The government isn't giving any money to billionaires.

Also from the article
"Johnson cried foul, noting he altered his bill "dramatically" in recent weeks in order to seek the support of Peters and other Democrats. He also noted scores of unions are backing the proposal."

I knew you would be dishonest.

The whole thing is slightly silly, but there does seem to be a liiiiiitle there, there.

If one of us walked out of work every day and someone was there to throw a sandwich at us, I think we'd want something done about it.

why does the greatest Country on the planet seem to be unable to provide healthcare to its citizens?

Pretty simple really.

Because Elite Democrats took it upon themselves to ignore the other party and ram through a PoS legislation that only helped the insurance companies.

Now when the SHTF Pelosi says... I am outta here.

Democrats block bill to pay Federal workers for the shutdown

At this point, if you support republicans and Trump, it's because you're a garbage human being.

Just stop... Democrats could have folded on their subsidies for the failed ACA a month ago and no one would have missed a meal.

You're making JPW look smart.

If it's so broken what is the republican plan to fix it, since they are in total control?

LMAO So now it's the republicans duty to fix the mess Bummer left behind.... got it.

What is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

There is a woman being raped in Africa somewhere right now. How does this document protect her in the moment she is being raped?

Answer, it doesnt. Until another man comes along and beats up the man who was raping her, she has no rights at that moment. She only has the right to be taken. It's called nature. Those are the "rights" we have.

Anything else is just bullshit and liberal/progressive wishful thinking.

If someone else has to provide you the "right", it isnt a right.

#2,

Sandwich sales will be going up.

Protestors will be tossing sandwiches now..

"Revenues of $972,900 were up 10% from the second quarter " but still about what Taylor Swift brought in over 15 minutes on her Eras Tour " and below where they were tracking in 2023, when annual revenues totaled $4.1 million."

Fun stuff.

Judge Jeanine Boxwine flames out horribly in her first case of assault with a breadly weapon.

Don't Bread on Me judge boxwine.

This week keeps on getting better and better.

The "injured" officer testified the sandwich "exploded" all over him and he could smell the onions and mustard all day long (the horrors) however they offered no proof that it did and the video evidence shows the sandwich falling to the ground still in the wrapper and definitely not exploded.

Shouldn't there be some sort of perjury issue here?

The GOP doesn't care.

They are starving children and families to force the democrats into taking away health insurance from the middle class.

This is all out of Project 2025 which ALL OF THEM LIED WHEN THEY SAID THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

Then they downplay the ass kicking they got on Tuesday. From local elections to school boards to state elections to governorships to mayoral races trumpism became toxic.

Every single member of Klanned Karenhood running for school boards in PA lost.

The 10 month reign of fascism has awoken the voters.

RFK Jr 'disgracefully runs away' after pharma exec collapses at the White House

Bannon: 'Destroyed the Republican Party for a Generation'

Yeah, no chance of that. I thought when Trump committed his insurrection and the GOP failed to hold him to account, that would be it for the Repubs. But four short years later, we handed control of all three branches of government to the very same folks.

The stupidity of the American people should never be underestimated.

Lairmore had testified that the sandwich "exploded all over" his chest and claimed he could smell mustard and onions. But a photo showed that the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after it hit Lairmore in his bulletproof vest.

"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?" Anton Chigurh, No Country for Old Men.

Her auspicious early career achievements withstanding, Nancy became part of the the 21st century Democrat party rule, and as such she became partially responsible for helping Trump get elected, not once, but twice. She ended up undermining Trump's first impeachment inquiry by rushing through the process and prioritizing politics and maintaining power over deliberate fact-finding and patiently presenting a compelling case to not only skeptical Republicans, but to the American people. That will be her legacy.

100% agree.
She was absolutely incredible in her role and in what she acheieved.
Her record on bring to a vote and winning is unmatched by any Speaker in our history.

I respect her morality and integrity.

Never understood the knee-jerk hostility some self-proclaimed libs have had with Nancy.

She was one of the most effective Speakers of the House Dems have had, passing pretty much every major initiative under Obama.

Everything was held up by the Dem Senate refusing to throw out the filibuster when they had the chance (when they had the majority).

Here's another "new" word for Old Yeller: "ignoramus."

I may actually like the Peterson's version best.

But I think that it's a bit interesting that Gen Z takes to this very reflective song written about her changes:

"Nicks told the New York Times, "I wrote Landslide' in 1973, when I was 27, and I did already feel old in a lot of ways. I'd been working as a waitress and a cleaning lady for years. I was tired."

"Nicks concluded, "Landslide' was the decision. When you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills,' it's the only time in my life that I've lived in the snow. But looking up at those Rocky Mountains and going, Okay, we can do it. I'm sure we can do it.'"

A sign of optimism from the Stare kids would be promising... not that they have much to be happy about. I remember that when I was their age, we had the assasinations of RFK, JFK, and MLK, then Nixon and Vietnam.

We weren't very optimistic, either. We just used other drugs than TicToc.

what's quiet is any thread or comment around here
about the new AG that wants to murder gop AND THEIR CHILDREN.

BUT AGAIN...scum sucking trash are okay with that.

