a dozen Border Patrol agents showed up Thursday in downtown LA at a rally Gov. Gavin Newsom held on congressional redistricting an event that had nothing to do with immigration.
@governor.ca.gov is THE most vocal democratic leader we have. We need more people speaking out.
My own view is that it was *really* smart of D.C. to wait for the Trump admin. to overplay its hand before suing. It's one thing to invoke the emergency police support provision of the Home Rule Act in specific cases; it's something else entirely to claim it allows the feds to *take over* the MPD.
