Trump & Republicans cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires.
The Democratic Congress will fight to REVERSE these cuts.

❗️Snap benefits are being cut to help pay the $4.5 TRILLION in tax cuts for the rich.
I can’t think of anything more monstrous.

BREAKING: The United States is set to become the FIRST country ever to completely skip a U.N. review of its human rights record.
Every other U.N. member nation has participated.
The Trump administration says the council lacks credibility. Critics say America is avoiding accountability.
Here's a question worth asking: If we're going to lead the world on human rights, shouldn't we be willing to answer questions about our own?

The electoral college is affirmative action for Republicans. It's their DEI.
The people chose Hillary by a margin of 3 million votes, yet the electoral college overturned our votes and gave us trump instead. It's time for the electoral college to go.
Democrats eye opportunity to ditch Electoral College ahead of 2028 denvergazette.com/2026/11/09…

Americans invented a word for bribery so it would stop sounding like bribery.
They called it "lobbying."
A pharmaceutical company that spends $300 million purchasing the votes of legislators who will then block drug price regulation is not, in American law, corrupt.
It is "civically engaged."
A defense contractor that pays a retired general $500,000 a year to advocate for weapons contracts, contracts the general previously approved from the government side, is not a conflict of interest.
It is "private sector expertise."
A senator who receives $2 million from the insurance industry over a career and votes against universal healthcare every single time is not bought.
He is "fiscally responsible."
The genius of American corruption is not that it is hidden.
It is that it is legible, documented, publicly filed, searchable on the internet, and still not called what it is, because the people who would name it are the same people cashing the checks, and the people watching it happen have been trained to call it "democracy."
At least when a Nigerian official takes a bribe, everyone in the room knows what happened.
In Washington, they hold a press conference about it.

The economy apparently collapses if you pay a worker $25/hour, but survives just fine if the CEO gets 25 million.

A spa and waxing company valued at just $3 million walked away with nearly $40 million in federal Ebola contracts. Months earlier, an investment fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump had put roughly $30 million into its struggling parent company, XWELL, rescuing it from the edge of bankruptcy.
The CDC handed the firm’s XpresTest unit an $18.8 million deal for Ebola screening at American airports. The State Department added $20 million for outbreak response work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded in the country has killed more than 5,000 people this year. XpresTest has never worked with Ebola and has never operated overseas. Even its own CEO told ProPublica he is not sure the company can do the job.
Experienced organizations like Save the Children and the International Medical Corps were right there, with decades of outbreak response behind them. Instead, the money went to a company whose new contracts quietly boosted the price of its pending sale, a windfall that flows back toward the fund tied to the president’s sons.

JOHN KIRIAKOU: GEN Z’S AWAKENING ON ISRAEL COULD RESHAPE AMERICAN POLITICS
Netanyahu has never won more than 27% of the vote in Israeli elections, and over 70% of Israelis would never vote for him. Yet in America, critics of Netanyahu’s policies are smeared as antisemites.
Every year, billions in U.S. taxpayer-funded aid, supplemental military assistance, interest-free loans, and support in state and local budgets are allocated for Israel. All while American infrastructure deteriorates rapidly. Compare that to free healthcare and public facilities in Israel that American taxpayers effectively help fund.
Gen Z is recognizing this disconnect at an unprecedented rate. CIA whistleblower @JohnKiriakou breaks down what that awakening could mean for the future of American politics.

OH. MY. GOD. There it is… from his mouth
🚨 Netanyahu Funded Hamas $35M a Month via Qatar, using U.S. Tax Dollars, and tells Investigators:
“This is confidential and can’t be leaked, okay? We have neighbors here, sworn enemies. I’m constantly passing them messages. I confuse them, mislead them, lie to them, and then HIT them over their heads.”
• Netanyahu worked to keep GAZA under the control of HAMAS. And keep the West Bank under the control of the Fatah with the goal of preventing them from ever being united.
• Netanyahu arranged for Hamas to receive $35 Million Dollars every month from Qatar
—— suitcases of $35M in American currency, every single month.
“Because the Qatar knew him, they made him put the request in writing because they knew he was going to lie in the future.” 🤯
The result? $1+ BILLION went into the hands of Hamas…

On Tuesday, voters in Providence, Rhode Island overwhelmingly passed an ordinance requiring the city to divest from companies that enable genocide, apartheid, and human rights violations.
"The ordinance is the Palestine solidarity movement’s first binding municipal divestment law passed through popular vote in the U.S. — and makes Providence the largest U.S. city to vote to divest from Israel."
“Millions of dollars in Providence city funds are invested in companies facilitating and profiting from the Israeli genocide in Gaza, apartheid system in the occupied West Bank, and ongoing assault on Lebanon and Iran,” Jewish Voice for Peace-Rhode Island explained in a press release. “In addition, Providence has a 20-year history of investing millions in Israel Bonds, which function as direct, no-strings-attached loans to the Israeli government and military.”
“It was regular people who said, ‘we are going to create this ordinance, we are going to get enough signatures to get this on the ballot, we are not waiting for our elected officials to do something, we are going to do that work ourselves to make it happen,’”

Gen X will be the largest generation in Congress come January. In classic Gen X fashion, no one really seemed to notice or care.