Because we don't freak out over your fake news like "millions of illegal voters" "children identifying as cats" or "obama's fake birth certificate."

Everyone dumb enough to vote for trump deserves exactly what they're getting. It's too bad the rest of us have to suffer along with the morons.

Because they got played like a ten dollar hoe.

By hacked, do they mean a back door installed by DOGE was utilized?

"the dead men had indeed been running drugs but were not narco-terrorists"

What crimes against America were they convicted of, that warrants their execution?

About 25 years too late imho.

#49...'Tis like shooting fish in a barrel ...

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats"the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

->Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

Didn't take much for Trump to turn you into a little anti-Constitution, anti-American skidmark, did it?

Who said there is a RIGHT to apply to a country that's not yours?

The EU charter when Hungary signed up to be an EU member.

I thought she was already gone. 'Spose I won't miss her much.

She was a hardass at times when she needed to be, so there's that.

But overall, it's a new world, and folks in her district would probably be better served by someone with a few more breaths in them.

R or D, people don't really need to be in office for decades and decades. We can thank the old-time racist Senate Democrats who held power from the 50s to the early 80s for institutionalizing a lot of the crap we're living through today.

Debt burden: New York City has one of the highest municipal debt burdens in the nation, primarily due to its capital needs and reliance on bonds to finance projects.
Debt service: In fiscal year 2020, debt service costs for city-supported debt were slightly below 11% of tax revenues.

Funny how you care so much about the debt of a city you don't live in, while you applaud the debt incurred nationwide to give tax cuts to billionaires.

Rather than reviewing almost 250 years of US history how about we view your account of the Buffoon's 5 or so years.

You should start with credible citations to the Buffoon's contributions to "world peace." Remember, if the source is the Buffoon it's not credible.

I've never understood the latino community's attraction to Trump. It makes no sense to me.

Misdirection only works for so long. I've known about this business with the photos of trump with two young girls bare to the waist ever since Pam Bondi had to appear before congress and testify under oath. She knew the question about the photos would come up while she was under oath. What did she do? She wrote down attack questions/claims to dodge having to answer the question. She was asked a second time about it, after she'd run out of attack material. She refused to answer so she wouldn't have to deal with perjury charges later. She refused to say if the FBI had found those photos after they had to go back to get them and if she'd personally seen them. That's as near an admission as you get while under oath.

All these other things happening are attempts to remove the importance of the Epstein files by supplanting them with misdirection to grab the attention of the public and it's not working. As soon as things start to calm down, Epstein comes back to the surface. Mike Johnson has held the house from working solely to prevent having to swear in the Arizona representative. He has claimed all sorts of reasons why he can't do it, despite he'd already done so in similar conditions for Repub representatives. Normally the speaker determines what comes up for vote and what does not. However the house membership can over ride him to have something of importance be voted on, by having enough votes to force it to come to the floor. Adelita Grijalva represents that last vote needed to do that force. Mike knows on the day he opens the house, that surfaces.

It opens trump, their source of direction and power, to be exposed as what he is and that in turn brings up the question should he continue in the office of POTUS. For the Repubs, trump isn't replaceable. They have no one else that can inspire the voters as he can and this is why Mike is not wanting Grijalva seated. It's about holding on to power. Some of the Repubs will vote with the Dems to release the files, giving them the necessary votes.

"A few GOP house members say they've heard from FBI/DOJ contacts that the Epstein files (with copies in different agencies) are worse than Michael Wolff's description of Epstein photos showing Trump with half naked teenage girls," Shuster wrote.

What do you expect from the orange pedo who rapes 13 year old girls who resemble his daughter?

Please don't start the blue wave s*&^. That's like W standing in front of "Mission Accomplished."

It's one election in an off year. While it might be a sign of momentum building, it's far too early for back pats and is really a sign that effort needs to increase, messaging needs to learn and improve and those who want change from our current nightmare need to dig deeper and entrench themselves further in the long fight.

There's a lot of damage that can be done in the next year and one year is a TON of time for a lawless administration to kneecap free and fair elections in next year's midterms.

If there is a free and fair election this time next year, Trump and MAGA are finished.

Sine they know that, they will sell their souls to Satan to make sure that it is anything but.

100% agree.

Thank God

He's telling Republicans in Congress not to worry about Dems ever getting back in power with no Filibuster in place to hinder them.

They don't seem to be buying his Ego Trip that he will rule forever.

Boaz doesn't understand that when men take Viagra or testosterone supplements, that's gender affirming care.

Boaz doecbt understand when a woman gets Botox or a boob job, that's gender affirming care.

One more very important thing about the ACA:

Back in the 80s, no one had ever heard the phrase "pre-existing conditions". By 2008, that phrase was everywhere, and the baby boomers (virtually all with PECs) were just about to be tossed into high-risk pools, which were charging about 10X the COBRA rate at that time.

FTW, COBRA is made available to insured folks for ~18 months after termination, but because a) it takes all comers, and b) folks who know they'll need it are more likely to opt for it...the price is roughly the same as for a 64 yr old man, i.e., the top rate of the market. But while that was roughly $500-$600/mo in the year before the ACA, the high risk pools were charging roughly $5000-$6000/mo.
